Opinions on Convection exiting Texas Coast

The convection blew up in the last 30 minutes or so, most of the convection is moving to the South/SSE. This may be just a rainmaker for Southern Texas/Louisiana. It has caused widespread flooding in Corpus Christi, Tx. Any thoughts?

It will probably just fizzle out by evening. Then again... :?:

It is kind of interesting.... :eek:

Does this qualify as a blob or a Thing? ;-)

I would say more of a thing than a blob...so does this make it Thing 2 or Thing 3?

In lay terms, it's a combination of both...that is what we amateurs refer to as a thingamablob.
:wink:

Interestingly........the GFS does depict the development of a low over eastern TX. come late in the week by Friday. If and I do qualify it as very ify, the low was to develop a couple hundreds miles further SE we could have a player. But regardless as I indicated in the Northern GOM post, the mid to UL convective vortices traversing along the Gulf Coast and maybe even the UL low now over the SE GOM do require some ever so slight interest.

Is this Thing 2? Or Thing 3? We have already had a Thing 1 according to Bob. Maybe he can verify it for us. :lol:

What may require our interest more is the fact that the GFS wants to close off a low off the coast near Brownsville later in the week and bring it NE along the coast. More than likely it is overdone, but may give us another thingamablob or maybe even something tropical to watch later. If this indeed does happen all of coastal TX could be looking at major flooding problems later in the week/weekend since we are already saturated.

I saw on the news where Corpus is flooded.

Corpus was flooded yesterday. May still be some residual from that.

Areas nearer the coast S of Houston have recieved up to 8" of rain over night and there are some flooding concerns in that area also. It is a mostly rural area.

It actually looks like we may get a break for a while from this rain. I sure hope so with the progs I've been seeing!!!

Most of the convection now seems to be building further south off the mexican coast

Just out of curiousity will this be a Category 1 thing or a category 5 thing?

I was about to say the same thing. For what ever it's worth, this convection (still) doesn't appear to be moving northeastward.

If anything, the entire Gulf currently has a west to east flow.

Category 5. It will wipe out Florida. No problems with voting this year. :lol:
