Yeah, I needed sand bags last year for TS Matthew. water came up pretty good for a TS, it was over highway 45 in front of my house. I hope it doesn't get any better organized than say Cat 1 or we'll be in trouble..........

A Cat 1 hurricane coming in near Terrebonne Bay spells big time trouble for all of SE La.

Definately with those SST's the potential for a system to bomb is in the equation. However, all the other conditions affecting the storm have to be favorable also. So clearly SST's are not the only factor that play a role in the production of this system. It will be interesting to see how the atmospheric conditions come together as well, which at this time I think are becoming more conducive to development. Minimal hurricane IMO is not out of the question but I DONT feel we have a Cat 2 or above in the making, just not enough time!

from wwltv.com

Tropical Depression could strengthen once it enters Gulf

10:47 AM CDT on Monday, July 4, 2005


WWLTV.com

Tropical Depression Three remains weak this morning, as the center begins to move from the Yucatan Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico, according to WWL-TV Meteorologist David Bernard.

Bernard said the storm’s path—including its potential strength—will be more evident once it reforms in the Gulf.

The Louisiana coast is still the most likely area for landfall on Wednesday, with southeastern Louisiana expected to be either in the storm’s path or on the “wet” side of the storm. Bernard expects the rain will increase later on Tuesday, with the worst weather coming Wednesday.

Depending upon the movement of the storm, which could slow as it nears landfall, Bernard said the heavy rains may continue on Thursday.

Residents should stay vigilant, because the depression could strengthen very quickly once it is over water. The possibility of the storm turning into a hurricane is not out of the question, Bernard said.

And Bernard usually knows what he's talking about. What about Bob Breck? Anyone heard what his thoughts are?
