Something that really worries me about Emily

I know it's a long way off, but at this point, Texas seems like it may be in Emily's crosshairs. The water is scorching a good 200-300 miles off the coast of Texas. Even if Emily slams into the Yucatan and emerges in the gulf as a cat 1 or even a TS, it has so much to work with for restrengthening.

would hurricanes follow where the warm water is...

See if it survives the South America scare first.

it's moving wsw from the looks of it. Before that Mexico.

I dunno...the center might be removed from those storms on the NW side of it....

[Stratosphere747]

Look at WV, center is to the north of all the convection..

see, thats what i thought too...cuz you can see it on the IR punching through on the NW side of those...right where you see convection firing...she has a lot of work to do...but, thats what i think...

Until recon gets in there, there is no real center to track...

Just quite a bit of guessing right now...

[texasheat]

when is recon going in.

[Stratosphere747]

when is recon going in.

Early Wednesday.

[texasheat]

when do they expect a WNW turn

[Stratosphere747]

when do they expect a WNW turn

Per their discussion. Within the next 24hrs.

Until recon gets in there, way to many options.

Lots of TX people on now it seems...

I can't help but chime in as a North Texas resident and native Louisiananian . . . . We're watched the storms over Florida and the Eastern Gulf Coast and realize it is just a matter of time. The question of the day - could it be Emily? Franklin? on down the list?? Yes - we are all watching them all very closely.

I am watching for two coastal areas, Houston (where my office is) and Louisiana (where my family is).

I met a guy from St. Louis on my flight from Houston to Dallas today and the topic of Dennis came up as they are getting the remnants. Believe it or not, he was from Donaldsonville Louisiana. Everyone is watching, including those who aren't fanatical weatherboard (2Kers) watchers.

And of course the one like last week that can't wait to get a storm over in Texas. As soon as the center turned NW they all ran. Unlike us TRUE weather fanatics

Wobble Wobble.... It's coming to TEXAS!!!

It's looking like Mexico to me, now. I can see it crossing the central Yucatan and heading right into Mexico south of Tampico. I sure hope so. By the time it makes landfall I'll have worked 23 straight days at 12-15 hours/day. Would be perfectily fine to me if it "did an Earl".

Gilbert track(not intensity)????

That's what I'm thinking. That ridge may be pretty strong - too strong to allow for recurvature in the Gulf or BoC.

why are you working so much?

[wxman57]

why are you working so much?

We have customers to support, and these stupid hurricanes won't go away! It's supposed to be quiet in July, so people can take vacations, days off, etc.
