Tropical disturbance in the Caribbean. 30% chance it will develop into storm, most models have it coming in between CC & Brownsville around Friday. That would be great! give us a bunch of rain.

Here is a link to a guys weather page I like to watch. Has links on it to a lot of good info pages. The GFDL model has always been the most accurate over the years I have been watching it. spaghettimodels.com/

We need a little storm or two in the gulf to cool it off. If we get a big storm off of Africa with the gulf as hot as it is now, it would have the potential to really be a major storm. But you are right, don't need 20 inches all at once.

I checked my records and last year at this time I was just shy of 30"!

They have moved the projected landfall further north, around San Antonio/Matagorda Bay. would put us on the dry side

Crapola I don't wish anything bad on anyone and certainly don't want our beautiful CB area anywhere to have a bad storm but I am about to the point in thinking that it may take a real bad tropical storm or even a hurricane to do us any good around here. This is flat out bad. Last night they said if we didn't get anything out of this disturbance, don't expect none for at least two more weeks! OMG.......THIS SUCKS Thanks to the Good Lord that I've got a damn good water well on my place or I'd have absolutely no grass at all and I'd have sold my cattle weeks ago!

It looks just like a nice rainmaker will be on the way somewhere along the coast. But for crying outloud, with some of local Mets on some of the TV stations and the local news rags website, you'd think a Cat 5 is on it's way. Another casualitiy thanks to instant information without stepping back and looking at the whole picture.
Clemensbluff... We can take a Cat 1 or even a weak Cat 2 without too much harm if it is a relatively small storm like they think it will be IF and that is a BIG IF it becomes a storm. The NHC hasn't even given it TD status and tsome of the local Mets a swamping us with computer models showing all sorts of what ifs that just add to the confusion.

Hopefully that thing will turn north after it makes landfall. Don't know that it can make it up here, but it would be appreciated. It's been 107-110 here for 2 months now.

Storms (and weak ones too) have been known to rain more and cause more distruction well inland vs the immediate coast. In fact a friend of mine who used to live in the upper midwest got the remains of a storm that hit the upper Texas coast a few years ago and it caused all sorts of damage.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will spawn a buttload of tornadoes but I have a shelter. lol

Gulf is pretty warm, but as fast as this storm is moving I doubt it will develop much. We can sure use the rain!

How in the hell can it make landfall by tomorrow evening at that speed??? I'm guessing they are expecting it to pick up speed.
