I was supposed to drive to New Orleans today. Not so sure about that...

 

I know this ain't right....the cone still touches TX.

 

just the tip

 

That is one slow moving storm. LA is going to get deluged.

 

That's what she said.

 

This is depressing. This thing is actually quite close to us. If it was a normal system we would at least be getting some rain bands but right now we aren't getting squat. Take a look at these two satellite loops.

First the water vapor. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/flash-wv.html

You can see that there is an upper level low spinning at the Texas/LA border. This is creating a heck of a lot of shear and knocking down any development on the west side of the tropical depression.

Now look at the infrared loop. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/flash-avn.html

You can see that the actual center of this system is not that far off the coast (about 200ish miles se of galveston) but all the rain is on the east side of the system. Everything that tries to develop on the west side just gets sheared off thanks to that upper level low.

 

It's a conspiracy. One of these things was secretly built over Texas.

 

god really ****ing hates our governor.

 

I wonder if there is ANY chance that upper level low will go away any time soon. I'll take an inch of rain. just something.

 

That's the only hope. It seems to be weakening slowly.

 

The heat is melting that storm.

 

I am disappoint. Sorry, Texas.

 

You think Houston needs rain....try looking at Austin, we are turning into Arizona here.

^ When you start seeing cedar and other garbage trees dying then you know it's really bad.

 

I know, right?

Cedar trees suck up that water, I will not miss all of those that are dying, they are a weed anyway.....but dang.....my yard looks like ass.

You know its hot in Houston when we get snubbed by a tropical storm.

 

This is so wrong. Even tropical storms are running away from the Texas heat?

 

SO weird looking. It's like a half circle or something.
