Irresponsible reporting? I dont know how to post his post. What he is saying is a cat 2 hurricane is coming next week.
I will just quote this since it was just updated less than an hour ago. Something to keep an eye on..
Don't see anything on the latest models (GFS/Euro). I think whatever energy enters the gulf gets buried in Mexico due to ridging in the Northern Gulf. Still worth keeping an eye on. Things can change, though and it is hurricane season.
Anyone interested in Houston forecasts and any potential for an event should just go to spacecityweather.com. Everything you need to know. Should be old news by now, especially after their Harvey coverage.
Here is a good writeup about the tropical wave around the same area 91L was in a few days ago. Chances for development for these early season storms are small of course. He emphasizes that the biggest issue for us in Texas is of course the rain. Some good news is that the heaviest forecast totals have shifted south of us into the Victoria/Corpus Christi area for now.
These times are always worrisome. Every year where nothing major happens seems lucky and fortunate. Threat doesn't end until December.
September is the month, after that it's rain remnants. There has been 1 named storm that did anything even remotely minor on the Texas coast in November or later (Jeanne) in the past 38 years, and 1980 was a freak weather season in the Caribbean.
Hurricane threats do run up into the end of the year. They are almost always a threat to central America and rarely into the US. The threat drops off significantly for the gulf coast (sans Florida) mid October/Early November. Roughly 25% of named storms happen after September.
