[2015] Hurricane Season

and bitcoin is the new global currency? and we just dont know it yet?

 

Um. Sure.

 

It actually originated from the chron

 

I laughed at the first 20 seconds then was exhausted from the guy's sheer energy. That's stamina.


Weather geeks- how does this early storm bode for the rest of the season? something something Katy?

 

So where is the f5 hurricane hitting? Should I go to new orleans or is that a trap?

 

Not looking good out there

Rocket River

 

This storm system is pretty large. Our area may seriously get hammered.

It's becoming more organized with a solid rotation now.

 

The new update shows Houston really not receiving much as they had originally thought. New models are showing more of a westerly movement now.

 

Good!

 

Link?

I just want to stay home tomorrow and spend time with my lil man.

 

According to the blogs on WU, the EL Nino is going to put a damper on the season this year. Who knows?

 

Even further west though, TWC only had Houston at like two inches as of this afternoon. Won't be a big deal at all for us here I think.

 

Your husband know you call him that in a forum of 99.99% dudes?

 

I think the echochamber of social media and the desire for eyeballs on the local news feed the frenzy. Maybe the drought just made people forget what the weather here on the Gulf Coast really is.

 

It either always turns south/west or goes east towards Louisiana. The reason it does this is because I want the day off. There is zero chance we get anything other then a light drizzle and I will be at work no doubt about it.

Spoiler

sorry I definately have a case

 

same thing every time, it seems...path curves west and it hits closer to the tip

 

I don't think the projections are that it's going to be further west than expected. This guy is projecting it will hit Port O'Connor:

Apparently we're still expected to get heavy rain on Tuesday, probably continuing into Wednesday morning.

 

As LF said,

going off these "future tracks", if they are right, looks like Palacios and Victoria will get hit. Not as bad as initially thought or could have been.

The Coriolis effect makes them move North and East but pressure and winds have just as much effect.

 

This thing is so clearly a tropical storm. If the NHC does not name this thing within the hour then there is something going on that may warrant a DD thread over. The good news as you all know models trended a bit west making the extreme worst case scenario more unlikely. The bad news is that it seems to have slowed down a bit and we know how bad slow moving tropical systems can be with rainfall. It also gives it more time over water to intensify, so a run up to Cat 1 does not seem so unlikely anymore right now.
