Figured I'd get it started.

11 days until the 2021 Hurricane Season.

Right on time, models are hinting at some type of tropical disturbance forming out of that blob of convection in the GOM in the next day and moving into Southeast Texas.  That would not be good as far a training rains are concerned.

    I forgot OU was going to New Orleans. That would explain why the storm is being sucked in that direction. I hope forecasters are taking that into account when they plot those paths.

Yup, always, ALWAYS the early-early season off-the-Texas-coast thingamabob.

There's also one dancing around out there in the N. Atlantic, won't affect us or get big at all, but Whomp! There it is!

I’ve only known one Mindy, and she was a real bitch. 

I'll wager that Peter and Rose won't consecutively affect the outcome of any MLB game.

A disorganized area of cloudiness and thunderstorms over the 
western Gulf of Mexico is associated with a surface trough of low
pressure. Conditions are expected to be marginally conducive for
some development over the next day or so before the disturbance 
moves inland over the northwestern Gulf coast late Friday or Friday 
night. Regardless of development, the system could produce heavy 
rainfall over portions of southeastern Texas and southwestern 
Louisiana on Friday and through the weekend.  Additional information 
on the rainfall and flooding potential can be found in products 
issued by your local National Weather Service Forecast Office. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

I'm not really sure what this means. They shut down I10 earlier this week and it's possible there could be enough rain to do it again beginning tomorrow night.

It means, whether it becomes tropical or not, it's gonna rain like a mofo in places where it rained like a mofo this past week.

Probably a fish storm.

Now up to a 40% chance of development.

Recent satellite imagery suggests that a low-level circulation is
forming associated with the mid- to upper-level disturbance over the
western Gulf of Mexico. However, shower and thunderstorm activity
remains disorganized. Environmental conditions are expected to be
marginally conducive for development, and a short-lived tropical
depression or storm could form before the disturbance moves inland
over the northwestern Gulf coast tonight. Regardless of development,
the system could produce heavy rainfall over portions of
southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana during the next few
days. Additional information on the rainfall and flooding potential
can be found in products issued by your local National Weather
Service Forecast Office.

SpaceCityWeather and KHOU are both saying it's going to be a good ole turd floater here in Houston.  Sucks for kid's tball game and crawfish boil this weekend.

Can we just fast-forward to October, skip the 1000 degree days, say fuck hurricanes?

Everything I've read is basically, "it was going to rain anyway whether this thing turns into anything or not"

It will be inconsequential (unless you live near Beaumont and then you will get 2 feet of rain)

A Hurricane with red hair. Book it.

This thing isn't even causing Houston NWS to bat an eye.  They're saying a lot of dry air will be pulled in and even if it gets to TS strength, it'll weaken so quickly as to be really a non-factor(?).  Just heavy rain  - widespread, not everywhere - in extreme coastal Texas.

I'll check back but this is so far a nuthin'burger.  For now.

Its not like Imelda which happened in September when the Gulf was full of Rocket Fuel.

Yeah, this isn't likely to become a big storm or anything, but it could dump a lot of rain on some places that have already had a lot of rain over the last week.

List is terrible. No Camille, Allison or Harvey.

Camille is the first one I would bring back.

That bitch don't fuck around.

Galveston, Harvey, Allen, Allison, Camille, Carla, Alicia, Rita, Ike, Audrey, Celia, Rosa, 

Up to 60% now.

Surface observations and recent satellite wind data indicate that a
well-defined low pressure system over the western Gulf of Mexico has
winds of 30-35 mph near and east of the center. The associated
shower and thunderstorm activity remains limited, but any increase
in this activity may result in the formation of a short-lived
tropical depression or storm before the system moves inland over the
northwestern Gulf coast tonight, and potential tropical cyclone
advisories may be needed as early as this afternoon. Regardless of
development, the system could produce heavy rainfall over portions
of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana through Saturday.
Given the complete saturation of soils with ongoing river flooding
along the Texas and Louisiana coastal areas, heavy rain could lead
to flash, urban, and additional riverine flooding across this
region. Additional information on the rainfall and flooding
potential can be found in products issued by your local National
Weather Service Forecast Office.

I thought the 1900 Storm was pretty funny.

If you live in Beaumont, you deserve it. SE Texas sucks. Including Houston. I wish I could leave.

They should just do something like the most popular baby names in New Zealand in 1992 and just roll with it.

Meh, looks like it will be more to the west and no big deal.  NWS forecasts now of less than an inch for everywhere I looked in SE Texas.

Yeah, it sucked in a lot of dry air today which pretty much killed any chance of it developing.  I'm ok with that. 

Who would have thought Austin would get more rain than the Triangle?
