Missus and I are taking a quickie trip to Cancun 2nd-4th.  I hereby ORDER all inclement weather out of the Northeastern Mexico coast.

As for this thing, 'cane season is off to a S-L-O-W start.  A VERY slow start.  However it should start to pick up.  That big high that's been causing all the grief, meandering back/forth through essentially the entire southern United States is probably hindering development in the Gulf (which is where most of our June-early July storms happen.  The long-trackers don't get going until mid-July or so).

Just about every weather model is on board with a a tropical system off the coast next week.  It remains to be seen if it closes and reaches official storm status, but at least there will be some drought relief for parts of Texas next week.

Two things we can pretty much guarantee: if there's no shear it will get stronger than the models think, and it will hit Louisiana.

Not yet. But the Euro has been horrible on TS systems the last 2 years.

True

Models coming into agreement that whatever it is, it's going south.  I hope so, don't want that in the Yucatan next week!

Here's another one with both storms figured in, FWIW right now:

Jeez, I'll be in the donut hole in Cancun - if this holds (and I hope it does).  That "yellow" system is forecast to drift NW for once, not bullet train it to Louisiana as apparently required by law or something... well at least it's not forecast to go there - yet.

I am kind of an expert in this stuff and I am pretty sure the cucumber shaped one is going to follow the hole shaped one.

That one is yellow.  Atmospheric yeast infection.  It'll stay away.  I think it'll cross the continent and look for some Pacific snatch.

We all know the rain follows you. Be it Bee Caves or Cancun. Please come and sit on my front yard one day. I will provide beer and bbq. 

95L

1. Northern Gulf of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is centered over the northwestern Gulf of 
Mexico. Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the low has 
increased overnight but remains disorganized. Some additional 
development of this system is possible as it moves slowly westward 
or west-southwestward and approaches the coast of Texas during the 
next two days. Regardless of development, heavy rain will be 
possible along portions of the Texas coast later this week. For more 
information about the potential for heavy rain, please see products 
issued by your National Weather Service office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

Go TVCN. That’s a great track to put a dent in the lakes.

KXAN update:

https://www.kxan.com/weather/weather-blog/first-warning-tropical-low-could-bring-heavy-rain-to-central-texas/

(excerpts, bolded mine)... sub-tropical storms can still pack a lot of rain.  Still 50/50 coastal vs. inland rain:

There still remains uncertainty as to where this tropical low will come ashore, but there is increasing confidence that this disturbance will stay sub-tropical storm strength as it runs out of ocean real estate before getting pushed over land. The National Hurricane Center has a 30% probability of further organization within two days.

The European (ECMWF) model shows a more easterly track with the heaviest rain favoring east Texas, leaving Central Texas with minimal rainfall accumulation.

The American (GFS) model shows a more southerly, disorganized track that would leave our southern counties favored for ~1″ of rain, and lesser amount elsewhere.

Looks like it’s becoming a bit better organized this morning.  Possible low level circulation starting.

Not easy to find the center, but it's about here (red dot):

Looks like it even took a jog east on the latest loop.

Yeah, it's still a mess, the stationary front NW of it could be playing with it a little.  Watch for the SW wrap to see if it's getting organized.

I'll take a 40% chance that this gets into Central TX at this point.  No doubt we'd get flooded if it did, but that will bode for a decent rest of the summer at least.  Extra water will help spawn popup showers.  Lakes will be closer to full than now, etc.

I mean.....y'all know it's gonna veer east, dump everything over the Toledo Bend watershed that doesn't need any more water, and be done with it, right?  It's like y'all don't even Texas.

we need a Surly pool based on the tracks. Putting 3.50 on COT 2. I never win with the ponies so who knows about this one. 

I'm going with the green forecasted track because that has the highest level of Chuck Testa action or Greg Davis 3rd and goal where the route looks promising only to zig back behind the sticks. And as Brisket pointed out, dumping rain where we Don't need it.

maybe it will flood aggy and more sewage can be leaked.

Why would you wish that on the good people of Houston? Enough Aggy sewage ends washing downstream and polluting Cypress and the Katy Prairie as it is.

Models are in pretty good agreement on where landfall will be. Still a ways to go though. Things can and most likely will change.

Today it looks a bit stronger... NE convection isn't bubbling as much, is steadier.A little wrap on NW quadrant, and SE has at least a bubble-up.  SW will lag, especially if storm gets close to land and pulls in only dry air.  Center (red dot/white edge) today has drifted SW from yesterday as expected.  Still has a fighting chance of developing into a TS, it ain't over yet.  White specks are lightning strikes BTW.  My little semi-eduated guess is that if it continues more of a W-SW drift it'll go up on the "right" side of Austin, that is over or west of ATX.  If it starts heading north today, ATX might get nothin' or close to it.  Right now leaning ever so slightly to a path over or W of ATX.

Looks like I'm luckin' out.  PTC 1 (down over Guyana or somewhere) is sputtering, but more importantly, staying way south.  Shouldn't impact Cancun over the weekend at all, though it's certainly going to strengthen quickly once clearing the continent (SA).

PTC 2 is likely heading more NW-ward, and could potentially be a Cancun storm - but it won't arrive until mid next-week at the Mexican coast, if it gets there at all.  Plenty of time for me to get in/out by Monday evening.

As for you, I wouldn't think you'd have any problems.  The storm is bringing a little rain and wind to Houston today, but flying over the main part of it is no big deal (flying over hurricanes isn't turbulent, usually - it's flying into them that's a riot).  I wouldn't think you'll be buffeted too much except for a little bumpy ride down through the outer edge of it - and it's still pretty comparatively weak.

Fuck. We have Little League Sectionals starting in Bellville Sunday. This rain going to mess it up.
