August 20, 20223 yr Lake Falcon desperately needs the rain. Last week's little bitch ass weather maker that went in around Corpus gave Laredo a couple of days of good rain. Meanwhile, Zapata got hardly anything.
August 20, 20223 yr Yeah, I was down in the valley last month. Good lort they need the rain. Hope it stalls over Roma
August 21, 20223 yr Maybe it's just me but I've never seen these "just 20%" tropical systems ever not develop.
August 26, 20223 yr Author This is the GFS (American model) that shows a major hurricane making landfall in South Texas over labor day weekend. The GFS is not a great model for tropical storms and it is 10 days out, but there are more than a few other models that see "something" forming in the GOM sometime next week. The EURO doesn't show anything, but the last couple of years it hasn't been good sniffing these storms out. It's still pretty good once a storm does form so it is something to keep an eye on.

August 26, 20223 yr The Labor Day storm models have been changing landfall locations from SW Louisiana to south Texas over the last several runs. Pretty consistent with at least a disturbance and some one may get some rain
August 26, 20223 yr We’ll get the west side of the storm and have a nice, soupy, 106° Labor Day Weekend

We had a good thread going with some smart people talking about emergency supplies. This is FEMA's list. I would take this as a minimum. One thing I added to mine is a camping pellet stove. No matter what, they work. I also make some additional components like water proof fire starting kits. https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20210318/how-build-kit-emergencies
August 26, 20223 yr I have water and dry goods / foods. Having a gas stove helps. Need some instant coffee

Need some instant coffee if you have gas get a stove top percolator and a few bricks of Cafe Bustello. Cheap solution, better coffee, and lasts for a long time. 2 minutes ago, Grade of D as in David said: There is no mention of booze in that FEMA doc. Depends how you read it. I have it under the medicine category

August 28, 20223 yr dammit, now I want a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Where the hell is @Hate to give us cool maps we can wish upon?
August 28, 20223 yr Author There isn’t much to report at the moment. I don’t think much is expected as far as impact to Texas with any of these storms. The latest Euro shows we all get some rain this week.

Honestly…… the last few years I haven’t paid much attention, but we really need a light hurricane season with the combination of inflation, high gas prices, and most people on surly wanting the dems to do well in November.
September 14, 20223 yr You guys remember all of the fun times we've had discussing the accuracy of the ... <checks notes> .....CMC Model? https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gem

September 14, 20223 yr Author The models are split right now on where this goes. If it strengthens at all, it should turn north and then out into the open Atlantic as a fish storm. If it continues west and gets shredded by the mountains of PR, DR, and Haiti, then it could re-emerge in the gulf and form again. It's way too early to know for sure. although most of the pros I follow think this is a fish storm.

Bitch is going to curve north like a good Dominican curveball (or evening of drinking rum) and flood England. FEMA and CNN will still call for emergency preparedness in El Paso. Hope I am wrong, but.....
