Travis Herzog posted this on Facebook about 30 minutes ago: Francine rapidly developing an eye, wobbles off track to the west. Those are you 1PM Monday tropical headlines. Francine's developing eye is now visible on Brownsville's radar, and based on how quickly the pressure is starting to drop, we m...

I read the center has shifted about 40 miles to the west. Will that affect the track?

We are not letting our guard down until this storm is gone. Rita was an excellent example when it changed directions and caught people off guard east of the Houston area.

Going out on a limb and saying this could become a major.
Reasons I am not privy to say.

Does anyone know anything about 91L possibly becoming a major?

Thanks.

That sounds good. At least we would get a good soaking of rain.

Plus the water temps along our area to Louisiana and out in the GOM are hot.

My mother loved watching the weather. She knew when anything tropical was brewing because she said she could feel it. I think what she felt was the barometric pressure changes. This was many years ago. I actually went through Carla as a young child, but I remember it. I was scared and excited at the...

Isn’t that what happened with Hurricane Ike?

Once again, not weather related, but I have some amazing news to share with y’all. My mom got diagnosed with CMML Leukemia last year in October and my dad got diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma in February. I had to take FMLA to take care of them. My mom had a stem cell transplant in March at MD Ander...

I saw a map of a high sitting over Texas. Is that high supposed to move?

Same here. Saw some GFS runs this afternoon showing a system around August 5 landing in our part of the coast. I'm sure the track will change this far out. I hope.

How long does that ridge stay in place, and will it keep anything tropical from heading toward us?

I gave up cable tv last fall. Too much wasted money. Anyway, this forum and Jeff are my go to for weather. Thank you all for your expertise and calmness. I’m glad to be a part of this forum.

We won’t be getting much sleep either. Same feeling about night storms.

We are getting a heavy band of rain. I’m at church in Mont Belvieu, the church is quite big, and we can hear the rain pouring down.

Just got the alert we are under a Tropical Storm warning.

Has anyone else received the Ready Harris email?

I don’t know how to post the image of the email. However, that is concerning saying the NHC is saying SETX landfall.

I just received an email from Ready Harris. Here is a quote:

The National Hurricane Center has announced that Beryl is expected to make landfall along the Southeast Texas coast between Sunday evening to Monday morning.


Beryl is expected to make landfall along the Southeast Texas coast??

What kind of winds in the Houston area on the coast. We are in Baytown on the Chambers County line.

Should we board up in the Houston area for the winds or will that not be necessary? You live out East in the Baytown area or Chambers County if I recall correctly. If it were me in that area, probably not. If there is a big change in track and intensity much closer to Harris County, it will still g...

And I will be backing up your guaranteed rain by mowing my yard this morning.
