JUNE 2015 -Scattered Showers/Storms To End The Month
Winds:
Will not go much higher than 40-45mph across the coastal waters although stronger winds are possible in heavy thunderstorms and feeder bands. Worst of the weather will likely be removed to the east side of the center of circulation or across the SE TX waters into SW LA. Tropical storm force winds are possible if not likely across much of the coastal waters late Monday into Tuesday and across the coastal beaches and inland bays early Tuesday. Inland winds of 25-35mph can be expected.
I suspected as much, srainhoutex. Thank you. 25-35 mph winds generally are not damaging.

Until it's over land...one never knows. No guarantee with tropical systems...and I don't like the last few frames of radar...
Well the Houston area definitely dried out for the eveing.
New member..just checking in on the north side of Galveston Bay. Keeping an open eye in the gulf. galvbay
dumb question but I'll ask it anyway....
Earlier today, forecasters said that there was very little chance of the disturbance turning into a hurricane. Has they changed their minds about that now?

Paul, in short: no. At this time the expectation is for a tropical storm. Key phrase "at this time."Paul Robison wrote:dumb question but I'll ask it anyway....

Glad to hear it. One thing I don't get, though, is why people stand on the beach to watch things like this come in. Why?Portastorm wrote:Paul, in short: no. At this time the expectation is for a tropical storm. Key phrase "at this time."Paul Robison wrote:dumb question but I'll ask it anyway....

Ok.
This is a pretty good look at what is going on "satellite wise."
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/gmex/mflash-ir4.html
I see what looks like the main circulation at about 22.5 & 92.5.
But I also see a spin at about 23.5 & 88.
