Does anyone have the long term on the system just off of Africa? I saw somewhere that it's projected to be a major just north of the islands in about a week.

All things considered ( and I am not downplaying the bumpy ride my hometown of Santa Fe and others down south had), we were fortunate. Then wind shear of 10-20 kts sure saved us more headache. He was trying to ramp up quickly and that shear saved us ( if save is the correct word). The Hurricane season is not over, so do not let your guard down. Make sure your kits are stocked and your plans are still in place.

I’m watching that one also.

The 2 big models show that wave dissipating around or north of the islands as of the 0 and 6z runs. Still way early in the game for the waves though and lots can and will change!

One other model was not good at all for it, especially for the rain forecast! Maybe some people don't like posting a forecast or opinion about it, because of the risk of being called out for a wrong forecast. Can't get it right all the time! NHC is amazing at what they do for sure...

yep it was said it the GFS was performing poorly and that teh Euro had the better handle on the storm. GFS has been the better model this year, Euro seems off.

Im surprised our wind gusts here in Beaumont if the CoC is still near Houston. Local mets are showing 40mph gusts in some areas. Power is back on but keeps popping off every so often so Im sure it will eventually go out for good. So thankful the floods didnt happen. I was getting really concerned for the Golden Triangle as we are the Mecca for Extreme flooding last few storms. Thank you shear!

While I do agree the GFS has been better than the Euro this year.Sometimes there tends to by a little hyperbole when it come to talking about how good or bad a particular model performed.The reality is that most of the time things end up somewhere in the middle when it comes to global model performance.The EURO did a better job when it came to detecting that we would get TC genesis in the first place.While at the same time the GFS was showing just a wave moving inland.On the other hand in the shorter range the GFS did a better job in regards to the track and strength of Nicholas.As the EURO was too far west and weak with Nicholas.

But it really isn't a case of one model wins and the other model loses,they both had pros and cons during the storm.Which is usually the case 90% of the time.

Maybe a stupid question, but…is it possible Nicholas could strengthen a bit or maintain current status going near galveston bay? Just curious .

No the circulation is too disrupted at this point from land interaction and wind shear for it to restrengthen.Its not a stupid question though,while rare some storms have strengthen over inland bodies of water such as swamplands and lakes.

Thanks for answering. Just curious. Ive heard about over swamplands and saw the Bay is awfully close to the center. Thanks for answering.

When is all this light misty crap supposed to move out of here?

Hope it doesnt move out! Loving this cool misty feeling in college station

Well I have no power..and I gotta feed a family so I gotta get the pit going but can't because of this light *** misty rain lol

Think about how bad it could’ve been if the soils were saturated.

Kingwood36 oh I definitely understand, it’s probably going to take a day or so for this to clear out, maybe sooner, hope your family recovers soon though!

Ok Im over the mist. Winds in Beaumont seem to be slowing a bit gusting to about 30-35ish now. So far max gust was 43 early this morning. Now if we can just push this mist outta here…. Im over Nicholas already. He gave me a headache last two days on who what where when etc. Good news? This is great napping weather.

I’m ready for cold weather.

Here at my job in Rosenberg they get hit much harder than the Wharton area. I didn’t even see any twigs down at my house when I left for work this morning. I get to about Beasley on 59 and started to see a lot more damage. I get to my job and there’s street signs blown down everywhere, a small tree got uprooted, and branches, twigs, and leaves scattered all over the place. And a lot more rain than we got too. We even have some shingles that got blown off the roof of the house over here at my job.

I’m ready for a severe thunderstorm to hit my house and bring me about 5” of rain. I got a quarter of an inch out of Nicholas.

Oh my. 1pm update. Nicholas is still JUST on the coast. I thought he was over Houston??
