So, basically the bottom line is when want the ridge to erode or be weaker so it goes to our neighbors in LA..if it's stronger it's coming home to texas..correct?

12Z GFS ensembles,still not agreeing completely with the operational run. It will be interesting to see what the Euro shows.

We don't even have a named system yet. Haha. This is fairly par for the course. ;)

Hey guys! I've lurked on this forum quite a bit, but now have arrived! This coming storm looks quite significant, and the model runs have certainly been nothing short of hectic.

I'm looking forward to the insights these coming days!

Then you must not have followed tropical systems very much. This is pretty common.

There really isn't too much disagreement actually with the 3 models showing the border give or take and just the UK showing mid Tx. Not bad till the 12 Euro comes out and throws up a different solution like yesterday!

Until we get a COC ( and even that might not synthesize the model consensus), this will be all over the place. Stay tuned.

Hurricane Ike models just about 48 hours prior to landfall suggested a Corpus Christi/N Parde Island landfall and evacuations started down there to only have those models shift to Galveston forcing all the State and Federal assets to quickly relocate to Galveston/Bolivar Peninsula. I believe that there was crow eating by some Pro Mets and government officials... :(

If anything forms historically speaking, Galveston County has the highest odds of getting hit. They have the highest number of major hurricane direct hits in the state going back to 1900. However, one cannot solely rely upon historical impacts to determine where this system will end up.

Edit: actually, it is Brazoria County with the highest number, but Galveston County is #2.

Yes, I can second that emotion. It was wild on this forum about it. Crazy

Just my 2 cents but I believe we live in a totally different world than what once was. You can throw out all the records, statistics, history.....it's a new ball game now...the "hot spots" have changed....
