Remnants of Hermine

[cisa]

I was in Humble a couple of hours ago and it was coming down in buckets. It was kind of a typical squally rain. I assume that's what we'll see over the next few days. it was a pretty hard rain though. I didn't expect it to come in like that till tonight or tomorrow.

That's quite a text book radar. Thanks for sharing that.

Looks like Hermine is slowing down based off of radar and recon. NWS radar out of Brownsville is showing the stall for the last hour. latest recon pass showed only a 3 mile distance from the previous fix, and it had moved a tad north.

I thought it looked like everything from a stall to a north movement. My concern is if it decides to stall long enough to strengthen significantly, then start moving north more towards corpus.

You know that's not gonna happen - I can see the flurry of posts. Its gonna go into Mexico. I have been reading all across the internet that folks are seeing the stall. Maybe its holding its own to become a hurricane. At least Hermine gave me something to do today besides housework.

Recon is going in for another pass.....see if our observations hold water

Note the frontal boundry across the panhandle and across Kansas.

Hermine is just like his brother Humberto......close to shore with RI. The most difficult situations for tc preparations . We make many plans based on several days but what if you had 24 hours to prepare for a CAT 3-5? It does occur and Charley was a prime example

What does that mean? is it gonna push Hermine back out to open waters?!?!?!?

What do you think srain?

[ticka1]

Good question will the front keep Hermine's rains around for longer or will there be a weakness and she will go north and push thru the frontal boundary? Or ride the frontal boundary.

[srainhoutx]

There is high pressure to the NE that has been ridging into TX. Hermine is not strong enough IMO to be influenced by the Upper Flow. That would suggest that the motion would have to be WNW NW or N. Hermine is a bit stronger via RECON and this slowing down certainly helped regarding development. Hermine may move as far N as the Brownville area. We shall see.

Going to make a run at Hurricane status...

Recon just made an outbound turn. Looking at the wind directions on the track line; something interesting is afoot. Will wait for the Vortex to confirm. Kinda already seeing it on radar.

[Bluefalcon]

Also noted that recon had some 60knt flight level winds in the East quad. Is definitely getting a little stronger.
