Point being, hurricanes are not just a dot on a line, and SE TX will likely see beneficial rains from Alex. It may be even too much, and flooding could definitely become an issue.

I was just referring to a recon center fix map posted on Eastern where they had found the center had begun moving just a bit more westerly. It indeed could be just a wobble, or the beginnings of a more NW heading.

Oh! I want to answer too teacher! :P

If you had asked this yesterday I would have said just north of Brownsville, but I think I like the NHC track at this point...

I see what you mean by looking at the satellite it will be interesting to see if it keeps moving west. i just hope it doesnt get near the coast and stall out and move north again!

the door is still open for sure for a NNW run but its feeling the ridge to its east now ( increase in forward speed) and the 2 highs are looking to merge in the mid states

earlier I was concerned about a stall at the coast and another SV digging in the PAC- NW that could pick it up before landfall.....I think that is out of the mix now....

Well a couple of days ago I would of said Corpus but now with the good model consensus and the system moving I think Brownsville or a tad to the north is my guess as of now.

You?

Certainly, anything is possible at this point!
