June 2017: Typical Summertime WX To End Month

[StormOne]

GFS ain't budging, still showing the Sabine River track with 999mb at landfall. Completely drenches the Louisiana coast.

Most of the area gets 2 + inches of rain from the 12z GFS run.

When is recon flying

[jasons2k]

They should just get past the bureaucratic barriers, stick with the existing classification system and issue advisories with Invests. Simple.

When is recon flying

They are in there now. They have been for, I think, a couple of hours.

[Cromagnum]

Now it's official.

Is it a TD yet?

[tireman4]

Well, it has not been declared one....not sure what the pro mets are thinking...the winds would dictate such, I will say that. This is just an amateur speaking. There is more criteria than just winds....

I realize looks can be deceiving when viewing satellite loops on these kinds of systems, but after reviewing the 48-image GOES 16 visible satellite of the Gulf ... it doesn't look like this thing is moving right now. At all.

Agreed Porta. I think it is stationary.

That's what scares me the most - these storms with copious amounts of rain with no wind behind it ala Allison....

We have Cindy:

[tireman4]

We were right Porta, she is stationary.

[tireman4]

So, here is a question for the pro mets (Srain, Brooks, Andrew, Wxman 57, David), being stationary....

1. You expected this and then it would traverse NW, W and then NE
2. Surprise
3. Not sure what to think

[sau27]

NHC really expanded the wind field on the latest advisory. Interesting, as it doesn't look like it has wrapped up all that much yet.

[tireman4]

Here is the estimated arrival time of Cindy

[srainhoutx]

Inspecting Water Vapor Imagery, we can see the Upper Low along the Texas Coast moving slowly out and the clouds over Louisiana associated with Cindy's Outflow expanding West toward E/SE Texas. If we look to West Texas, we can see the Eastern periphery of the SW Heat Ridge slowly edging back to the West toward Arizona. This stall may be related to that Upper Low and I suspect a NW or WNW motion will resume later today into tonight. If you recall the ECMWF suggested the Upper Low would move out of the way and a Westward motion could occur along the Central/SW Louisiana Coast prior to turning North along the Middle/Upper Texas Coast and moving inland. We have great satellite tools that assist in visually seeing what is happening.

EURO just in. Galveston. 992mb
