Yeah. Pressure falls are beginning across the Yucatan Channel and just N of the Yucatan Peninsula. That is usually indicative of a broad area of low pressure attempting to develop along the Northern end of the Wave Axis.

That first recon plan/fix is about 300 miles due e of Brownsville.

Extrapolating what I'm guessing will be the expected track put a baffin bay to matagorda bay landfall of whatever comes of 95l.

Come Friday morning, we could have 5 named active systems in the Atlantic/GOM.

If that happens, I believe that's a first?

A Landfall between CC and Matagorda would put SETX on the dirty side.

With a lopsided system like this seems it may be, you don't have to be near the center to get strong effects from the storm if you're on the dirty side,in fact sometimes the worse of the storm is displaced to the north and east of the center of circulation.

From Jeff at 12:49:

Satellite and surface observations in the southern Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean Sea is indicating that the tropical wave is becoming better organized and a tropical cyclone is likely to form in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday or Friday.

NHC has raised the chances for formation to 70% over the next 5 days.

Observations also indicate a large area of gusty winds…to near tropical storm force…across the Yucatan Channel extending into the SE Gulf of Mexico.

This system is moving toward the WNW/NW and this motion is expected to continue bringing the feature toward the TX coast Friday and Saturday. A USAF “hurricane hunter” aircraft is now planned to investigate the system tomorrow to determine if a tropical depression or storm has formed or is forming.

Residents along the TX coast should closely monitor the progress of this system and have plans and kits ready to be enacted later this week as it is becoming increasingly likely that some sort of tropical system will be impacting the TX coast late this week and this weekend.

While it is still too early to be certain of any specific impacts…chances for rainfall…some heavy…will likely increase as the large mass of tropical moisture associated with this system moves toward the TX coast by late this week.

Do you think it will landfall north of Corpus, instead of around Baffin Bay?

That's what I was thinking, but a local met here in BPT is saying us and even Hou will be just out of its rain bands... I still feel it will make a slightly northern shift once we get more specific data from the flight tomorrow/Thursday...
