thx

"One computer model indicated the weather system could reach hurricane strength before making landfall, but the Miami-based hurricane center's official prediction called for it to top out as a tropical storm with maximum winds of 55 knots, or 63 miles per hour (102 km per hour)."

The warm water worries me. I could see Cat. 1 at landfall.

Data says from here to Galveston so decent chance, we'll know Monday afternoon.

well, if it does hit us, hopefully it doesn't get too big... i had a lot of fun going outside and playing during Humberto last year  ;D

[indiansfan]

This is the new updated computer models from Weather Underground.

Hey KFDM COOP you think we are going to get hit still man.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

man the waters are like 85 degrees by the coast 

[indiansfan]

Hey I heard from James Brown it might hit Galveston head on and we will get the rain bands and the wind behind it.

This is a very good website for tracking the storm:

am i wrong, or have i heard somewhere that the eastern edge of a hurricane is the most volatile (it certainly looks like we might catch that part of the storm...)

That's very true. The best bet for that area is for the storm to come in near Galveston. It's not all that big, so the farther west it goes, the better. As it sits now, Edouord is forecast to turn slightly tonight and seems to be heading between Houston and Port Arthur. That's not good just because it's not moving fast and you'll get a ton of rain. Being on the eastern side also raises the risk of tornadoes being embedded in some of those thunderstorms as it comes ashore. All in all, it shouldn't be too bad and you guys could use the relief from the heat.

[BearWolf]

meaning?

[BearWolf]

just a lot of rain?

[adminbaberuth]

CNN just forecasted a northerly movement, probably Port Arthur but the storm is very disorganized, they said it was half a storm what ever that is. Coop, digest that and get back to us.
