[Tropics] 2011 Hurricane Season

Nerd Talk

 

Even a Corpus landfall should pull significant moisture our way. Looks like we might finally have a nice, rainy weekend. The Dynamic models keep pulling north though, something to watch.

 

I think Corpus Christi landfall would be too far for us to get significant rain?

 

guilty as charged...i'm a weather nerd.

 

pretty please come this way.

 

fixed.

 

With the High pressure moving eastward we should, but it's so small now so who knows. They're saying we could expect 3-5 inches of rain over the weekend just due to the pull of moisture our way.

 

Pretty excited but hating the idea that our yard is nothing but mud right now (just had a sprinkler system installed) and we have a dog that likes to get dirty. Bugging the hubby to put in new grass ASAP!

 

It will be hitting south of us. We may get some minor wind and rain, but nothing big.

 

if its hits south, we'll get soem good stuff...the north side is the dirty side

 

it's still amazing. its our fault we build crap everywhere...

mama naturale just doin what she gotta do

 

Nobody can predict where a storm will hit while it's still near the Yucatan.

The steering currents look nice for a mid to upper Texas landfall if it does organize.

 

We pay millions to have these forecasting tools, I get updates every 10 minutes. Obviously no one can predict the weather, but I have a pretty good amount of resources at my disposal... not to mention a couple of vet meteorologists.

 

Sorry if that came out rude. I didn't realize I sounded like a dik until I read it. haha

 

Models have it goin to 60 mph winds max. Hopefully this is a storm that dumps a good amount of rain but moves quickly enough to not be an Allison.

 

Awesome, then teach me stuff, lol. Seriously, I am a HUGE weather nerd. Love following hurricane season and practically live on the weather sites for updates and new knowledge.

 

I'm not the weatherman, I just trade based on what our internal weathermen say, lol.

A couple models he's looking at is showing it hitting Sugarland. Crazy how over a couple hours landfall will change a couple hundred miles. We'll probably know with good certainty where it's going to land later this afternoon/evening.

 

Are you a commodities trader by any chance? What instruments do you trade?

 

you seemed pretty certain not too long ago.

 

The way the models keep changing this could land in freaking New York. Here's the 12Z GFDL prediction.



12Z GFDL 90L.
