Just now getting back to Houston and trying to play catch-up so forgive me ... but IF this storm lands along the Texas coastline, what's the most likely timeframe?

Good morning. As of 4am CT, the system in the Gulf of Mexico has nearly organized into a tropical depression (named Barry), and likely will become one later this morning or early this afternoon. While Texas isn't entirely out of the woods, as there remains some uncertainty in the track and intensity forecast, this increasingly looks like a threatening situation for Louisiana. Because the state is next to Texas, and we have received so many questions from people living in, or traveling through Louisiana, we will continue to offer comprehensive coverage of Barry as the storm develops. If you're living in Houston, please continue to pay attention to forecasts for the next couple of days, as tropical weather invariably offers up surprises. However, it's probably safe to go about your business as usual this weekend.
Models really do not do a good job until there is a closed center of circulation to pin point the initialization. Once that happens, the models can tighten up significantly.AGHouston11 said:

This. We replaced a lot of the hydraulic motors they had on the old ones and some of the new ones but it really wasn't that much. Plus with the amount of water that comes if it goes over the levees there is not much they can do. They installed some kind of mats that I have no idea what they do but it was part of the process to help. The areas that do not have the mats installed...the lower income areas. This storm may get political.Hoyt Ag said:
It wont matter. They are undersized and not enough infrastructure to control this kind of event.
