I predict this is going to be a very active thread for the next few months...
Yeah, I didnt mean they have to be damaging storms. My point is that we rely on gulf storms when we can get them.txags92 said:Several of the largest rain producers in Texas history (not talking about Harvey) were very weak storms (depressions, TS, or Cat 1) and did very little wind or storm surge damage along the coast, but dumped huge amounts of rain inland. We could use one of those in the Hill Country right now to start refilling some lakes.AgGrad99 said:
I never want damage along the coast...but Texas pretty much relies on these type of storms to come through periodically...these days more than ever with our booming population.
Totally agree. I would rather see it come in farther south and weaker, then turn north and sit over the hill country for a while.Old Sarge said:
No offense, but I hope your "lean" is waaayyy off, and success in prediction at this point fails miserably.
Projected to be one of the most active years on record, so far...looks like it may happen.Tailgate88 said:

Interestingly, the GFS and HWRF 12z runs have moved quite a bit to the south and both show it coming in around the mouth of the Rio Grande. The GFS is now closer to the Euro in predicting a weaker storm in the gulf, while the HWRF is showing a much stronger storm at landfall.Old Sarge said:

I feel like the meteorologists say this most years. I don't not believe you guys, but it's always a "we'll see" for me.P.U.T.U said:Projected to be one of the most active years on record, so far...looks like it may happen.Tailgate88 said:

I'm supposed to be in Cancun in 2.5 weeks. Hopefully this isn't a devastating storm for them
Not triggered by the phrase, but not a fan of those who attribute things to global warming no matter what it is. He can have his own interpretations, just like anyone else, but when someone utters the global warming tripe, their opinion means less to me than the opinion of someone not caught up in that crap. Same would be true if they were a Bigfoot believer or a flat earther.Ogre09 said:one safe place said:If you read the daily posts on Space City Weather (same guys do the Eye Wall) he often will say something like "due to the effects of climate change." Or "this is the result of climate change." Not sure if he (or they) do the same thing on the Eye Wall, but it is not uncommon on Space City Weather.TikkaShooter said:Quote:

Link to this on the eye wall?
More than once people have chastised him for it in the comments and he does not like it much at all when they do.
I wouldn't call him a huge global warming nut. I think he looks at data and interprets it as it makes sense to him. He doesn't completely avoid the topic, but it's not like it's ever his main focus. If you're triggered by the phrase then you might get upset occasionally reading that site.

Praying that it DOES NOT make landfall in Rockport.

We live in Rockport Country Club and we did fairly well with Harvey, but it was absolutely devastating to all of Rockport. Just didn't want to ever have to deal with this again.
