Damn, that means a lot of rain.

12z ICON is insistent on that Galveston up the LA/TX stateline track.

I’ve seen some videos claiming the GFS has been the primary indicator for landfall but that it’s been inaccurate. The videos have said to use the ICON which has been forecasting a closer-to-Houston landfall all along. Any validity to these claims?
Without knowing who you’re talking about, that just sounds like someone throwing shite against the wall looking for clicks.
If you were to use the ICON the past few days, you’d have been thinking it was a SWLA landfall.

Deterministics all are inside of Texas now.
OT really nailed this one.

The Euro has been trash b/c it's been too weak. The GFS has been middle of the road bad. The ICON has been the most consistent with a Texas landfall. However, it's hard to say if that is "right for the wrong reasons" or a model success story.
For hurricane forecasting, the global models don't have the resolution to handle storm scale issues with tropical systems. The globals are mostly useful for steering, shear, upper air patterns, etc. You wouldn't typically rely on a global model forecast track, but you would use the output of a global to generate a forecast track.

How did Cancun make out? We have a week long trip beginning on the 17th of July.

Beryl appears to be tracking on the righthand side of the 06z guidance envelope. Ensemble members in that cluster take the system a ways up the Texas Coast.

Space City Weather guys went from last two days of “no worries in Houston” to today’s “watch this more closely.”

Does any of this have to do with how “early” the storm was for the Caribbean and the lack of historical data for the area?

What, if any, atmospheric conditions exist that can operate to keep the storm from Rapid Intensification, as it passes Yucatan and travels back into the Gulf on its way to its landfall?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't like how they keep moving up the Intensification timing.

I don’t like that cone coming more in my direction.

Are conditions in the Gulf favorable for Rapid Intensification? If so, the, it will rapidly intensify and continue to curve towards Galveston Bay and the Tx-La state line.

Reading this and the fact the scientific models kept initializing the storm much weaker than the NHC was claiming makes the conspiracy theory side of me wonder if it ever really was a Cat 5. Election year and the left needs to push climate fear so maybe the govt leaned on the NHC to overblow it in order to get the “record setting storm” talking points
Nah. It was a legit beast and earned it.
Now, if you want to redirect this energy toward the 75mph Cat. 3 Major Hurricane Idalia making landfall last year in the Big Bend of Florida I'd consider throwing my support behind you.
