Mississippi hides from another storm

I have a question for the experts.

It seems the slight shift east has put the "eye," if there even is one, passing just to the west of me, but not by much.

Looking at the hourly forcast though shows not a super high chance of rain, or anywhere close to tropical storm force winds here.

Is this because so much dry air is feeding in now that those just east of the eye are not going to catch much of anything?

Thanks

I think I've actually learned a little bit in these threads. Weather has always interest me.

As bad as it was for Houston, the fact that most of the rain fell in the SE to E parts of the suburbs was a huge break. If those totals are on the NW side of the city, the flooding is likely even worse.

Can you post the latest HRRR?

Gas price definitely going up...along with the lubricants that I sell, mentioned earlier, I sell fuels in bulk.

All of the terminals, that I have access to pricing, have raised gas prices no less than 40 cents/gal since yesterday morning. If/when it goes up tomorrow, hello 3.00 - 4.00 gas

question from a now out of stater: is Baton Rouge and New Orleans seeing an influx of houstonians evacuating? Kind of a reverse Katrina movement or is it still too soon?

---

No. Houstonians are going to go to San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. New Orleans would be way, way down the list.
