As of this morning it looks like Galveston would probably be as far west she goes. It’s still possible she goes into SWLA too.

How far west does she look to be going at this point (I realize change will happen)? Texas west?? Or still LA/TX border west?

The new official update will be released any minute.

Just wanna say thanks to all you weather guys participating in this thread. The info in this thread is always more detailed and explained. And more importantly, accurate. It’s all I pay attention to.

My SO will look at TWC and other social media and start panicking. I will usually parrot rds and the others on here, and she’s convinced I’m some kind of weather guru, normally correct.

Thanks guys. You always guide our preparations. And have brought me from an OT 3 to a 4.5 in my SO’s eyes.

I am not sure that Laura does not slow a bit and end up with enough of a curve on Wednesday to shift its target back to SELA and possible reach a CAT 3.

I immediately laughed in my head as I remember those times - sure miss those days!

Thanks to all for keeping us updated and informed- very much appreciated.
