Duke, what’s with this ridge of drier air it look like is in mid Texas. Is that going to steer this or affect it at all? I saw it on the water vapor image on NOAA.

Think of it as Laura is working her way around the high pressure ridge and is looking for a weakness that will allow it to turn north. That trough in Texas is the weakness that will allow Laura to turn north and continue riding the ridge.

No beef at all. I mistook a few idiots as calling them out.

this one has me nervous


I was reading the Hurricane Rita storm report earlier today and was surprised that the highest measured sustained wind was 82 knots (94 mph) and highest gust was 116 knots (133 mph). However, many instruments failed due to surge or other reasons.

If Laura really gets to 115 or higher sustained winds and is moving inland faster than Rita did, the inland wind speeds could be higher.

I wouldn't be too concerned if your trees are away from falling on your house. You may lose shingles and siding, but a well-built home that far inland should be okay barring an unforeseen tornado.

@webberweather

Based on recent trends w/ #Laura & the steering pattern influencing it, I think #Laura will most likely make landfall somewhere between Freeport & Port O'Connor, TX as a category 3 or 4 hurricane, potentially putting Houston in the strongest right-front quad. We shall see...



Man this guy really face planted on this prediction from the wee hours of this morning. For reference, that's between Corpus Christi and Galveston.


Eric is a good dude and you are going to swing and miss more often than not when you try to make a call that refined.

Gotcha.

You could see the Houston hype coming a mile away (it may still impact there directly). Once New Orleans was off the table, Houston was the next big player for clicks.

Unsurprisingly, Laura and the NHC don't really care about clicks.

Knowing what he knows, he deserves the flak for going that far off the reservation. He went outside of even the most western ensemble means.
