| I wasn't paying any attention the the weather, yet as traveled to Austin Tx. to teach a radio class, when I got into the Huston area, I quickly noticed that all the message boards on the highway had this message up, "Storm forming in gulf" - "Fill your tanks" Depending on which way it goes it might make for a wet day in Austin about Wed.. |

Tropical Storm EDOUARD
Edouard could become a minimal Hurricane just as it approaches the Texas Coast. One good thing about this storm, is if heads west into Texas it will pass some areas that hard hit by Drought. |

1 edit | you have to remember that each time it rotates it wobbles and those wobbles can be as much as 150 miles to either side of its direction. Just the nature of the storm. Another reason that New Orleans city proper was missed by the eye. If it had moved to the west at just the right time the storm might have passed over the city.
This wobble is caused by the earths movement as well as the right front side of the storm usually being the strongest side.
If you live in the Houston area, or the Channel area I would be packing and leaving as this might only be a mininal Hurricane as it hits the rain is going to flood everything in the area.

Hows it going over there in Nederland this morning? I was there last year when Humberto went through there last year. The funny story about that was that I was working a 7 day/Commissioning T/A there and I was not to miss work.. when the eye passed, I went in... I was told to leave the plant as soon as I got there and got hit big time on the way back... It was such a mess.. I felt like I had some big wrestler rocking my car side to side... try driving that! It will scare you.

| said by Budster  :Hows it going over there in Nederland this morning? One heck of a lot better than I than I thought! LOL
I worked the dayshift that Humberto came through and it dummped a scoot load of rain. The Chemical plant that I used to work for has containment levees around it and for one reason or another, there was a good 6-8" of water standing in the unit! It made for a real nice day! LOL
As for Ed, little wind but, outside of the duration the front that came through Sunday was a lot worse at least as for wind speed! Not a whole lot of rain either.
I really appreciate all of ya'll who take the time to post weather info here! I really do!
Thank You all! |

| Rain fall rates along the right front quadrant are what we expected...Right about 1.50 to 2.10 per inch in the Houston area and back over towards Lake Charles, as much as 3 inches have fallen.
The storm continues on a NWN track and will start to turn towards the NNN then wrap around the high Pressure dome that is building. The areas under the dome wont see any rain depending on which way it shifts. Right now a shift west into New Mexico and Arizona is expected with heavy monsoonal rains building over the MT's and Deserts.
It might even push into southern California and produce heavy thunderstorm activitiy in the eastern areas of San Bernardino, San Diego and Riverside Counties. That is an area equal to 15 eastern states.
