msp Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 i understand concern over taking away activity off the main thread, but we can test this out as a type of reliever thread for us texas and mexico folks who want to shoot the breeze about arlene and its more local impacts. it may not be busy, but i figure this way local arlene discussion will be more easily recorded and then searched for at a later date. obviously, the more important information, forecasts, etc. should be posted in the other thread (though they can also be brought up here). BRO page on arlene: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=bro&storyid=70129&source=0 rain bands already affecting far southern texas and obviously much of the mexican coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Card Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My hope is that this will be the first of a few TS that can begin to ease the drought that has plagued this important agricultire region of TX and MX. Hopefully a nice few days of steady rains without the slides and deaths....you guys really need the relief and I pray that you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 A miss for most of Texas, but I'm sure the farmers in the RGV don't mind. This, from the weather.noaa.com site for MMMY doesn't seem correct. Precipitation Amount 2.05 inches In the 3 hours preceding Jun 30, 2011 - 09:45 AM EDT / 2011.06.30 1345 UTC 12.85 inches In the 6 hours preceding Jun 30, 2011 - 08:40 AM EDT / 2011.06.30 1240 UTC I hope it isn't correct, anyway...
