Ed Lizard Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 bendy tallgrass Be sweet if Josh had a camera handy and got to see a funnel cloud... LASTLY...TROPICAL STORM DON IS FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST TX COAST DURING FRIDAY NIGHT PER LATEST NHC GUIDANCE. ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE AND DIURNAL HEATING WILL PROMOTE TSTM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE NWRN GULF COAST NWD ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY WELL REMOVED FROM THE SMALLER TROPICAL CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH DON. AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL SHEAR COULD BRING A THREAT FOR A TORNADO OR TWO ALONG THE TX COAST FRIDAY NIGHT AS CONVECTIVE BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL STORM DON MOVE INLAND.

Srain Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Nothing real surprising here... THE INITIAL MOTION IS NOW 305/14. DON REMAINS TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF A DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...AND THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS FORECAST THIS FEATURE TO PERSIST FOR THE NEXT 36-48 HR. THIS SHOULD STEER DON GENERALLY NORTHWESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD UNTIL LANDFALL ON THE TEXAS COAST IN ABOUT 36 HR. THE TRACK GUIDANCE...WHICH SHIFTED NORTHWARD BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z...HAS SHIFTED SOUTHWARD FOR THIS ADVISORY. THE NEW FORECAST TRACK HAS BEEN ONLY SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED TO THE SOUTH AND LIES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE. SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE FORECAST TRACK MAY BE NECESSARY IF THE TRACK GUIDANCE STABILIZES AROUND A TRACK SOUTH OF THE CURRENT FORECAST. THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS AGAIN FORECAST MODERATE SHEAR TO CONTINUE UNTIL DON MAKES LANDFALL. THIS AND CONTINUED INTERACTION WITH DRY AIR OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO IS LIKELY TO IMPEDE INTENSIFICATION...AND THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT DON WILL MAKE LANDFALL AS A TROPICAL STORM AND NOT AS A HURRICANE. THE NEW INTENSITY FORECAST CALLS FOR A LITTLE LESS STRENGTHENING DURING THE FIRST 12-24 HR DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF SHEAR AND ARC CLOUDS...THEN CALLS FOR DON TO REACH A PEAK INTENSITY OF 50 KT NEAR LANDFALL. AFTER LANDFALL...THE CYCLONE SHOULD WEAKEN TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BY THE 48 HR POINT AND TO A REMNANT LOW BY THE 72 HR POINT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneJosh Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Josh knows I am bustin, back off LoungeLizard C'mon. You dished it first. steveO , sorry this will not help your drought, was pulling for you, next time? Was hoping that Josh had perfect timing, being with Cory and all, this sucks, especially for the drought crowd. Maybe he pulls another rabbit out of hat but unlikely. It could still help with the drought, even if the cyclone itself is total schlock. In fact, a meteorologist on San Antonio news yesterday was saying how sometimes it's better for the system to remain disorganized if you want rain over a large area-- because once it tightens up and consolidates, the rain shield gets smaller. Kind of interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 it's a win-win.. and it will be good to even get minimal, genuine conditions data. i can't wait to see how he holds up and reports, i'm pretty excited for that. and you've already won by getting to spend time AND tech nerd it up with Cory! some fellas have all the dang luck! Thanks, Amy. We just got to Corpus, and of course I'm a little pissed that we're probably not going to get Celia II (), but as long as it remains a coherent system with a center, the data-collection aspect of the trip should provide enough entertainment to justify the trip-- that or diversions of downtown Corpus.

Ed Lizard Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 unlikely I got an angry PM from someone after jokingly suggesting they might have damaged their rental car chasing in Veracruz. OK, I'll never comment on the environment around a chase car, rented, owned, borrowed, co-chasers, ever again. Just looked like high water there. Just a camera angle. Sorry.

Dude, you are starting to really bug me. I have tried very hard to defend you over the last few months. I am done. You're on your own, kid. Please stop dragging my threads OT-- including this one.

HurricaneJosh Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Back on topic (and I mean it, BACK ON TOPIC)... Cory and I will chase the thing as long as it's a coherent system and we'll collect data. If it's not a 'cane, though, I'm definitely not wasting the energy to shoot and edit video-- especially given that the core is going to come ashore at night. Even in a major, night footage is just tough. For a TS? Forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 More porno vids. I wonder if the rental company appreciated the water damage... On second reading, it comes off more insulting than I intended. I'm really not trying to cheese anyone off. I was meant as a joke, not an insult. Sorry. Edit to add- Last word on the matter, promise.

HurricaneJosh Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 The NHC's 36-hr position (1 am CDT Saturday) is literally within the Corpus Christi city limits. In fact, the point (27.8N 97.5W) is like 2.5 mi from our hotel. Talk about convenient! We can just set up the BASTARD/Kestrel in the parking lot and relax in the lobby while those 35-kt gusts pelt the building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you could also calibrate it against official stations, which should be plenty in CRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
