hmmm...looks like we are about to get the first hurricane TS in the gulf...

[CosmicCowboy]

It's forming up now and could jump the Yucatan this weekend.

[CubanMustGo]

Hopefully if it does, it goes to ground in coastal Mexican mountains or deep south Tx where there's little besides some cattle to get wet. Do NOT need this to go screw up the BP situation even more.

Best scenario is that it hits around Port Mansfield as a wet tropical storm and we get some much needed rain out of it.

[CosmicCowboy]

Looking likely to hit Texas somewhere. Current rough estimate somewhere between Brownsville and Corpus Wednesday/Thursday.

I'm sorry for all the farmers that have corn/milo near the coast ready to harvest that will get ruined but we sure need the rain in Central Texas.

[thispego]

is this going to fuck up my plans for july1-july8 in rockport?

[manufan10]

From the looks of it, it is heading straight for me. :depressed

[The Reckoning]

pego, rockport isnt between corpus and brownsville

[boutons_deux]

SA chance of t-storm ALL week!

http://weather.mysanantonio.com/US/TX/San_Antonio.html


Probably nothing damaging for TX or the BP disaster.

Serious question for Victoria boys...I'm on call when this thing is projected to hit and Victoria is imy region. If this thing hits in some way in the area what are the chances that Victoria gets massive flooding/gets effected? Do you all freak out like San Antonians or do you just deal with it?

I can deal with San Antonio possibly freaking out about flooding but Victoria? Since it's a long holiday for our office (30th-5th) it's all in my hands if there are any problems. I just want to be prepared for any foreseable disasters.

the only problem victoria has ever experienced with hurricanes is high winds. the guadalupe goes through victoria but that only floods when we get a shit load of rain to the north of us

Thank ya very much. I guess I shouldn't worry too much then.

i wouldnt worry AT ALL if i were you

[Drachen]

There are some pretty heavy looking storms in the oil spill area according to weather.com's radar map. Also, I can't seem to find the hurricane on said map. where is it?

[ashbeeigh]

You don't know these foster parents. They call when a kid is constipared.

I have been reading that it might get up to a Category 2 hurricane. In 2008, we got hit by Hurricane Dolly, and it was a Category 1 hurricane. Our city was without electricity for 4 days, and some areas went without electricity for a week. No, it wasn't a Katrina, but it did do some damage.

[manufan10]

In my area, we will start seeing showers this afternoon, but won't get a strong wind/rain combination until tomorrow night.

what podunk town do you live in that gets detroyed by a category 1? :lol

[thispego]

how many kids do you have in victoria?

[manufan10]

what podunk town do you live in that gets detroyed by a category 1? :lol

:rolleyes

I didn't say we got "destroyed." I said it caused some damage.

[thispego]

you said you were without elec for 4 days and other parts for a week? thats some weak ass shit for a category 1

[ashbeeigh]

how many kids do you have in victoria?

At the team meeting today I heard 47 based in the Victoria office (which encompasses the whole area...Victoria county, dewitt county, calhoun county goliad county and even gonzales county). We have somewhere between 150-175 in the SA office.

[manufan10]

you said you were without elec for 4 days and other parts for a week? thats some weak ass shit for a category 1

Without electricity does not equal "destroyed." There was plenty of factors of not getting the electricty turned on. Some "weak ass shit" can't be helped.

so, again, what podunk town do you live in that would let a category 1 hurricane keep them without electricity for 4 days?


"plenty of factors" = being a podunk, shitty town?

[MannyIsGod]

Where is WeatherManny?

In the air and now on a train. NHC still has it coming ashore in Northern Mexico, not South Texas. 3 day forcasts are good within a couple hundred miles so its obviously still easily likely to go into the Valley or deep south Texas but I would be pretty surprised to see it near Corpus.

[thispego]

is this going to fuck up my plans for july1-july8 in rockport?

[MannyIsGod]

Probably not. If it does hit there, just go surfing point break style.

[marini martini]

It's forming up now and could jump the Yucatan this weekend.


Hey, when did Manny die, and who made you god???:lmao

[JudynTX]

I just want to know if SA is going to get some rain?

[thispego]

probably not. If it does hit there, just go surfing point break style.

rofl. F surfing, i want to go fishing. There's really no surfing to be done in rockport anyways

[marini martini]

[mrsmaalox]

Oh and San Antonio freaks out about floods? In the almost 7 years I've been here I've only seen freak outs about snow; it's pretty funny really :lol

[The Reckoning]

actually a tropical storm coming through would only help fishing. pego, you might actually catch something more than hardhead in rockport because that's all that's ever there.

[MannyIsGod]

Its fucking true. I've caught more quality fish in the fucking canal for the boats behind my boys bayhouse than I have in the fucking bay there.

[Sec24Row7]

Looks great!

We need to rain to fill up tanks.

[ashbeeigh]

Oh and San Antonio freaks out about floods? In the almost 7 years I've been here I've only seen freak outs about snow; it's pretty funny really :lol

Oh just wait. If we get the full force (like it comes in anywhere just a bit north of Brownsville to Corpus) it wil lbe on the news 24/7.

[thispego]

true, a little rain would help, but a lot of rain would keep us out of the water altogether. I fuckin hate hardheads

[thispego]

thanks for the invite manny

[The Reckoning]

well when you have storms coming in from the gulf, the fish usually follow the currents all the way into the bay. if the currents are strong and the rain isn't too bad, you should have a hell of a fishing trip.

Its looking more & more like Alex is going to make landfall somewhere in a window 100 miles North & South of Port Isabel - and will have a MAJOR impact on our weather here in South Texas during the second half of this week

[MavDynasty]

2012 is near...

[manufan10]

One of those aforementioned northward bulges in the upper winds, or ridges aloft, is forecast to become established over the Central Plains this week. Given this ridge is strong enough, it should force Alex's center to bend toward the west-northwest, landfalling somewhere near the Rio Grande Valley.

That said, north and east of the center is where the most severe impact is expected with Alex, so Deep South Texas would still take a hard hit even in a Mexican landfall scenario.

[Das Texan]

this storm is going to end up being a *yawn* event for san antonio.

[CosmicCowboy]

I dunno. It hasn't veered West yet and is still headed straight for Brownsville. I could see us getting a couple inches in SA but not the floods TV/radio is talking about.

[CosmicCowboy]

Radar time lapse just updated. A little wobble to the West in the last hour.

As long as you aren't fishing. The freshwater dump will fuck up the fishing for awhile.

thats all im going to be doing. it shouldnt rain that much in rockport itself, right?>

[CosmicCowboy]

It's not the rain that actually falls in Rockport that is the problem. It's the runoff from the creeks/streams. It's been raining down there all day.

[MannyIsGod]

No way it goes north of the border or even very close to it. Watching wobbles is worthless; Hurricane motion is set over hours not single frames.

[CosmicCowboy]

We should be getting our first band of rain here in an hour or two.

do you have any suggestions ?

[CosmicCowboy]

No way it goes north of the border or even very close to it. Watching wobbles is worthless; Hurricane motion is set over hours not single frames.

This isn't a wobble. This is the pressure ridge they have been predicting finally starting to effect the hurricane. It's turned almost due West in the last 1 1/2 hours.

[CosmicCowboy]

do you have any suggestions ?

1) Take a lot of beer.
2) Sharky's

[to21]

Hang out at the Pickled Pelican...there's always dirty whores that come into that bar.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes, its heading west. Thats why there's no shot of it even approaching Brownsville. If Brownsville even sees winds above 45mph (not gusts - winds) I would be very surprised.

You will probably still be able to catch redfish and/or drum. Water will probably be murky if they get the rain they are expecting. You might want to cast net some mullet and use cut bait.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty much. Radar estimates in some spots are around 11 inches.

that'll work, do i need to fish deeper than usual?

naaaa...they should still be fairly shallow on the high tide and work your drains on a falling tide.

Got rain!

[CosmicCowboy]

Already got 2" at the ranch. Perfect timing! my milo and peredovic sunflowers for dove season will be set for moisture and the 10 acres we sprigged in coastal last spring will get a solid cover before fall. It was really starting to get dry.

[manufan10]

It's been raining nonstop for awhile now.. Rain has been on/off all day. Nothing too serious yet. Flooding in some areas, but really not too bad. There's still time though. Been under tornado warnings for much of the afternoon.

As far as I know, atleast in McAllen, nothing significant. My friend was sent back to work today after the propert owner'd originally made plans to close up shop for the day.

Filter the Quaker State out and resell it?

Sure wasn't "nothing" for me...We got 4" of slow rain over several days at the ranch which was desperately needed.
