Manny --
What do you make of those two patches of low heat potential in the western Gulf? They seem to be directly in Rita's path and would knock her down if she went over either one.
You don't need to leave tonight. You just need to watch the news carefully over the next few days. The only thing that is going to determine where this storm goes is the movement of the high pressure system right over Houston right now.
Leaving right now is too early. You still have a good amount of time, just pay attention to the news.

What's the difference between a thunderstorm and a thundershower? The latest forcast on TWC said thundershowers for Friday.
Hey 2pac what's the name of the girl in your bouncing banner? hahah
I want to check her "weather" on the internet.
I am guessing a tstorm is thunder/lightning/higher wind, and a tshower is thunder, lighting, rain, but not high wind.
sexy big boobs
search for that.
ES,
I think they are likely to not allow her to strengthen into a cat 4 or above, but I really dont' think they'll weaken her. They surface is pretty warm, and as long as the storm is moving at a decent rate that will be enough to sustain her at a cat 3 status.
CNN or something just said they expect it to become Cat. 4 by tomorrow.
Correction, it was MSNBC I think.

Not a Cat 4 no but a Cat 3 is very likely.
Im calling a cat 4 at landfall.. (We need Rita Vbookie)
The sunspot activity will compensate for any water temp problems ...
Damn this thing is starting to freak me out. My mother can't find a hotel room, she even asked motels in lockhart. Turns out hotels are booked all the way to dallas. My dad can't stay or drive away with her cuz of his job, he has to stay in the city. I hope this ing hurricane loses power.
I hope it does too CBF.
Jennifer Broom was just on the news pimping the BAMM model which is HORRIBLE with strong hurricanes. I hate her so damn much.
When was the last time we've had a hurricane season like this one? Or are they all completely different. I just read how they're almost sure they will run out of storm names soon...I don't remember that ever happening.
The last time was in the 30s. We had a pretty active season a few years ago, but all of the storms stayed out in the Atlantic. This is easily the worst hurricane season in American history. Katrina alone made sure of that.
The last few frames show a great eye. Let the intensification begin.
the most important thing to watch over the next 24 hours is how far north or south she goes. The further south, and of course you increase the chance of a South Texas landfall.
We'll see.
hey manny whats a good site to check out the latest radar or whatever its called
What happens is when the eye closes off, the 'vacuum' can run without a leak. You the storms fuel the lower preassure which then fuels the storms and you have yourself a hurricane. As long as the ocean stays warm enough to support those storms, the preassure won't rise and the system will function.
I just got an e-mail bulletin from CNN that says Cat#4 by 2 P.M. tomorrow eastern time. It looks like the most likely spot of landfall at the moment is matagorda bay. Still a long way off though.
