That's like a jump directly left! I think it would have to go directly west moreso than it did yesterday for that "jog". The NAM has the hots for Galveston for some reason!
I just called my mom at Valero. She doesn't work with production, but she said they haven't said much and that most of their refineries are going.
I saw an image last night of the oil rig placement in the gulf though. Rita was going through a big portion of them, so its hard to tell. I'll find the image.

Jackson Keller and West Avenue
Travis, I was just noticing that.
One thing that might lend credence to what it is saying is that as Rita weakens, the high pressure to its north can exert more of its will on it.
Well, it is farther north as well. The NAM isn't verifying from run to run as it was in the past. The GFS has been the better model for the past day or so.
Wait a minute....??? Flashlights need batteries?????I guess I'm screwed.
the 18 hours plot goes west again. Dude, the NAM just won't give up the turn.
Don't worry, knowing the ladies in this thread, their flashlights will never see the batteries.Wait a minute....??? Flashlights need batteries?????
You won't be the only who is screwed.
That is my HEB, it was $2.63 this morning, and I waited in a line on Wed. to get it at $2.47.
Yeah, I saw that too...bizarre...
Which means landing where?
Don't worry, knowing the ladies in this thread, their flashlights will never see the batteries.

Oh this is the best one yet...
Galveston...and then following the coast to make sure it also gets Matagorda Bay...
On behalf of SW and 2Blonde, our lips our sealed....Don't worry, knowing the ladies in this thread, their flashlights will never see the batteries.
You won't be the only who is screwed.
The track is wrong on this chart - for Rita anyway - because it was only a forcast when it was made. But as you can see, Rita is traveling through an oil producation area all the way to the coast. That can't be good for costs of gas.
I need SW's map! What page is it on again?

Here's a different one.
S y, Matagorda Bay is the next bay down the coast from Galveston Bay...Palacios, Port Lavaca...
Here's a different one.
Damnit, I gotta run...
Manny, WTF does NAM have that ridge doing??? Much more of that and it'll have Rita plowing into Laredo!

She's still packing 130 mph winds. The pressure is steady, but the eyewall is open.
I'm amazed this storm is holding up this well.
Is that a stalling on the 24hr plot? I can't detect a movement in either direction, just a weakening.
S y & SW, here's a google map link as well so you can zoom and go all over the place
Travis, the NAM may be picking up on the weakening of Rita. The ridge would be the stronger force and be able to build back if that were the case.
The situation is on the edge of a razor right now. Any one factor changes things, so its really hard to forcast. This is the kind of storm that gives forcasters fits.
I guess I am too late then. As usual. lol
The line at the pharmacy last night was insane ... and you should have seen Caitlin's face when she saw what everyone did to the Gucc-E-B (N. New Braunfels & Nacogdoches) ... no bread, no water...and no toilet paper...it seriously looked like a tornado went through it.
We had just had our water cooler bottles refilled...but that's an every other week thing...and Chris bought this lamp thingy that goes on batteries, because I think there might be ONE flashlight in my house.
I am worried about the gas situation, though...
