Joe Bastardi just changed his tune from a "failure in the European model," to "I'm keeping an eye on the Western part of the Gulf of Mexico next week."

Some experts are beginning to sit up and take notice of the potential.

We really do need rain, Freya.  Mid to upper 90's and no rain for a month.  Even though I water my plants every night, they're wilted by the afternoon.  Just another Texas summer.

I will say that I believe the day isn't too far off where we'll be able to accurately predict hurricanes weeks ahead of time.  Maybe in ten years, or so.

We must be getting all your rain.  It's been a weird year here so far for weather.  Our Spring lasted much longer than usual and we've had a ton of rain including about 2 weeks in May where it was pretty much overcast and rainy all the time.  And, our normal late afternoon showers are coming in the early afternoon.

In San Antonio this afternoon 3 drops hit my windshield. That's it. A few pop-ups on radar but scattered and won't do any good. I'm worried for the critters and the trees. Way too hot way too early.

I understand that.  But, I hate serious cold.  We have nice winters here.  Regularly below freezing, but snow is rare.  It's a big event when it does snow.

Wow! You are loved! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tell me what’s your secret? I guess I gotta leave my state. The only real men here (from this site) are very happily married.

But I guess people can say on the other hand, comment about women in my state....I don’t think it will be too flattering

Wow. I'm most comfortable at 60-65, but if I am outside working, between 40 and 55 is just about right.

For me, 80 is getting hot.

The guy in the original video has also noted the models went from Cat 3 to *poof*.

"An area of disturbed weather in the western Caribbean Sea may cause flooding problems along its path to the Gulf of Mexico despite a small chance to organize into a weak tropical system this weekend.

A broad area of drenching showers and strong thunderstorms is forecast to drift northwestward from the western Caribbean to the western Gulf of Mexico over the next five to seven days.

Development seems unlikely over the next few days and may not occur at all, despite sufficiently warm waters, according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski."     :th_10444:
