Tropical depression One headed for gulf

Texas is coned. Might not amount to much this early in the year, but good to get prepared.

Normally I would shrug off a June TD. But this year has been unusually hot.

Actually it has been a cool year overall in DFW. Only June has been on the warm side.

Our high yesterday was 113 and we didn't go below 100 all night. 114 today with humidity from the Baja/Pacific ocean swooping up creating all that activity in the SW. Still no rain here since March. I heat stoke out when it goes beyond 115. Nasty stuff. Very thankful for electricity & AC. Some areas have already had power losses.

 

Hope everyone stays safe.

Now TS Alex and expected to be cat 1 after it reaches the Gulf.

[Christy]

Please stay safe everyone in that area and let us know you are ok once Alex has passed.

 

((((hugs))))

The discussion this morning said that Alex has become more organized over Belize. Good possibility of becoming a major hurricane and the models can't agree on whether he is going to Mexico or up the coast possibly as far as LA.

 

Need to be ready folks.

While the track forecast for Alex today through Monday is fairly well-assured, the longer range forecast has become highly uncertain. An increasing number of our reliable models are now indicating Alex may take a more northerly track beginning on Tuesday, with possible landfall on the Texas coast near Galveston on Friday (according to the 8am run of the GFS model) or into western Louisiana on Wednesday (the 8am run of the Canadian model.) The key question remains how Alex will react to the trough of low pressure expected to swing down over the Eastern U.S. on Monday and Tuesday.
