Most computer models are trying to form something in the Central/Western Gulf in the next 3-4 days. The Euro. takes the system southwestward down off the Texas coast. The GFS forms it off the LA. Coast south of LAF while VIPIR is the most aggressive bringing a TD/TS slowly northward into So. LA. just to our west keeping us on the "wet side" of whatever forms. As I have mentioned before...hard to tell where "it" is going when we don't yet know where "it" is ! Bottom line...we have the potential of seeing heavy/excessive (5-10"+) rainfall beginning on Thursday lasting into/thru Saturday. Some past stalled/slow moving tropical storms (Danny-Mobile, Allison-Houston) produced 30-40"+ causing widespread significant flooding. It truly is time to pay attention as we say goodbye to August and welcome to September, our historically most active hurricane month. Stay tuned!
In the short term, Wednesday should be our final dry day for a while. The smoke from the marsh fire may still be around, but increasing winds and rains on Thursday will put an end to that. Several strong cold fronts are coming as we get beyond the next 7-10 days. C'mon October!
