OK, Here we go again! Tropical Storm Edouard is headed our way and the news is projecting that because of the intensity of the storm when it hits those Gulf Of Mexico warm waters that it will be a hurricane before its over. Again, San Antonio is in the path after it makes landfall on the Galveston, TX coast and heads over land toward us. I added the projection of what the news thinks its path will be. Of course Chris is gone for this one. However, from what I understand is that this is projected to be a bad hurricane season for Texas. Fun for us. I put a small blurb of what the local newspaper put out this morning.
A storm that appeared as a blip on the Gulf Coast radar late last week could reach hurricane strength before it bears down, possibly on the southeast Texas coast, by Tuesday morning.
Tropical Storm Edouard may intensify into a Category 1 hurricane by the time it makes landfall, meteorologists said.
The fast-building storm leaves residents and emergency officials little time to prepare for the high winds and heavy rainfall
The storm's winds at landfall are much harder to project. On Sunday the system developed from a center of low pressure into a 50 mph tropical storm, and some computer models forecast Edouard to become a weak hurricane before landfall.
Hurricane forecasters typically have trouble projecting when hurricanes over the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters will rapidly intensify, as Hurricane Humberto did last year before striking Texas!
