T.S. Don heading for Texas!!

Posted by Paul Dellegatto under Daily updates

The long lasting tropical wave that we have followed for the past five days has developed to the point that it is has been named the fourth tropical system of the season in the Atlantic basin. Satellite presentation along with recon data and weather radar from Cancun continue to show organization. The pressure field is a bit elongated, but this is not unusual  from a storm in its early formative stages. “DON” will not be a threat to Florida, but will likely impact the coast of Texas by Friday night. As always, the intensification forecast is not clear cut. Despite no obvious obstacles for intensification, none of the computer models indicate significant intensification. Texas is in the midst of a long and extreme drought, so if “Don” makes landfall as a tropical storm it may be a blessing for the state. We will watch for any signs of intensification before landfall.
