While at this time there is NOT a threat of a named tropical system forming I am watching with interest a large "blob" of moisture over the western Gulf of Mexico. A serious flood threat looks to be in the offing for Texas....again! First off, upper level winds still appear to be too strong to allow a tropical storm develop. Here's what is going on...an upper level storm over Texas is pulling gulf moisture from the southern and western gulf to the north. This air is very moist. Over the next few days this moisture will continue to funnel to the north and I think it will eventually over spread our area on Friday. I am expecting the wet air mass to hang around through the weekend. Extremely high humidity will over our area will kick off downpours with some isolated thunderstorms. Stay tuned, depending on how weather systems move we could be in for some locally heavy rainfall Friday through the weekend.
