When I said it was too late for Texas I was more less drawing that conclusion from the past several years and the way the upper air patterns have changed during that time. One of the main things I have noticed is how these cool fronts seem to be aproaching our area earlier and earlier each year. Just this month I believe we have had 5 fronts pass through here and that is not the norm.If you go back the last few years I bet most of the systems that effected the Upper Texas Coast were from either the caribbean or gulf; not from systems crossing the entire atlantic. At this time of year there are too many fronts and troughs that come through for any long distant storms to make it.
