Folks, I think we have a hurricane. An eye is clearly visible on Houston Radar. And if it's not yet it's extremley close.
The storm doesn't seem to be moving much at all. Humberto kinda just popped up outta nowhere. I think that's kinda the
theme for the season.




Well we have an open eye to the south of center of the low... but were about to confirm this with recon which is not that far off... At 04:37:00Z (last observation), the observation was 50 miles (80 km) to the SSE (166°) from Beaumont, TX. Something kinda strange... parts of the HDOB data seems missing/messed up... but there still tracking inward.... data started to mess up after they flew through first feedband near TX/LA at 6,000ft.
