A better question is what's up with Katia? The lastest model runs show a W motion followed by a rapid run to the N. I realize currently there is a major ridge blocking her to the W, but a high seems to be building in behind her to the NE. Just wondering how close she'll get to the east coast before that turn occurs. Katia is really elongated along the N/S axis, with almost no outflow on the SE and keeps toying with become a really hurricane.

I'm not even going to guess on TD#13... it is in an messy environment that makes no sense, however the whole gulf is full of moisture, so hopefully some of that makes it to TX they need it badly.
