"Another strange thought with this. Maybe that band over the gulf does not follow Fay, but is its one entity. Amazingly the 48 hour eta has low pressure over the west central gulf, right where the ghost of Edouard would have been. The moral of the story is that some tough forecasts lay ahead for Texas and Louisiana, and the issue of where that moisture goes in relation to the trof that comes by to its north next week will also have to be resolved."

Meanwhile here in Spring, TX (north suburb of Houston) a very tropical day, frequent bands of heavy showers moving through with breaks of sun in between. The more sun we get though will likely mean more rain later as the atmosphere has a better chance to warm up. Lots of moisture downstream,so whether something else tries to spin up or it all just gets pulled over us around Fay's circulation it looks like a wet couple of days for SE Texas. Also looks like a new Tornado watch is coming up for our area.
