Honestly, as of right now, there is no data to indicate that Rita is going to go anywhere east of the TX/LA border. IF it stalls over the GOM there is a SMALL chance it could go east. But it should be stressed that it is a VERY small chance.

Agreed

The GOES out of the Gulf shows a North West Movement and that should put the eye in the Galveston Bay area.

I read in here early some said NO is in the path and was wondering what they were looking at?

Wouldn't this happen only if Rita was to track in a straight line? I'm a newb, love this site, but to this day I haven't seen a hurricane track in a straight line.
With the high over Texas moving to the west(that is what I'm seeing on WV) and the high over Florida. Doesn't that leave a funnel for Rita to slide into? Just an observation. It looks like the high over LA is being compressed and noving more to the north. I hope this is wrong.


On another note, we are getting the first rain bands here in Terrebonne Parish. Wind has picked up to bout 25mph with this band.
