Re: Dean And Erin

New advisory for Erin says that the center may be reforming further north under the main convection and watches/warnings will probably need to extended northward to include the Houston/Galveston area. That has been my thinking all along.




All the more reason why it's so important for us not to focus on the single line track.... (just like the mets have been telling us for ages!)

This is especially true since, as appears to be the case with Erin, areas north of the center (i.e., Houston, Beaumont) may see most of the rain.

When I see an image like this --




-- I try hard to put aside the idea of tracking a LLC center and instead just see a storm headed toward the Texas coast.... For me at least, it helps put it in perspective.
