Re: Tropical Storm Don Landfall Tonight North of Brownsville and 91L

Unfortunately the recorded radar images stopped around 7:30, but amazingly most of the rain "went poof", and dried out quickly. I haven't seen that with a tropical storm on radar before, where it happened so quickly after approaching the land. The center hasn't even made landfall yet, (it is very close, you can see it on the Corpus Radar (Looks like they switched to clear air mode to pick up the noise).


Unfortunately for rain, Don was a bust for all but Baffin Bay southward to Mexico, even then it didn't last all too terribly long.
