EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DISCUSSION

...AREAS OF HVY RAIN APPEAR LIKELY ACROSS SE TX CENTERED ON THE CNTRL TX GULF COAST. RAIN RATES SHOULD BE HEAVIEST ON TUES AS MDLS BRING THE SYSTEM INTO THE TX COAST AND ANY DIURNAL HEATING ENHANCES DEVELOPMENT.
WIDESPREAD 1-3 INCH RNFL AMTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THIS REGION WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS. THIS MAY RESULT IN SOME RUNOFF PROBLEMS GIVEN THE RELATIVELY LOW FFG VALUES IN THE AREA FROM HOUSTON TO VICTORIA.

Worst for last [Re: danielw]

I apologize for the length of the two above posts. Prediction Centers aren't usually known for short forecasts. Unless the sky is clear.

Last night I saw mention of a possible tropical wave moving into the Cay Sal Bank area of the Bahamas nearing this week's end. The following reinforces that forecast.

EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD
207 PM EDT MON JUL 24 2006

VALID 12Z THU JUL 27 2006 - 12Z MON JUL 31 2006

...THE CANADIAN MODEL IS AN OUTLIER WITH THE TROPICAL SYSTEM THAT IT BRINGS INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. OTHER MODELS STILL SEEM TO SHOW A PATTERN THAT ALLOWS FOR YESTERDAYS HPC/TPC COORDINATED FORECAST OF A TROPICAL WAVE TRACKING WESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO... AS DEPICTED IN THE UPDATED PRELIMINARY FORECAST FOR TODAY.

Some model support now [Re: danielw]
      #68371 - Tue Jul 25 2006 11:17 AM

0Z CMC still bullish on this wave but more to west now & brushing E coast of Fl. Yesterdays 12Z & todays 0Z
MM5 is picking up on it as well & is similiar to the 06Z GFS keeping it over the Bahamas & outer edge of Fl E coast. This is with the 850 vorticity. Some consistency now. NOGAPS shows nothing & UKMET only goes to 48 hrs.
