Don's dealing with the dry air still at this hour, later today probably will either be a good shot for more development, or Don will likely stay weak the entire run, which is preferred. It would give portions of Texas some much needed rain, but the small size will limit it to only a portion of Texas, while teasing others with the promise. But I'm sure you all there will take what you can get.
So as it stands now, it looks like Don will likely just be a rain maker, with the wise warning to still keep an eye on this one closely as the small size means if it were to hit an area of very favorable conditions, it could blow up quickly. So make sure to have plans in case hurricane watches/warnings are made later. Read the Hurricane Center's discussion for more detail on that.
Those in the watch area should know that the hurricane center fully updates Every 6 hours, which includes (Times CST) 5AM, 10AM, 5PM, 10PM, and also issues intermediate advisories when there are watches/warnings up at 7AM, 1PM, 7PM, and 1AM. If a very rapid change were to occur they will issue a special statement (Usually after recon findings), these are rare, but could happen anytime. So it is very highly recommended you check the official updates during the day and evening , and you can schedule checks around those times.
