Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect from the extreme southwest Louisiana Coast to High Island, TX, for an expected tropical storm landfall very early Thursday morning. The system is currently a tropical depression, with maximum sustained winds of 30 knots, but is expected to intensify into a weak tropical cyclone before landfall. The NHC believes that TD-9 may already be of tropical storm status, but will know for sure when Reconnaissance Aircraft arrives in the next hour. Shown below is the official NHC forecast track as of 10:00 CDT:

The satellite presentation looks like what you'd expect for a tropical depression/weak tropical storm, although the convection around the center is quite intense. The NHC noted weak banding structure on Houston and Corpus Christi radar this morning in the NW and SE quadrants of the storm, indicating that the system was becoming better organized. The main threats from this storm will be heavy rain (especially if the storm stalls out and is not "picked up" by the westerlies), gusty winds, choppy seas, and even tornadoes in the right-front quadrant near and after landfall. Stay tuned for updates!

Cool stuff
Hey Guys, I actually commented about this b4 Reed did!!!!!! (on the other most recent blog about Joost).
Peace every1
;)
I can't belive that Erick Killed himself :(
was he depressed or something?
Caleb who's Erick?
Eric Nguyen was a well-known and talented storm chaser and photographer, who just passed away at the young age of 29.
Caleb, he was probably depressed about something, or suffering from depression, but we may never know for sure as his family & friends will probably desire privacy.
TD9 = TS Humberto now
Brrrrr!
Nobody in Alberta over 10C(51F) at 1pm local.
Hard frost tonight and snow in Saskatchewan?
Yuck
I hope he wasn't depressed over anything about weather, he could have possibly seen people lose their lives because of hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes etc. but I guess we'll never know.
God bless his family.
Hey guys, check out this radar image of some storms/rain in MT/WY. It looks like a rainbow!
