Perfect timing on the plane being in there..he is tightening up just like Humberto did....eyewall forming

[TeamPlayersBlue]

Rapid intensiication going on right now i think. Started a couple hours ago.

Found a tad stronger winds i think too

Suere is. Not often you see an eyewall like that for such a 'weak' storm. It's REALLY getting its act together. Still has a few more hours over water.

VDM pressure down to 999 mb

Would have been interesting to see what Bill could've become with another 24-48 hours over these warm gulf waters. Last few frames of IR certainly show an increased blow up of convection (during d-min at that) and he is gaining in size.

Yep at 62mph surface winds he was getting close. Radar presentation not to bad....

Closer view from CC.

Link to Matagorda live cam. Not streaming video but pictures updated every few seconds. Looks to be getting slammed.

Pretty tight pressure gradient all within about 50 miles of the center.
The high winds are only going to affect a narrow swath northeast of landfall.
Bill was beginning to pick up some moisture another 24 hours over water and he would have been a major PITA!

Just keep Bill far enough west of Houston until after 12:30pm. I'm still stuck at the airport in Chicago. Been here 19 hrs now.

Bill seems to be behaving himself. Should be inland in a ffew hours.

You should have road your bike!! 19hrs at Ohare...ugh I feel your pain!

Clear Lake/Houston getting our strongest bands of rain so far. Houston news is showing Seawall Blvd in Galveston. Very heavy rain and wind but the waves aren't breaking seawall...yet. Harris County Flood Warning System has a great website to track rainfall amounts countywide - http://www.harriscountyfws.org/

[TeamPlayersBlue]

Man this storm is really firing up some convection right now

[TexasF6]

Possible dualing, concentric eyewall-like feautures visble on radar!!! Just my Humble Opinion!!!!
