Sup Rainband? I agree with what you're saying. But it's enhanced by the excitement of the season starting in about 2:20. Funny you should mention the unreliability of the models way out. I'm not big on the GFS anyway because of its known biases, but on the 372 hour loop, it wants to develop 2 gulf storms in some capacity. The first comes up from the south of a stalled out frontal boundary along the GC. It pulses and hits southern LA, moves back slightly off shore and pulses up around Mobile Bay before slowing heading off into GA. A few days later, an apparently stronger storm develops a couple hundred miles east of the TX Coast and comes into Central LA.

Like you, I'll believe it when I see it. But now that the season is just about here, you have to watch the models to see their tendencies. I will believe when I see it too..

Any new news on this for Monday? Heard JB still showing it to be developing - maybe the rain for the Gulf Coast area?

Per the latest discussion on this system, it is drifting NW. Is it expected to get pulled eastward sometime soon?

Not much. GFS/ECMWF still are hinting at low pressure off the S TX coast after 120 hours. I only saw the presentations on the streaming videos but have not yet looked at the models themselves. Apparently GFS ultimately fees the gulf will be unstable, but I don't know the day fix since I haven't framed through today's 00z or 12z runs yet. In any event, I think we'll see more rain than we have in a while from a variety of sources (whether frontal, tropical or whatever).

Let me see if I can capture some images from the model runs. Hang tight:

GFS 06z 6/2/03 Run:

[img]c:\1008.bmp[/img]

I can e-mail it to you if you want, but essentially around the 9th, GFS puts a 1008 mb Low off the LA Coast. Practically every day after Wed of this week (for the 372 hour period) has between a .01 and 2.5" rainfall over my area.

ECMWF 12z puts a 1006 mb low (almost appears nontropical, would have to research) over S TX and then develops it inland as a 1004 mb low over the Arklatex region. In any event, the European Model does show rain for east TX in that time frame.

Just my casual observation.
