Well, I was going to toss my 2 cents in, but I see three pro mets have already said what I was going to better than I could. :-)

I like the part about the severe weather over Texas. That means rain. And we here in South Texas need that! But as for the rest of the forecast, I don't think so.

Not sure what the next two days have to do with it. The feauture we were speaking of is 9+ days out...and the upper level winds associated with it were 60 kts...and that is plenty of shear.

This is for real

(NOAA)
...TROPICAL WAVES...
TROPICAL WAVE IS CENTERED ALONG 32W S OF 9N MOVING W 10-15 KT.
THE WAVE IS LOW AMPLITUDE IN SCOPE BUT STILL PRESENTS A FAIRLY
WELL DEFINED SIGNATURE ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. SCATTERED MODERATE
TO ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS MOSTLY ALONG THE ITCZ FROM
3N-7N BETWEEN 30W-37W.

This just off the coast of Africa

Appears to have weakened a bit; also, shear is higher to it's west and appears to impacting Chanchu. Intensity down to 65KT and pressure up a bit.
