Texas can have this storm. I think they are way better prepared to endure a beast like that. We already had ours.
Thats enough for a season.

This latest GFS run sends Ike slamming into Texas, keeping
it in the south central gulf prior to that time.
Texas got Dolly cat.2, Eduoard TS. So it has been quite active there
this year. Anyway, the latest GFS is ominous for Texas. I was suspecting
this further and further west shift in the models that has now taken place. The earlier models in 5 day forecasts often overestimate troughs
and underestimate ridges, at least when you are dealing with a Gulf
storm, but they're exceptions to this rule.

I know how you feel Ed but unfortunately the models have been trending to the west.

They eye would be right over my town in that frame.
Man oh man, I'm not liking this new trend at all.
We have been lucky alot her to not have a major landfall in decades, I guess it might be our time. Glad I got renters insurance while Gustav was over Cuba. My apartment is packed with high tech gear.

I believe the trough will be stronger and move quicker.

Technically, Central Texas does have quite a number of inhabitants.
What y'all are discussing though is the Central Texas Coast ... not central Texas, where Austin is.
When Hurricane Rita was forecast to hit the Central Texas Coast, 1.1 million people were ordered to evacuate in Texas.

Yes Ed, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but there has been a pronounced west
trend in the model runs, and considering the synoptics of that bridging ridge,
GFS may be onto a more synoptically reasonable path- bad news for Texas.
