Here's the deal. We've got some turning in the Western Caribbean. We've got some convection that fired off of South America in a region of slightly lower pressure. We have a tropical wave that juiced that area up yesterday. So what's gonna happen? Yesterday I was going back and forth thinking that it probably wouldn't amount to much. The original key was for the TUTT to stretch out, split, and narrow. Shear would be minimized and pattern reversal dictates that a ridge should build in its place. So one of the things that had to happen for development has. Where do we go from there?
My take: Wave crosses the Yucatan and gets into the Southern Gulf/Bay of Campeche on Monday. It spins up something between a tropical surge and high-end tropical storm (no greater than 70mph). Storm comes in somewhere between LA/TX Border and NE Mexico. Best shot is between Brownsville and Port O'Connor. Eastern Texas gets some much needed rainfall with some bands wrapping around the north and east side bringing rainfall to points higher up the coast.
Caveat: Should the system take a more northerly track and affect somewhere between Port O'Connor and South Central Louisiana (e.g. St. Mary or Iberia Parishes), the system could be much stronger but probably not more than at Cat-2 at worst.

I know what you mean Air Force Met. I'm tired of watering the grass. I have a good feeling we'll get some rain from this IF it develops.

"System" will not even make the gulf and nothing will reform. It will definately not make it here to SE Texas, we are not due for rain until October.

I say.....
Once it gets under the western end of Cuba, the system will begin developing. It will cross just over the NE corner of the Yucantan and emerge into the Gulf. By day 2 in the Gulf, we'll have a TS around 65mph and she will turn more toward the NW. By day 3, we'll have a weak hurricane around 74 - 80mph and it will make landfall between Galveston and Lake Charles.
This is just a simple guess as I'm not basing it on anything at all
