One year I saw one come in around La., rake the coast all the way to florida and then make its way back to La. before going inland.
Slowing movement, not good to stay on track.
I just don’t want another surprise like Claudette a couple of years ago. She was supposed to well north and decided to take a left turn as she was passing by.
Tornado warning. One spotted and headed toward Port Isabel (near SPI)

We occasionally get hit hard but.... I don’t know what it is but most of the time bad weather skirts us.
A few more of these wobbles to the north and the eye mite
miss Brownsville (to the north),,,
Last time Dolly tracked Due North over 30 min. then
back to NE...
Keep your head down!
Not good.
Most of the computer models are still tracking south of Brownsville, but it seems a few more of them have shifted north.
ah
Update says you’re getting wet. That’s a good thing ? :)
Buoys up mid way to CC reading about the same as yours.
It’s misting. We had a lot of rain a couple of weeks ago. Made the drought up.
Good, no more please.
It was raining when I left Victoria mid afternoon. Did you drive through any?
Watch her closely. She could take the coastal route.
Sure bears watchin’,,,
Now back to NW...
Not really. I caught some rain in San Benito but that was it. From SA to CC, I did catch occasional gusts though.
