It looks like the tracks of Rita have been shifted a little to the south. That is good news for Galveston/Houston. The area where they are now forecasting Rita to come ashore is less populated.

...Reconnaissance plane about to reach Rita...will determine if it is a hurricane... I'm surprised she's still a TS. It looks like she might not reach Cat 1 until she enters the gulf. I'd like to consider that reassuring, but Katrina did all of her intensification west of Key West.
