Tropical Storm Hermine has formed in the Bay of Campeche. The small system is slowly moving North at 8 mph. Widespread deep tropical moisture over the southwest Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche will combine with TS Hermine across the southwest Gulf of Mexico to increase the possibility of heavy rainfall over the lower Rio Grande Valley and deep south Texas Monday through Wednesday. Hermine is the eighth tropical storm of the 2010 season.

FReepers are slipping. 20 posts and not one reference to Harry Potter . . .
Must be a Holiday weekend.
Thanks for your local update. Please check back in when you can.
or maybe it’s because this storm is named Hermine. The Harry Potter character is Hermione Granger.
Looks like this one has Texas in her sites. Going to be a damp start to the week.
Good news—Hermine has picked up forward speed. Should reduce risk of torrential floods.
Nice radar link.
We had a couple of showers yesterday, nothing major.
Thank you for the heads up. Hope Hermine will be a much needed rain maker.
Thank you NN...looks like you’ve been busy the last few days and it doesn’t appear to be ending any time soon. :-)
May our Lord God bless you dear one!
Our sunshine just disappeared. Very dark back to the south east (duh).
Thanks - I found it on Twitter :)
I’m wondering when all the tourists are gonna wake up and decide to go home. Probably will all hit the store and leave at the same time :)
