I was watching the radar loop last night and the outer band on this storm was north of Atlanta over to west of New Orleans. Just a series of nasty looking thunderstorm cells zipping along an arc in a counterclockwise direction. It is big enough and slow-moving enough to push a lot of water around.

It looks like it will be out in the Gulf for most of the week.

we’ve been getting some wind, some rain, and very high tides in the bays and bayous. the water in the bayou closest to me is easily 6″, maybe 12″, deeper than it was from the epic 100-year rain/flooding we had just recently.

In reply to Steve Bates. Elena came to mind because it was pulled East by a low pressure trough, but then got pushed West by a high pressure ridge that built in North of it. Of course, it was a Cat 3. This storm is still being held in check by wind shear from the northwest and dry air. So far we have light rains and almost no wind.

Houston Chronicle's Eric Berger makes it clear that you can read just about anything into Debby that you want to. It's increasingly looking as if it will not come to Texas, but when a storm is out there careening one way and another, stalling for hours at a time, I don't have confidence in anyone's forecast. Good luck with whatever you get.
