Invest 91L
The National Hurricane Center designated a low pressure area on the Yucatan Peninsula Invest 91L on Saturday.
Today the area moved over the Gulf of Mexico and was investigated by a Hurricane Hunter mission this evening. Currently it has 80% chance of becoming a tropical system in the next two days as it moves northwestward across the Gulf.
If the computer models are correct, this will be a rain event for East Texas which is still saturated from its last rain event.

Flag Day
Adopted as the flag of the United States of America by the Flag Resolution of 1777 enacted on 14 June, 1777.
The flag was first flown from Fort Stanwix, on the site of the present city of Rome, New York, on August 3, 1777. It was first under fire three days later in the Battle of Oriskany, August 6, 1777.
An official flag has a rise to run ratio of 1 to 1.9 [the flag should be 1.9 times as long as it is high] with the canton [the dark blue part] that rises over the top seven stripes with a run of 40% of the flag’s run.
The only time you will see a “correct” US Flag is if you see the official colors of a military unit. Most flags are 3’X5′ or 4’X6′ instead of 3’X5.7′ or 4’X7.6′.
Frances Bellamy, the Baptist minister and socialist who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance was from Rome, New York.
