Rain For Louisiana And Texas?
I don’t want to raise hopes too high, but Invest 93 which is currently in the Gulf has the potential to become a tropical storm, and it is headed for the Northwest corner of the Gulf.
We had some thunderstorms today and the radar was showing the storms moving in a the counter-clockwise motion associated with a tropical storm system off our coast.
Development is restricted by wind shear at the moment, but that is forecast to decline.
The ‘Big Easy’ could use some help with a swamp fire, and Texas is ready to take whatever it can get. Locally we are ready for this persistent high pressure that has been keeping the heat indexes in the triple digits, to finally go away.

Chances of rain for Houston are forecast nonzero but modest at best for the rest of the week, and as I look out the window, a very, very dry lawn looks back at me. All we can do is hope for the best.
I just looked at the satellite images for Invest 93-TD 13, and the moisture image shows the same light brown over East Texas that I’m used to seeing over the Sahara.
Northern Mexico and South ‘Texas are looking better, as far as humidity is concerned, but it goes into West Louisiana as currently forecast, I don’t see a lot of rain for Texas. It will probably be a repeat of what happened to that tropical storm that went in near Brownsvilles earlier – the rain will stop at the coastline.
