It is reported that there is a hurricane in Texas, headed for Houston

Nowcast as of 11:50 am CDT on August 6, 2008
Now
Moderate to heavy rain...associated with the remnants of Edouard...
will continue to affect areas north and west of a San Saba to
Meridian...to Graham line through 2 PM. Rainfall amounts of 2 to over
6 inches have occurred over northern Mills....much of Hamilton and
southern Comanche counties during the last 12 hours. Additional
rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected through 2 PM. Runoff
from the heavy rain will cause flooding of creeks...streams...
intersections...and low spots in the Road. Do not drive your vehicle
into areas where water covers the Road to unknown depths. Do not drive
around barricades. Turn around dont drown. A band of showers east of a
Sulphur Springs to Crockett line will continue to move northeast into
East Texas. Rainfall will generally be less than 1/2 inch as these
showers move northeast at 20 mph. Scattered showers and maybe a few
thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon across North
Texas. By 4 PM...temperatures will climb into the lower to mid 80s
near the rain areas...and lower to mid 90s elsewhere. Winds may gust
to around 30 mph near the precipitation areas.

Delays in Dallas will only be for American Airlines. Seems they look
for any excuse to delay or cancel their flights. Worst on-time record
of all the airlines by a wide margin. On the other hand, Southwest
also flies out of Dallas and has the third best on-time record of all
the airlines. I guess that must be due to the 12 miles between the
two Dallas airports having a big effect on the weather. You would
think the records would be reversed since Southwest must fly out of a
very constricted airport with shorter runways and no crosswind
alternate runways.
The tropical storm was a total NON-EVENT across the state including in
the Houston / Galveston area. A bit of rain with winds not much
higher than a normal thunderstorm. The only effect thus far on Dallas
has been a nice breeze with slightly lower temperatures and higher
humidity. Couple of areas have reported light rain but we had more
than that a week ago.

Yes, I heard from some people who want to fly across the state to attend the
meeting. The airport says 'iffy' travel conditions - maybe more for small
aircraft than large.
Offshore the depression was only 50 mph - but I think it is anticipated to
gain in force as it crosses the TX coastline. They seem to be guessing it
hour-by-hour.

Off-shore storms like hurricanes and tropical depressions LOSE force
when they cross the coastline and go over land. Duh! Predicted winds
today in Dallas are 10-20 mph. Predicted winds in Lubbock are 10-15 mph.
Thunderstorms in the afternoon in Dallas may cause some minor delays.
Donna Alarie shouldn't have any problems arriving today.

Its the BRAIN! This time he contradicts me, the nice newscaster people on
the weather channel yesterday, and also NOAA, the national weather people. I
am sure that hurricanes lose force over land, but they pick up force and
moisture in coastal areas because of shelving and so on, then lose it - but
how soon?

I hope no-one has any trouble! - but NOAA does offer a couple of hazardous
warnings for Dallas:- The first is NOW, the second the rest of the day.
Personally 3-to-5 inches of water and 30mph wind gusts sounds like it might
be problematic for lighter aircraft:
.NOW...
AN AREA OF HEAVY RAIN...ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF EDOUARD...

THROUGH 11 AM. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO OVER 5 INCHES HAS FALLEN IN

COVERED ROADS.
A BAND OF RAIN FROM EAST OF CENTERVILLE TO SOUTH OF QUITMAN

Dallas right now 12:45pm ET--No advisories in effect. It is always a
