I thought those things kept on going. They were their own weathermaker.
I can't imagine a high pressure system strong enough to push this baby around.
I know - I about fell over when I heard him say this!! There is a big bubble up there but ..sheesh! We live right on the edge of the 100 yr flood plot, about 3 street up from a creek that become a raging torrent with in medium to high rain fall ~
Actually it's the high over northeast Texas, now moving east, that has kept the storm from turning north, and dealing another blow to Huey Longville. So Texas takes a hit instead. We just don't know where, because the movement of that high pressure area is difficult to predict. It's likely it will split and Rita will charge up the seam.
