Tropical Storm Hermine has formed in the Bay of Campeche. The small system is slowly moving North at 8 mph. Widespread deep tropical moisture over the southwest Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche will combine with TS Hermine across the southwest Gulf of Mexico to increase the possibility of heavy rainfall over the lower Rio Grande Valley and deep south Texas Monday through Wednesday. Hermine is the eighth tropical storm of the 2010 season.

Yee-HaH! Bring on the rain ... my grass thinks that Obama has outlawed water ...

[NautiNurse]

You didn’t miss anything. This system popped up late last night.

[NautiNurse]

Rain is what this storm shall produce. If it continues to creep along, it will be a lot of rain.

[NautiNurse]

Very punny!

This is still just looking like another average hurricane season. I guess if the gloom and doomers who have been guessing everey season since Katrina is going to be Armegeddon keep doing so eventually they will be right.

[NautiNurse]

I don’t pay attention to pre-season prognostications. Those forecasts are less reliable than predicting the NCAA basketball champions before the first game is played.

Nauti, thank you very much. We're finishing up last minute details.

What I can't understand, is - is Hermine folded into invest 90 as one storm, or are they two separate storms?

Anyone know?

We're already awfully wet down here.

[deport]

One and the same.... Just intensified to a TS.

[NautiNurse]

Hermine used to be Invest 90. Some of the wx sites haven’t cleaned up following the upgrade yet.

[Pebcak]

Thank you very much guys.

I guess the GW crowd are eagerly watching the shaded area hoping for a major storm.

Thanks for the update NautiNurse. I am just north of Corpus Christi and am keeping an eye on this. Should get a lot of rain here. My Dad and Step-Mother are in from California and my Step-Mom has always wanted to experience a hurricane (not sure why). While this looks to be a mild Tropical Storm it will give her a taste.

Went down to Aransas Pass harbor and water was up above high tide already (it has been the past couple of days). I will post what I am seeing down here later.

Long before global warming, hurricane wishcasters have yearned to watch death and destruction. Voyeurs.

Watching.
