8/15 - 8pm - Hurricane Dean.... Coming Soon.

Whoa! TS Dean really cranked up today. The NHC said this thing already has a partial eye wall. According to the NHC and Accuweather, this storm will be a category 1 hurricane tomorrow. That's right, not day 5 as I said yesterday, but tomorrow. As far as the track goes, it seems to be taking a more southward path just south of Cuba, but its not for sure. I'm still hearing the Gulf Coast landfall solution reverberating through the meteorology world. I still think this storm could clip Florida and bang up the Gulf Coast.

And how about Tropical Storm Erin? That storm strengthened pretty quick too, just right off the coast of Texas. This one could be the big surprise of the season. I've seen some suggest that there is a possibility that it could become a category 1 hurricane before it landfalls in Texas. While that is a possibility, I think that it won't be too bad. This area doesn't need the rain though, and this storm could bring a lot of it.

Locally, it was hot today! We broke a record with a high of 103 degrees today. That breaks our 102 record we set last week! I think we'll see one more day in the 100's before cooling off into the 80's for the weekend. We're under a SLIGHT risk for severe weather tomorrow. Maybe we'll get lucky with some rain!
