The SciGuy blog at the Houston Chronicle and Dr. Jeff Masters at Weather Underground outline the possibility of TS Edouard turning to the north of Houston and hitting the Texas-Louisiana border.
What this means for us in Houston is a little bit of rain and wind. Nothing like what would happen if the TS hit Galveston directly and came ashore to Houston (as earlier predictions stated). All of the computer models and the weather channel still have the storm on a direct path for Galveston.
I tend to think that the storm will turn North and hit the border. This means a pretty messy storm for Michael, Becky, Abby and Evan.
Either way, Jules, myself and the kids will be at home tomorrow just in case the storm holds its course. We're not really worried about any wind but Houston can flood pretty quickly.
The official predictions have the eye of the storm hitting Galveston around noon tomorrow. This means that we would probably start to see some of the early rain bands right around dawn.
All in all I think we're pretty "underwhelmed" by this one. We've done all the stuff you're supposed to do when there is a storm in the gulf but I really don't think this thing will amount to much around here.
If the storm turns north, Jules and I will call Michael and post any updates here. I'll post another update around dawn tomorrow.
