It's the official start of Hurricane Season and we have a disturbance in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico. This disturbance has a 70% chance of formation in the next 2 & 7 days. If it does become a named storm, its name would be Arlene. {2:25pm Thursday} #rgv #rgvwx pic.twitter.com/kGk30QebfD

Testing out a new plot for the multi-model ensemble, color-coding ensemble track density plots by the ensemble suite.
— Tomer Burg (@burgwx) June 18, 2023
This can help distinguish prominent differences in model suites - for example, notice how the GEFS suite primarily recurves 92L while the EPS track it west: pic.twitter.com/5HwvGA5hjm

We are just now entering the time of year when the tropics fire up and sure enough the GFS model today has this in the gulf between August 13 and August 16th when it makes landfall.
Low level of confidence since it's 10+ days out but it's a reminder to be watchful in August/September.

A nice tropical system (note:NOT a hurricane) right up the Rio Grande would be great!

Models are picking up on a depression hitting just to our north Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
Close in developing system that won't have time to become dangerous. Seems too good to be true.

The latest from @NHC_Atlantic on potential development of a tropical wave expected to move through the Gulf early next week. For the #rgv, hopeful rain and a break in triple-digit heat are good news Tuesday. A stronger system would add wind and possible flooding. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/3JOeQVdwz9

Area really needs the rain. I have a feeling it will be a bust because dove season is still a couple of weeks away. That is a for sure rain magnet.
Amazing what this high pressure deal has done to what is the oddest summer I have seen in deep STX.

Keeps decreasing for the greater RGV area. Any is welcome, but the area could use a good 3-5" soaking prior to fall, which is typically dry in Oct-Dec.

Pretty good rain in Harlingen starting early this morning. I had to drive up to Edinburg and it got much lighter the further west I went. Basically a light mist in the Upper Valley.
1:06p, 8/22/23
Drove from MFE to Browntown this morning. A few light showers, and in Brownsville it doesn't seem like it has rained much at all. A sprinkle about 10am.
Nice cloudy September like day but that is it. I just knew we weren't gonna get much rain. But I think the laredo area and to the north is getting hammered.

Close enough for the farmers who still have cotton in the fields.

Possible Cat 4 headed to Florida. Yikes
Idalia has unfortunately formed an eyewall overnight, with increasingly vigorous convection aiding in further intensification.
— Tomer Burg (@burgwx) August 29, 2023
With very warm waters & decreasing wind shear in its path, rapid intensification is expected today bringing it to a category 3 or 4 major hurricane. https://t.co/VkJfQDCpG3 pic.twitter.com/UHnIKJQoTx

Not much change / better organization to #93L in the Gulf of Mexico early this afternoon. @NHC_Atlantic leaves odds at a low 30% chance.

Hurricane Hunters are flying there now to gather details on the structure. If nothing else, better data to plug into evening forecast models pic.twitter.com/KXIxx6pNCd
