It's way to early to predict, but we could sure use some rain here in SAT.

Fun? PB, you have a really warped sense of humor.

Sorry...I should have specified...
I am a huge weather nerd. The kind of guy who has an anemometer on the roof of his house. The kind of guy who pays for a weather subscription service, just so I can analyze different radar levels. The kind of guy who dipped out of TechEd a few years ago just so I could go chase a tornado around Orlando.
Yep...I'm that guy. It's a hobby for me, much like guns. An expensive one too.
Me and Ma Nature are cool with each other...

Me too, as long as she doesn't want to rain too hard on my parade.

, given the situation extant, "fun" is not the word I would have chosen either.

Impactweather (the subscription service that my company pays mucho denaro for) has a storm track way south of the NOAA forcast. They are predicting northern Mexico.

I'm seeing the same thing... BAMM, BAMD, BAMS, and HWRF are showing tracks just north of Tampico. LBAR and NHC are the only ones showing a TX impact.
It's all guess work...we'll see how it plays out!

The LBAR is the only one that I'm worried about, impact has been pretty dang reliable for us.

Right now, I just keep hoping that this early bird storm isn't going to cause me to have to work over my Fourth of July weekend. Twenty hour days is not a good trade off for hamburgers and fireworks!
