TD #2 heading for Texas/Mexico

Posted by Paul Dellegatto under Daily updates, MyFoxHurricane.com website

While TD #2 may not become a hurricane, there are serious concerns about flooding in Texas and Mexico from heavy rainfall over swollen creeks and rivers. There are areas still flooded from the passage of hurricane “Alex” that may receive an additional 4″ to 8″ of rainfall. Already bands of rain have been increasing on the Corpus Christi radar and this trend will continue along the coast thru Thursday.

Despite a lack of deep convection around the center of the depression, there is an opportunity for TD #2 to become TS “Bonnie” before landfall Thursday night. Seas surface temps have been cooled by the passage of “Alex”, but are still warm enough to support intensification. Vertical wind shear is expected to remain low. Storm surge and wind impacts should be rather low unless the storm intensifys rapidly, which I do not expect to happen due to the storm’s large size and lack of thunderstorms near the center.
