Hurricane Katia

[kicker]

The UKMET model has this storm going the same way Ike did. I think it was Coop that told us that the euro model is the best for accuracy. I wonder what the chances this storm keeps jogging west and ends up in the gulf? Im asking because it seems every day the path gets further west and south. If you overlay Ikes path with Katia, its almost identical.

My completely uneducated (well not completely) opinion is that as long as the high pressure area that had had us in a gorilla grip for months stays in place, we won't see much of anything.

Even Lee wanted to come toward Texas and got completely turned away.

I have seen from some local to national weather people claiming that the dominating high over Texas was due to move as soon as two weeks ago. It just hasn't happened. The EURO had a low south of Sabine Pass a few days ago and Lee heading maybe into central or south Texas.

It didn't happen and we are still holding on to the drought.
