The NHC brings it up to category 1 hurricane intensity on Sunday and Monday, but even they admit that is at the “top end” of forecast guidance at this time. Assuming it’s Tropical Storm or Hurricane Alpha, it will likely begin to weaken after Monday thanks to dry air from our recent cold front being wrapped into the storm.
While we should remain vigilant for any sudden changes in intensification, Eric and I (and most others) will be framing TD22/Alpha in terms of a water concern more than wind. This is not Laura. With the storm possibly stalling off Corpus Christi for a time, coastal areas south of Freeport may end up seeing lower-end tropical storm winds for a couple days.
Yeah the running idea is that it will pull half a harvey, loop over (or just offshore of) northern mexico, then head ENE toward the florida panhandle. I think we'll be clear of it (here in Houston), but definitely keep your eyes on it.Current track shows it to spin around in the gulf it appears. Time to wait and see.

I thought it was going to be named alpha, what happened? NHC is calling it beta. Is it in honor of Beta ORourke?Well about that... It looks like they just decided this ridge is weaker than expected and now it's looking to swing lazily ashore... Near Houston. This would be Hurricane Alpha. Looks like a good chance of a flooding event on Thursday in Houston, and all along the gulf coast from Monday to Friday.
