Not Going..

too far south... =(

I might be going to Corpus...

So a corpus landfall looks possible of dean as a major hurricane. Well my boss from corpus called me today and told me he is calling southern region tomorrow requesting that I go down on monday if needed to help in hurricane operations. This would be really sweet they would fly me out there and give me per diem and stay in hotels or in the office if the eye passes close to corpus.

If this happens and i go...i will keep a daily journal and try to post updates. I will post the journal when all is said and done.

First week of work..

Well Y'all.. I know I am like one of the last people to finally start work but I did. Its almost the end of week one and its pretty cool here. Very different from what all of y'all do. It very much Atmospheric Chemistry, like writing air permits and stuff. I'm still learning everything because we tookt hat class how many years ago and what do I remember?? nothing... so its kinda hard but its a nice place with nice people. I have my own office and I have out some A&M things to make it look good.

I'm excited about all the tropical weather we are having..Dean looks cool.

I am all moved into my apartment so if anyone is visiting Houston, you are welcome to come by. Come over Alicia and Jennifer! its gets lonely living by yourself...

Enjoy the weekend everyone!!

Lookout Texas

The GFS 240hr 500mb forecast:

Tropics getting active...

Tropical Depression 4 formed way out in the atlantic and is at least 10 days from the gulf. A lot of the models are bringing into the Gulf and making landfall anywhere from mexico to Florida. This will likely be tropical storm dean later today or tomorrow. This system will have the potential to be a major hurricane whereever it makes landfall. Something to watch.

There is also a disturbance between Cuba and the Yucatan that is rapidly becoming more organized and a tropical depression is likely tonight or tomorrow. Most models have this becoming a strong tropical storm or a weak hurricane making landfall in the middle texas coast. This system could help the one in the atlantic to not explode once it hits the gulf as it takes energy out of the GOM.

Ice Cream Week...

so with all the high pressure and hot weather it was declared ice cream week. Every night we are doing this at a different place but I thought i'd put up the one from braums yesterday. I think im going to have to take this down in a few days...i dont know about all the copyrights and what not but just know this... i found the perk of the job include free ice cream!

Chris is 23!!
