2024 Tropical Weather Thread

So how bad are we expecting this system in the gulf to be? Current tracks have it coming up the Sabine River middle of next week, which I do not like at all.
Too soon to say. I hate these systems, they get really hard to predict. Running near parallel to the coast, just a few degree difference in motion can make the difference of states for landfall and it can mean the difference of days over water. Hurricane Michael could have easily been a weak hurricane or tropical storm. It was almost dead, then one hot tower went up, kicked out the dry air and became a cat 5. I wouldn't rule anything out from weak storm to major hurricane from Texas to Florida.
