Breaking Weather News: T.D. 9 forms SE of Freeport

Yup, Tropical Depression 9 has formed and is tracking North. What was once an area of low pressure could be a Tropical Storm by landfall as conditions are ripe. Projected ETA to the Houston/Galveston area is 7:00 p.m. and rainfalls of 6"-10" are possible with up to 15" in some areas. The projected flood watch area stretches from Houston/Galveston to Lake Charles. T.D. 9 is plodding along at about 8-10 mph and may slooooowly mosey on over us, Houstonist hopes the storm does not stall (is Bob Schneider in town???). Currently, tides are slightly above normal and the bayous are stable, but, as Houstonist well knows - it don't take much for that little situation to change. For now, keep the umbrella handy and one eye on the skies (just don't stand there looking up with your mouth open).
