TD 5/TS Erin

The system in the Gulf of Mexico was upgraded to TD 5 last night and may become a very short lived Tropical Storm Erin. Probably won’t be much more than a windy rainy day for south Texas
From this morning’s 5AM discussion:

UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE QUICKLY BECOMING FAVORABLE FOR STRENGTHENING AS AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE HAS FORMED OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. THIS EVOLUTION IS RESULTING IN A REDUCTION IN VERTICAL SHEAR AND A MORE DIFFLUENT PATTERN ALOFT. STILL…THE CURRENT LACK OF ORGANIZATION ARGUES AGAINST SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING. EVEN IF THE DEPRESSION CAN BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED LATER TODAY…IT WOULD ONLY HAVE A DAY OR SO OVER WATER. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST THEREFORE CALLS FOR A LITTLE STRENGTHENING PRIOR TO LANDFALL. ONCE INLAND…THE DEPRESSION SHOULD QUICKLY WEAKEN WITH DISSIPATION BY DAY 3…IF NOT SOONER.
