90% chance for Tropical development the next two day and hurricane hunters are expected to go in tomorrow. That will give models much more to go on! Everyone is saying Louisiana, but we're not there yet! Stay Tropics Aware! Frank #click2houston @kprc2

Did you get a little Red Dirt Dust Storm last night? Showers originated in the desert areas around Del Rio and, just like African dust can be transported, so can Del Rio Dust! Showers were heavy enough to bring the red dirt down with the rain and sleet!
