"Thing 2" is not even over the water yet. It is just a wave of thunderstorms, basically air-mass thunderstorms that make the big summer tropical rains in the jungles of Africa. It's a rainy day for those people; probably plenty of lightning with it. If indeed, "Thing 2" goes south of the dry stable ait, it may develop as long as it does not get TOO far south. The dry, stable air has been a killer this year. It's possible that wind shear may be causing PTC 4 to struggle and not close off a defined center. Its' winds are only 35 mph anyway, so it couldn't be Danielle right now, even if the Hurricane Hunter does find 40 mph sustained winds in a certain sector of the storm, unless a center did close off. I am not sure it will make 40 mph anyway. Regardless of if it got a name or not, the weather is going to be acting like a named storm; it will be that crappy of an afternoon for folks at South Padre Island, so don't go planning on swimming at the beach, or a barbecue cookout today; wait till tomorrow. Rain and thunderstorms today, tonight, heavy at times. Improving tomorrow.
😕 Its misery this time of the year.
