No, it's not the newest Terminator movie, but the Weather Channel people seem to be saying, "I'll be back."

This morning when we turned on the Weather Channel, they were talking about Bonnie... the tropical disturbance in the Gulf that is now expected to become a tropical storm (and will be named Bonnie)... ALL of the computer models are showing it predicted to come across our home. Maybe a bit south, perhaps a bit north, but pretty much right over the top of South Padre Island and Port Isabel. There was a reporter from the Weather Channel standing on the beach on South Padre Island this morning. Did they get some sort of group rate to travel there??

Not expected to bring big wind or much storm surge; more of a heavy rain event. The area is saturated thanks to Alex's visit last week. We have pretty decent run off, thanks to being on an island... the rest of the Rio Grande Valley inland is flat; this is going to be a bad situation for that area.

Meanwhile, nearly 2,000 miles away, the weather is lovely: cool dry mornings, warming up to the 70s in the afternoon, a few puffy white clouds to enhance the views of the mountains.
