It has been raining here in Texas NON STOP for two days now and apparently not going to stop till after Sunday.
I am sitting here typing this listening to it rain....and it's not just raining, it's POURING. It poured all last night...on and off again during the day and now it's been pouring since around 4pm and has not let up.
It's crazy!

Why did Hurricane Patricia become a monster so quickly?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hurricane Patricia zoomed from tropical storm to record-beater in 30 hours flat like a jet-fueled sports car.

My aunt-in-law lived in western Texas and they are expecting to get hit by the effects of Hurricane Patricia Sgt Kelli Mays. I hope some of the rains help to reduce the drought in California.

Hurricane Patricia is expected to veer to NNE than NE, carrying the system towards Southern Texas and then off the Texas Coast. The system will be downgraded to Trop. Depression status as the storm weakens and remains over land in Mexico.

That the system is produced winds of 165mph, this is a whopper, however the terrain it will be going through has very high elevation. This will also start to dry the system due to adiabatic cooling and drying due being over land in general and then drying a bit being on the leeside of the mountains.

Winds have dropped as it is over land ALREADY with winds down to gusts of 115mph and will further break down, with the biggest problem being the rain shield an it's movement.

System is indicated as a Tropical Depression as you see the red circle.
We will see further change as it lags over land masses but gets
caught up in the Cold Front that is moving East and Southeast.

UPDATE ON FORMER HURRICANE PATRICIA who just 24 hours later was a tremendously strong
and dangerous Hurricane (Cat 5) and now has dissipated. Such are these systems. The problem
is the residual storm damage due to present gradients and lift associated with low pressure and
Tropica Cyclone is doing just that.

Post-Tropical Cyclone PATRICIA

ZCZC MIATCDEP5 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM

POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE PATRICIA DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202015
400 PM CDT SAT OCT 24 2015

Satellite imagery and surface observations from northern Mexico
indicate that Patricia has degenerated to a remnant low pressure
area characterized by no organized convection and a poorly defined
surface circulation. The remnant low is expected to move
northeastward and weaken to a trough during the next several hours,
with the trough being absorbed by a non-tropical area of low
pressure over southern Texas tonight or on Sunday.

"This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center
on Patricia. However, a threat of heavy rains continues over
portions of Mexico and the northwestern coastal areas of the Gulf of
Mexico. Future information on these rains can be found in statements
issued by local National Weather Service forecast offices and the
Meteorological Service of Mexico." NOAA

The worst damage was avoided as then Hurricane Patricia hit land
and more importantly crossed over Mountainous terrains. Shearing
takes place and the moisture is squeezed out by the adiabatic
process.

This system has a high likelihood or redeveloping as it goes offshore
around the Atlantic. Along its path we will encounter some heavy
rain and strong winds due the Pressure Gradient Force.

Except for the information in quotes, the rest is my own
characterization of this system's cyclosis, which is a fancy
way of saying, DISSIPATION.

We are safe and secure here in middle Tennessee, Sgt Kelli Mays, and I certainly hope you dodge any worse weather bullets.
