ATL: Tropical Storm Don

[beneficii]

In the history of some pretty pathetic "tropical storms" that have made landfall in the past...Don may be the new winner. Sad for Texas as there might not even be much rain to move across. The whole precipitation shield has just vanished in the last 6 hours. A lot of discussion that this may not even have been a tropical cyclone at landfall as recon nor surface observations suggested a defined LLC in the last few hours...a degeneration process began this morning.

We need to hope and pray that Invest 91L does better.

Yeah.  Just awful on microwave imagery prior to landfall.
