We have Nate in the Gulf of Mexico...looks like this one won't be bringing any rain to Texas, however. Nate is expected to become a Hurricane on Friday Afternoon, before impacting Northern Mexico.
Here (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCMAT5+shtml/072100.shtml?) is the Text Data. No graphics available yet.
Information (as of 5:30 PM ET -- September 7, 2011)
Location: About 125 Miles W of Campeche, MX
Moving: ESE at 2 MPH
Maximum Sustained Winds: 45 MPH
Minimum Pressure: 1004 mb
Tropical Storm Warning in effect from Chilitepec to Cepestun.

Texas may as well give up on any chances of rain from these tropical systems. :yawn: Lee went the wrong direction, and Nate looks like no threat to the U.S. at this point (except maybe Brownsville). Here is the projected path for Nate, as of the 4 PM CDT advisory.

That's yet to be determined if you ask me. It's still a 50/50 shot it will still hit the US. As always timing is the key, the same scenario goes for Maria as well.

Nate is almost at hurricane strength as winds are at 70 mph, but it's currently not moving. I wish Texas could get this rain as they badly need it, but I don't know if it will work out or not. We'll have to keep watching as this storm slowly meanders in the Bay of Campeche.

What once had the potential of being a hurricane and possibly moving north to bring some rain to Texas is now becoming another big disappointment and "fail" of a storm. Nate will become no more than a weak tropical storm as it moves directly west (and maybe even a little SW) in Mexico over the next couple of days.

Follow-up analysis: NHC has posted on Facebook, that, after further analysis of data on Nate, that the storm did indeed become a hurricane for a short period of time during it's lifespan. This makes Nate our seventh hurricane of the season.

I updated the title of this thread to reflect this finding.
