Debby Becomes a Tropical Storm, Texas Landfall a Possibility

? Tropical Storm Debby formed in the central Gulf on Saturday, and forecasters say a turn toward Texas might not be a bad thing for the state?s weather, 1200 WOAI news reports.

? That?s because Debby is expected to be bringing more rain than wind, and whoever gets the storm will receive a good soaking, according to the National Hurricane Center.

? Right now the models on Debby?s path are all over the place, but officials say a turn toward Texas, driven by the high pressure system that is bringing us our triple digit temperatures, could happen by the middle of the week.

? The questions would be whether Debby would turn sharply and hit the central Texas coast, brining heavy rains to the San Antonio area, or would instead hit the Houston area or the upper coast.

? Some computer models also show Debby moving into northern Mexico.

? Officials say we should have a better feeling about Debby?s path Monday or Tuesday.

? Some Gulf oil rigns have evacuated their employees from platforms as a precaution, and that has the potential of stopping the downward movement of gas prices.

? Debby is not expected to become a hurricane.
