It was not much of a battle as Tropical Storm Don literally dried out over south Texas last night. The storm, or what was left of it moved inland near Baffin Bay around 10pm and immediately began to evaporate over the drought stricken state. The historic drought was too much for the poorly organized storm and this morning it is a remnant low over the Rio Grande. The storm provided little relief from the drought with just scattered showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters were expecting perhaps 1-3 inches of rain, but that seems generous with most stations reporting much less than that. Winds were perhaps 20mph along the coast. Forecasters are now watching two other areas of interest in the Atlantic basin for possible development. We are now heading into the peak seasonal months of August and September.
