Tropical Storm Ernesto (III)

Barreling its way westwards across the Caribbean. Looks right now like it will miss Cancun, crossing into the Yucatan south of there, and then re-emerge into the Bay of Campeche. Then, its forward momentum will slow, and it will drift north, then move west again, crossing the Mexican coast again, south of Matamoros.

My question is whether it will drift north far enough to menace Texas, or not. I see no reason why it couldn't, but it all depends on how quickly a high pressure system settles across the Great Plains, and how strong it will be.
