Aug/25 Storms threatening rain

#A disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico has been flirting with Brownsville since

Wednesday.

"It's just sitting offshore," said Joe Snider, a meteorologist for the

National Weather Service in Brownsville. "I'm looking at the spiraling rain

right now on my radar, and I'd say it's just a few miles offshore from

Brownsville."

A 30 percent chance of rain is expected today.

"Tomorrow (Friday) we will start feeling some of the effects from a tropical

storm that hit Florida," Snider said.

"It's slowly drifting northwest but it's spreading out. Actually, this little

disturbance we have now is taking in some of that moisture that we can see

from satellite."

Students at The University of Texas began the fall semester Thursday with

notebooks and umbrellas in their arms.

"I'm not taking any chances," said Ruth Elizondo as she walked to class.

"This is that time of year when it rains unexpectedly."

Of the the two hurricanes out in the Caribbean -- Hurricane Humberto and

Hurricane Iris -- meteorologists said they won't know where they are actually

going to hit until about another week.
