Tropical Storm Don may hit Texas this weekend.

Don, which remains a relatively weak system, still showed Thursday a landfall near Corpus Christi, with a narrowing cone of uncertainty from north of Brownsville to Matagorda Bay. The storm is not expected to become a hurricane before coming ashore sometime tonight or early Saturday, but it still could strengthen in the warm Gulf waters.

If the forecast track holds, and Don comes ashore near or to the south of Corpus Christi, we can count out getting any rain. All that changes, of course, if Don takes a slightly more northerly turn and comes inland near Matagorda Bay. If that happens, we could see anywhere from 1/2 inch to 2 inches of scattered showers.
