Peaked at 89°F again. Big thunderhead over Columbus with clouds that stretch back over IAH and Humble now. A swing and a miss!

It is 88°F at IAH now. The sea breeze showers remain to the south and west. Today might be the day.

89° I believe.

Well that Eastern Pacific disturbance (92E ) went from 20% chance of developing to a full blown Tropical Depression #1E in a hurry... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/92E/imagery/vis-animated.gif SPECIAL TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 1120 AM PDT MON JUN 6 2...

Warm, but not hot, and breezy. NE winds, and possible fast moving showers moving through. Shrubs and grass are green. No complaints and would be delighted if the forecast could go "Groundhog Day" until Sept 1.

I would take today every single day until September!

Yeah, the weak frontal boundary is already south of Houston. 78 degrees at IAH at NOON in JUNE? That's ridiculous! Normal high for this time of year is 90, though IAH has YET to hit 90 this spring. I am not complaining about the temps at all. Was a lovely morning. I almost forgot it was June when I...

16.42 in of rain IMBY for May.


Unbelievable.

There doesn't seem to be much steering going on.

The Houston cluster is starting to weaken as daytime heating subsides. Things will fire up again tomorrow, hopefully with less focal intensity.

Wow - that midlevel circulation over Baytown/Houston is amazing - -looks almost tropical. Incredible rainfalls.

Just caught-up on the thread. I don't know if that's necessarily good news for us or now. A warm core system would tend to consolidate the rains near the core, or west of here. A cold-core convective system has the potential of setting-up training feeder bands off the Gulf. Pick your poison, either...

Definitely seeing some outflow convergence on the western side of the city, between the beltway and Katy. I think that is probably going to help the storms fill in around the metro area fairly soon. And that is even before the larger scale event starts. Thats just my amateur opinion though. As the ...

srainhoutx, that satellite photo looks suspiciously tropical. It's not, but it definitely raises the eyebrow. It's an ULL rather than surface low (and without an upper level ridge feeding it, but there appear to be some tropical characteristics of the air. Visually it has the appearance of tropical...

Unless I am reading it wrong I don't see any of the models showing anything that looks like a core rain event tonight. They are all showing a consistent spin with the rainfall but no concentration around the center. Is this a case of the models not having a full understanding of the situation yet? ...

Make no mistake, with the upper level low swirling to our west, this is just the first wave. The rain and moisture appear to be far more tropical than last week, which had a nasty late severe season disposition. Characteristic small droplets and breeze are here. Daytime heating should flare up the n...

The 12Z GFS model does focus the 96 hour rainfall forecast map on the Freeport - Galveston area. 3-4 inches of rain inland.

The HGX Office is now prediction 4-5 inches of rain areawide, with isolated areas potentially seeing up to 10 inches. We should all be really concerned per Houstonia's post from Jeff Linder about downstream flooding, particularly the Brazos River. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/images/fxc/hgx/graphicast/im...

After this week, is this pattern finally going to shift to normal sunny Summer weather? Two springs in a row that have been absolutely awful Be careful what you wish for. Last year, the spigot shut off on July 4. Barely a trace of rain until October 22. Foliage around here is still recovering from ...

18z GFS has a broader coastal low, but 3-5 inches of rain over 72 hours with a bullseye near Brenham.
