Yeah, the DPs today were higher than expected: 76-77°F

Gathering strength, inflowing moisture

There's some backbuilding - MCV development and progression should be watched.

The lawn is mowed. Bring it.

A hail core is nearing. No rain yet. Man, it's dark though!

Very much so for us, and I would not be surprised for Houston

Very weird issue with Directv right now. I can't get signal on any local channels, but all the cable channels are fine. Is there some local broadcast out of our area that they use that's boogered up by the recent power issues? Had the same issue. Ruined the Willie Nelson birthday showing. I’m gonna...

The atmosphere is pretty worked over in CLL and HOU today. Good for cleanup.

Normal. What a relief!

Please don’t tempt the drought trolls by celebrating yet.

Just taking it Day by Day

Normal. What a relief!

We has some rain overnight as the crumbling line moved through. Mostly wind and light rain, but enough to keep the sprinklers off.

Future cast shows a line of shower that crosses Texas N/S completely by 8 pm and approaching the Hill Country. Crazy.

It's pretty fierce down in Houston.
Temp: 72.5°F
DP: 65°F
Wind: NE 25 mph
Sunny

Up here in CLL. Feels good before the next round.

lol That was one way to lower the DP. 66°F DP with that outflow and we still have 25-35 mph winds on the backside of the line of showers.

Reports from Huntsville anyone? Radar showing 100 mph winds down to 8,500 feet, but usually that translates to a good bit lower at the surface.

Huge core hail center over Huntsville. It looks VERY dark to our east.

Yes. Multiple hail cores are forming. It *could* be a rough afternoon for SETX.

Cpv17 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 11:28 am Already 92°F here with a heat index of 107°F.

DP 78°.

I think even the coastal areas should get prepared. We'll see.

What will this oncoming set of showers look like when it hits this very rich environment later today... With high CAPE and DPs of 78°F, and an outflow snowplowing at 55 mph be prepared for uplift and severe weather. Get prepared. TBH, this outperformed my expectation of arrival, which I thought wou...

Pas_Bon wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 10:49 am The CAPE levels for coastal SE Texas today are mind-blowing for this late in May.
far greater than 5,000 across the board.

The outflow is charging at 55 mph. We had a violent arrival with 50 mph gusts just a moment ago. Nature is angry.

Get Prepared now Houston.

Lots of instability in the air. NWS has increased rain chance to 50-60% over the next few days, beginning with this evening. The Ensembles and NWS are more confident than the Mesos for rain. Regardless, it appears we're in for a "cooler" but more unstable weather pattern for the remainder ...

Definite Maybe.
