Both a flooding and isolated severe risk according to the latest WPC and SPC mesoscale discussions for the area overnight. At the moment it seems like the line of action generally remains the same as it has been most of the afternoon and evening, just extending now further SW. Let’s see what happens...

NW Harris Co getting dumped on and these cells don't appear to be in any kind of hurry to go anywhere. Looks like another feast or famine type of day for most of us. Hopefully that outflow can drag some of the precip back south and get a few more folks in on the action today.

Looks like everyone is in for a wet morning, but all the mesoscale models seem to propagate this initial band through at a decent clip. Think tomorrow appears to be the more concerning day for most as the low slowly pulls NE with what appears to be some healthy feeder bands. Depending on the positio...

Hope the NAM 3k 18Z run hits the jackpot. Shows pretty much all of Harris Co in the 3-4" range. It's more bullish with the moisture in the morning feeding up into the low before the main line comes through later in the day.

HRRR seems to be trending down in terms of intensity and coverage for the metro area. 15Z run just barely scrapes the western half of Harris county.

18Z HRRR looks concerning in terms of slow moving / training storms & precip in and around the Houston metro overnight with some embedded nastier looking storms. Something to monitor.

Have been hovering right around 38 here most of the afternoon. Picked up a quick 1/4" of straight rain and the temp has dropped to 35.

I find this hard to believe this early on - did you hear a location?

Definitely was not expecting rain like that. Picked up 1.31” here in the heights and most of it came down in about 15 minutes. Had a 5 minute stretch where my weather station recorded a rate of 5+” an hour. Bonkers.

Calm before the storm here in the heights? Either way, was treated with a great sunset and a full rainbow. Sitting at 1.9” of rain for the day here.

I’m headed down to South Padre for family vacation on Friday.. will be really curious to see what route I have to end up taking if this thing continues to park it and just spin over the same general area these next 2 days.

Picked up another 1.27” with the line that rumbled through early this morning. 12 hour total puts me right at 3.75”. Definitely going to make for a steamy day, sitting at 80º with 96% humidity currently.

Some crazy rainfall rates with this stuff. Up over 2.25 inches at the moment but looking like it’s starting to move south.

Caught the beautiful side of it here!

Picked up a quick 2.14” here in the heights. Had the drone up getting some cool cloud shots not expecting all the hail we got about 15 minutes later. Crazy stuff

Appears like I'm finally getting a moment of relief. Gauge reads 1.71" so far, all of that coming in about 45 minutes. Looks like the stuff NW up near Waller might continue to bow in this direction for round two.

I've already picked up an inch so far here in the heights in just about 25 minutes. Not raining huge drops but just coming down in sheets.
