Things are happening.

Perhaps, but it's still shocking how nice the weather is behind this line. Seems more like a cold front pushing through.

Clear blue skies to the west - looks like we're clear (at least for a while). East Siders - hope is coming!

It seems like once this big line passes we'll be Ok? Completely clear behind that line it seems all the way to the border...

Don't know if we'll get any rain, but we are getting some very strong wind around Sugar Land!

If they say the 'trend is your friend', then I don't like the trend of this line in general. Seems to be slowing down and pulling in a lot of moisture ahead of it.

So as the first line drives towards the coast, is that going to allow the atmosphere to 'recharge' and set up a round 2? If so, when would that happen? My wife is stranded in the Med Center and we're trying to figure out if she has a window to get out. Thanks!

Considering this isn't even supposed to be the main event - we may be witnessing a historical event over these next 2-3 days. Incredible.

Is Fort Bend getting off easy, or is our turn coming up later? Seems like the boundary is staying north of I-10.

Extraordinary event developing here. Not to sound alarmist, but has some echoes of Allison here. Who's staying up to monitor?

Sounds like TranStar will be a very busy place tonight. Get some nutrients and caffeine in you Jeff and team!

WPC discussion update - sounds very ominous for our western side. MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HIGH RISK AND MODERATE RISK AREAS BASED ON TRENDS. AN MCS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE HILL COUNTRY WAS BEST SUPPORTED BY THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN / DEEP LAYER ASCENT...AND WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A FLASH FLOOD THRE...

So wait... We have a 60% chance of rain right now. What exactly was unexpected? -Steve Latest from Jeff: "Things not going as planned at all this evening with widespread development ongoing W of I-45 across SE TX. No good reason as to why these SE to NW bands have developed except maybe a surge...

Got over 10 inches of rain here in Sienna Plantation. Not a bust event everywhere!

It feels like the low has at least slowed down. The march of the dryline east has more or less stopped for now...

It seems like rainfall rates around the metro area have really increased in the last hour or so. I hope people are still taking this seriously!

Looks like today is the main event! Stay safe out there, everyone!!

Now seems to be moving just E of N? Strange storm.

Still moving west. Potentially good news for Houston!

Pressure keeps dropping. Good thing this sucker is making landfall soon!
