I've had a good 2" here in Sugar Land. It looks like we may see quite a bit more before this is over.

HGX radar out ? http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar_lite.php?rid=hgx&product=N0R&loop=no http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/N0R/HGX_0.png Appears that way. Since it's down I've been using this http://www.wunderground.com/weather-radar/united-states/tx/houston/hgx/?lat=29.71940041&lon=...

This weather is unbievable! It's been raining here for a good 2 hours and the lightning and thunder is non stop. Serious situation unfolding for us. Rackets fans at the game need to be safe

Update from Jeff: Flash Flood Emergency for Harris and Fort Bend Counties. This is a life threatening flood situation. Numerous bayous and nearing bankfull with 5-7” of rainfall in the last 2-3 hours. Widespread and deep street flooding is in progress across much of Harris County. Avoid all travel…...

Looks like it will be a long evening/night for us. Stay safe everyone. Turn around, don't drown!

It sure would be nice to see some frozen precip tonight into tomorrow before Winter ends this weekend! One last chance.. I sure hope we have some surprises tonight!

That would be AWESOME!!

Great information and thanks for sharing! I would love to see more insight like this in the future if the time permits. I always like to know what actually happens behind closed doors rather than just some graphics on TV. It is really interesting to know the forecast are done in house and not just r...

Things can and will change before the event unfolds. I am not saying Houston will get anything but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibilities. I think tonight into tomorrow we will have a better idea.

Srain, Do you see this High Pressure moving further south than the models are predicting or do you think it will shift East and we have no threat of winter weather in the Houston area? Just curious on your opinion. Thanks!

GFS and EURO have been suggesting a dusting or coating to 3" for the panhandle and west TX, with their solutions very simliar...I can only post the GFS (due to contract issues with EMCWF), but it looks similar... It will be interesting to see if this verifies. I wish that was further South and...

Hopefully not a modoki. I think the year 2005 in regards to Atlantic Hurricanes should explain why!

Thanks!

Are they considering flood watches?

Been raining here in Sugar Land area for a good 30-45 min! Loving it.

Showers and thunderstorms along the coast of South Texas are associated with a weak area of low pressure. This system is forecast to move inland over southern Texas and northern Mexico later today and development is not expected. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formatio...

Now that is interesting.

It appears to be right on the coastline to me. It sure is taking a lot longer than anticipated though and the trough is incoming fast.
