At that time, the forum will either be transferred to an upgraded platform with a more secure way of communicating, or perhaps the data...

Re: SEPTEMBER 2018 -Rain Chances Increase Late Week
As of Noon, this Tuesday 9/18/18 .... The NHC has stopped tracking the, "0% region", removing the yellow hatch area ... But, storms there continue to fire around the wave... Hopefully the wind shear continues to do its job to end this thing... Tracking high PWATs coming our way, to SETX, T...

Re: a shout-out to Brooks Garner from chaser, Jim Edds
Oh yeah, Jim's a great guy. Met him at a conference years ago. He's an amazing dude, traveling the world to chase typhoons, cyclones and hurricanes. Thanks for thinking of me!

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
Flood Advisory for Crosby area, south of Lake Houston... Activity like this should generally dissipate as the day continues. This storm is tiny, by the way, just 7mi by 4mi.... or 28 sq miles... and it's stationary. Dropped 2.12" in an hour at HCFC gauge - Gum Gully @ Diamond Head Boulevard nea...

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
A HUGE thank you to all the pro mets ( Brooks, Andrew, Srain, Wxman 57, Jeff, Belmer and Mcheer) that came on here and helped with the forecasts and general observations. It is because of you and the amateur mets that we are able to have such a strong board. Thank you again. You are too kind to wri...

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
Seeing the short range model trends and observing the rain dissipating in Matagorda County, I'm growingly confident that we'll see an end to this rain faster than earlier anticipated. HRRR forecasts a quiet evening commute with generally dissipating rain.

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
On this last day of heavy rain event ... Ball park future precip estimates range from 1"-3" where storms set up this morning along and south of 59, and most impactful rain ends before evening commute. NWS says last time Bush IAH airport saw greater than 1" of rain for four consecutive...

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
Checking the gauges on harris county flood control, the highest rainfall we've spotted in this band is about 2" per hour.... cold pooling behind this line MAY push it through, sparing us... Hoping the westward progression of that low doesn't effectively stop forward motion of this line.

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
Any chance this band coming in from the west slows down and trains like it did in Beaumont or Corpus area? Or will this move through by this evening? I guess that is a tough question lol.. This has been pretty difficult to forecast by the NWS I imagine. Yes. That's what we're worried about... that ...

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
The HRRR shows a possible focus of rain coming closer to our region over next 18hrs.... Not to say that this would cause flooding, but it would cause rain.

The threat for Houston metro will be enhanced by any outflow boundaries which result from this energy cruising up through Wharton and Colorado Counties after Matagorda... Thanks for posting!

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
Remember what Dr. Frank always preaches, " Until a tropical system is completely gone, you always have to have your guard up" . We still have a warm moist atmosphere, low convective temperatures and onshore flow. HGX still has a 70 percent of heavy rain today.. That's very good advice -- ...

Re: JUNE 2018: Watching The Tropics/Heavy Rainfall Possible
I’m probably preaching to the choir, but ... a reminder to those who don’t know: It is scientifically impossible to make a 100% accurate/specific forecast for acute flooding. On a day like this you may see 1” or you could see 10+”. That’s wet roads vs inundated. Chaos theory still rules tropical fo...

Re: JUNE 2018: Watching The Tropics/Heavy Rainfall Possible
Brooks, will this be a bust??? Wasn’t it supposed to be heavy rains all day today To me, it looks like we will have more rain than expected. At this point, a bust seems very unlikely unless your benchmark was 6 inches of rain. When models are calling for a foot of rain, anything less than a few inc...

Re: JUNE 2018: Watching The Tropics/Heavy Rainfall Possible
Brooks, will this be a bust??? Wasn’t it supposed to be heavy rains all day today No, today was not a bust. We could never commit to specifics due to the inherent uncertainty of tropical forecasting. It downpoured periodically almost exactly as forecast. The the heaviest banding rain may happen Mon...

Stating the obvious, but the next 12hrs will be telling.
