And srainhoutx, our cpu usage is in the red (again..)

And tropical season isn't here yet. Signing off folks. The storm is getting close. Have fun night crew.

What can we expect for Porter over the next couple of hours?

You'll need to keep an eye on the storms to your west, however it does appear that the worse may pass a little to you south. Either way, rain and lightning is a good bet.

Outflow boundary looks to have cut the inflow to the line and is currently responsible for its weakening.

You think this is it? The northern end of the line appears to be bowing.

I leave for a bit and come back and man does that radar look ugly! It is quiet here in my neighborhood...for all of you going through the storms please stay safe!

Thanks...I'll enjoy the lightening storm!

I have also seen lightning off in the distance thus far tonight here in Baytown. I am still wondering if any of those severe thunderstorms are going to make it this way prior weakening tonight or early tomorrow morning prior sunrise.

VIL continues to decrease.....

By the way, in case any of you have not noticed, some of that lightning has a orange or copper hue to it.

What does that mean? That is interesting I don't remember seeing lightning like that before.

If you're saying the storms are weakening I agree.

Interesting observation of this storm's lightning. I just saw one flash and it was blue, which indicates hail.

The line may break into two sections, with a small gap over Harris...

Thank you wxdata for the link that is very interesting!

COLORED LIGHTNING is actually a result of atmospheric pollutants. A lightning bolt is very hot and produces a blue white light. When that light passes through dust or other pollutants in the sky it may take on a different color as the pollutants act as filters.

Note, up here in my part of the country, southern Indiana, we see a lot of orange, red and purple cg's. Pollutants from the Ohio River valley factories is high all the time. Our air quality during mid summer is off the scale....when you look into the river valley it's a haze across it and can last for days & weeks. Unfortunately we breathe that air too...Air conditioner sales skyrocket during bad years.

VIL up on the storm SW of Fulshear
