March 2019: Strong Front/Rain Chance To End March
Looked more promising an hour ago than it does now. Cap is strong.
Looks like we may break the cap here as the line gets ever-so-closer. Latest NAM sounding supports some marginal thunderstorms and we are beginning to see some showers break out across southeastern Harris Co. and in Galveston Co.
Probably won't be a well defined line that comes through, rather more scattered with embedded thunderstorms along it developing.

Well I only got an hour or less to work with up here...
Until this last week we were getting nearly daily rain. Front yard drains great but not the backyard. Nothing I can do when it's like that.
Cap is trying to break but it’s too little, too late at the house. Looks like a decent cell is about to pass by but it’s moving so fast, I won’t get much rain from it. I may actually get more rain from the post-frontal showers...which won’t be much.
It is dark outside though. At least it looks ‘stormy.’

Front is through. Party over up here. Ground barely got wet. Next...
No front here yet. Still warm and muggy. Had a brief heavy shower in SW Houston around 12:30pm. Than some light rain about a half hour ago. Nothing to write home about.
It will verify. You only need a trace of rain to check the box. I got .27” so that’s more than enough to say it rained.
I wonder how many pounds of pollen are about to wash into Galveston bay.
Edited: I had .27” not .37”

We got almost a half inch in cypress. My current temp is way lower than what any of my weather apps are calling for. 57 and supposedly rising later?
Glad I decided to wash the car today. Pollen will probably be back on the car in the morning. I was telling myself it's going to rain, it's going to rain. But I could barely see out of the back window, needed gas anyways, might as well rinse the car off.
And yeah, they did say 80% chance, so we got a "little" bit of rain, it is verified.
Yeah, it's 61 here and slowly rising. Weather.com shows 70 by 10PM.
looking at TX temps, it's risen to 90 at Alice

95 in Zapata https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/times ... aw=0&w=325
too early for those temps for my taste https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/

Dang - it's up to 71 now. I guess the initial front washed-out, and now we await the 'real' front tomorrow.

That line sure did pop up fast near Dallas
Interesting line of storms up to our NW headed this way. Intense rainfall for sure. Was not expecting to see that on the radar during the middle of the night.
