September 2019 - Warm End of September

So what are y'alls thoughts on the SW side of town this afternoon? I have to make a decision to let people go home or not (I already let some employees who are on the North side stay home this morning. But I don't want to wait until the last minute and have people drive in this, but I also don't want them stranded on the roads or at work either. Tough call..

I was watching channel 2, thought they said a UPS facility on Aldine Bender? Have not been able to find info on though, do you have a link to more info ? Whichever one, those poor people

It’s an easy call. If the rain hasn’t started between the office and home, get home ASAP.

Tough call but err on the side of caution. Send them home now. I'm in Spring Branch and it's flooding here now.

What area exactly. If the rain isnt to you yet, maybe give them the option to go if they live nearby. Wouldnt want anyone to travel north though. More than likely safer at work though.

Roofer came by. Defective vent. Luckily it was just the one vent over the garage, so no water got into the house.

Some of the streets in Imperial Oaks started to flood, but quickly drained with the lull. Thank goodness my house sits on a little ridge.

5.80” since midnight and it’s ramping up again.

The trend has been weakening over the immediate Houston area, but the concern for street flooding remains. With that said, at this point, it's probably best to stay put.

thanks - I see where they posted that, I can't find anything on kprc's site, but I swear they said on tv it was UPS facility - a lot of worried loved ones of people who work for either one, I wish they would give a source when they report stuff like this

Cloud tops do appear to be warming and the lightning as well as the hourly rainfall rates have come down a bit within the last hour. Hopefully that trend continues as the rain slowly moves southward. Do not let your guard down. While it may be slightly letting up, areas south of I-10 are saturated from earlier rains so it won't take much to flood.

[davidiowx]

Thanks for the input all. We are all primarily on the SW side in Stafford area. I would rather give them the chance to get home before the heaviest rains arrive. It looks like it will get worse down here before it gets better. So I am going to let them go home and work from home.

Thank god we are getting a break in the Humble area. My neighborhood has lots of street flooding, and had practically none during Harvey. At least things draining very quickly now that the rain slowed down.

You are getting a break, but there is more coming in

I see the warming tops, however it does appear new tops are going up just to the west of the main MCS. I am a bit concerned about this continuing to feed the band.

[jasons2k]

I’m concerned this will continue. Lots of instability is feeding the bands from the south and west. As the low drifts north, the bands may just stall or even lift out some more later on. Not an easy forecast for sure.

.SHORT TERM [This Afternoon]...
Messy overnight weather shifting into messy morning and afternoon
weather for a good portion of the FA. Large band of thunderstorms
(MCS) that was draped over the central/southeastern counties last
night/early this morning has been slowly sinking S/SE and filling
in from the west this morning (along the coast). Some of the near
term models are indicating that these trends will continue and we
could see additional rounds of rain over areas that got a hit yes-
terday (particularly Galveston/Brazoria/Harris/Chambers counties).
Some incredible rainfall totals/rates have been reported thus far
and, unfortunately, we`re not really seeing signs of things taper-
ing off just yet. Main message is to stay put if you can and keep
up to date on the latest weather developments. 41

.AVIATION [18Z Issuance]...
Will be keeping with the mention of TSRA for the rest of this aft-
ernoon/early evening...likely improving things after 01Z. Will be
hard-pressed to not include at least VCTS for most sites tomorrow
afternoon. Overnight issues could include MVFR/IFR CIGS. 41
