Decent chance for a shot of rain this afternoon and evening?

[Katdaddy]

A cold front will move across SE TX this afternoon and evening. The SPC has a marginal risk area for most of SE TX. A line of showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the front. A few of the thunderstorms could become severe.

[Cpv17]

Sneaky severe weather setup today. Marginal risk could be under doing it. It’s calm, hot, and humid out. Seems like ideal conditions for severe weather.

[Cromagnum]

Sun is full tilt now too

.UPDATE...

Regional temperatures have risen into the lower to middle 80s /
lower 70 dew points just downstream of an approaching cold front.
Morning southern propagating gravity waves not only assisted in
clearing out AM skies but may have also inhibited late morning
into early afternoon towering cumulus development. Clear skies
will allow temperatures to warm to around 90 F by 3 PM, eroding a
weak 85H cap noted on the ACARS soundings. This will occur in
tandem with the weak frontogenesis to possibly initiate development
and downstream evolution of central CWA discrete cells. Thus,
still anticipating shower and thunderstorm development to begin
later this afternoon over more southern counties as this frontal
boundary interacts with the local sea breeze boundary within a
heated and unstable late afternoon air mass. Much potential in the
thermo (i.e., CAPE) with little in the dynamic (i.e., shear) so
it is a definite `watch and wait` scenario through the mid
afternoon hours.

[Cromagnum]

Looks like a couple hot spots beginning to flare up with the sea breeze.

Well crap. Looks like the stupid cap is holding strong as ever.

[Rip76]

Boom, right on time.

[Katdaddy]

A nice view of the storms that fired over Central Harris County headed down my way in W League City.

[Cromagnum]

Hope I'm wrong but looks like bupkis in Rosharon.

Brazos Bend State Park got hammered this evening!! That area definitely needed a good rain.

While that is true.. so do I! The sea breeze ignited just south of me and got left out again

I am going to be putting up a new fence this weekend. Weather should be nice but it’d be easier with some nice rain a few days beforehand! Digging the post will suck with a nice hard clay

There’s another chance on Friday so maybe you’ll get something then!

use a soaker hose, you can get 100' for under $25 & it's a small price to pay for saving your back. We used them to water our foundation perimeter during the drought years back, keeps it from cracking - worth every penny & it won't waste water
