Similar look to yesterday in my backyard. Looks like Independence Day alien ship arrival all over again.

Rain chances for this afternoon have been lowered across the board. The excitement was fun while it lasted. As we turn the page into June, and right on que, we start looking south, instead of north, for new opportunities for rain events.

Hopefully this will be a summer without a drought and triple digits. I would be delighted with a summer full of low 70’s ranging low 90’s with a 50/50 shot each day for sea breeze downpours.

Unfortunately, asking for the Houston summer to mimic Tampa Bay may be asking too much, at least in most years.

That’s about the best I could ask for.... if Summer 2007 happened again, I’d be happy.

Rain chances are definitely on the rise for this weekend, especially for tomorrow. Models are looking quite yet.

First I’ve seen this. I wasn’t paying much attention because rain chances were near 0 for this weekend but I just checked and it’s 60%. What changed?

An ULL parked over the northern mountains of Mexico was originally forecasted to drift west away from us but now it’s slowly drifting east towards us and pumping in a lot of Gulf moisture.

The ULL and Ridge to the east of us will have to be watched as that could pull a system in our direction if something were to develop in the Bay of Campeche region.

Yes but also I’m pretty sure the ULL would shear the system apart and provide unfavorable conditions for development?

Moisture fetch from the Gulf will be on the rise a lot too. P-Wats for tomorrow afternoon are foretasted to be over 2 inches in some parts which would be nearly two standard deviations above average. It really just depends on how much mid/upper level lift we get near the convective temperature. Either way plenty of moisture will be available.

Models have the ULL moving over North Texas by early week, but is still something to monitor. With that said, models still show pretty strong westerlies across the gulf for much of the weak. IF anything forms in the gulf it's likely to be pretty sheared, but pretty typical for this time of the year. I'm still not sure how successful the Kelvin wave will be transitioning from the Pacific to the Atlantic. If anything, this setup reminds me of one of those deep into the BOC storms. Something to monitor for sure though.

Yes it certainly could, but shear doesn't necessarily mean no development you can still have development of a weak to moderate lopsided tropical storm depending on how strong the shear is. Shear would help to keep the system in check though,from developing into anything more substantial. But as we all know here in Southeast Texas all it takes is a tropical storm to cause problems.Saying that if anything were to develop 9 times out of 10 this time of year it should be weak,but rainfall potential could be high due to monsoonal pacific moisture.

The number of ensembles members that show development have substantially increased in the 12z EURO today fwiw.

Yep, it will be time to watch the GOM next week. Hopefully only some tropical moisture and nothing else.

Many of those members are showing anywhere from
a strong tropical storm to a moderate cane.

GFS has a tropical system moving in followed by a mid-June cold front. The teasing starts early!

Amending - Euro, Canadian, ICON buying in as well to the tropical system.
