Fingers crossed the line weakens! The cap should win out though

Jailbreaks are still possible.

[Cpv17]

The line is now developing further south. Supercell currently over San Antonio.

[DoctorMu]

The cap and dry air in the mid levels have eroded somewhat. Don't count your chickens...until they are picked up by 70 mph winds!

At least near CLL.

Well the southern part of the line is definitely weakening appreciably, thats good news , cap holding strong

Good news for you maybe. Some of us would like some rain and a decent storm lol

Of course, when you say that, you get clapped with the line of storms.

[DoctorMu]

We have tacos.

Linear winds and actual rain. Not too bad so far.

The cold air has caught up with the line, so the severe threat is *probably* over.

I'd expect a broken line of storms moving east - good for the plants.

The trees are budding and leaves emerging nearly a month ahead of next year.

Yep just as expected. The GFS has been pretty consistent on a stormy pattern starting towards the middle of the month,we shall see.

It's raining here. Pretty hard.

Unfortunately, there's an outflow starting. It may run out of gas west of Katy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all.

[jasons2k]

Line is starting to fizzle, right on cue.

[Cromagnum]

Yep. Big old nothin burger for south of I10, maybe even all of our area based on radar. I don't understand how it can be so humid for a month, and when a front finally comes again there is no rain.

[DoctorMu]

But it wasn't the cap, as mid levels were increasing in moisture. The cold front took the legs out of the southern portion of the line, and generated an outflow. It will take until tomorrow for the line to reform in the warm sector.

[jasons2k]

Great, about to get a pile of yard debris for maybe 2 drops if anything.

[dp6]

Got 30 minutes of rain without any hail or wind damage, so today was pretty good to me.

[Cromagnum]

Driveway didn't even get damp here. What a joke.

[jasons2k]

Nothing here. So much for that 80% chance if rain. My weather app never got over 30% (most of the time it was 0%)

Scorecard for the most recent 2 weather events:

iOS Weather App - 2
NWS - 0

Facts are facts. Glad I watered on Wednesday.

And where the heck do you live?
