Well, points south of houston got pretty wet last night. North of houston, if you sneezed you missed it.
This system is a named dud, truth be known. However look down in the BOC today.

Yeah I was wondering about this. Convection looks to be really firing off. Surprised because it looks healthier now than it has ever.biggerbyte wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 10:30 am Well, points south of houston got pretty wet last night. North of houston, if you sneezed you missed it.

Been here for years since Katrina.
I think that pile of junk is getting it's act together.
Meh, it looks better than yesterday for sure, but still not impressed with it. It probably found a pocket of low shear on the S side and DMAX helped it out. I’m just not a fan of wasting names on borderline storms.
What a bust...this was one of the bigger bust in a while. LOL 
We're getting some of that tiny droplets, misty tropical rain. There won't be much accumulation, but any cloudy wet days in the summer in CLL are good days.
This has been progged as a largely a south of I-10 event for over 48 hours. NWS progged their solution consistently south of the models. That's why model iteration watches that change every 4 hours are pretty close to useless, especially with the initial conditions unknown.biggerbyte wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 10:30 am Well, points south of houston got pretty wet last night.

The short-term forecast is not a bust. Alberto (aka strawberry lemonade) was a weak, lemonade system from the get go. The model forecasts swung back and forth and struggled until about 48 hours out because the initial conditions were undefined. The guesswork prior to that brought a CoC too far north and thus overestimated the flux of tropical GoM air into SETX...and underestimated the east coast ridge.
Having said that, it's a very weaksauce named storm.
So far. The Valley and southern Hill Country could see some scoreboard on the rainfall and the CoC moves into northern Mexico. We'll see.
Heck I’m not complaining. I’ve gotten just shy of 2 inches in Santa Fe. My veggies and grass are loving it.
No surprise, but flooding in Rockport.
Still raining on and off. But windy. My rain gauge is just shy of 2 inches. Lucky I guess. 
Interesting the rain has started again, let’s see how long it last.
Decent feeder band coming in and looks to run right up 45 from Galveston
