We are following closely here in Western North Carolina. It brings back so many bad memories of late last September as Helene impacted this Region. I recall the 1987 flood event for Kerr County. I am so devastated that so many young people have been impacted. How many times have warm cored remnant low of dying tropical systems brought devastating impacts in Texas and particularly the Hill Country?

I know hurricane remnants and warm core low pressures have caused heavy rain and flooding. Most of these flood events happen at night, usually after midnight.srainhoutx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 8:52 pm We are following closely here in Western North Carolina.

That cell to the northwest of Austin may be the beginning of tonight's activity? It is a slow moving and strong storm.
I think that’s possible, but the mesos aren’t really showing much happening tonight.TexasBreeze wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 11:34 pm That cell to the northwest of Austin may be the beginning of tonight's activity? It is a slow moving and strong storm.

Warm core event? 16 inches of rain fell in that spot overnight.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 11:42 pmI think that’s possible, but the mesos aren’t really showing much happening tonight.TexasBreeze wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 11:34 pm That cell to the northwest of Austin may be the beginning of tonight's activity?

That’s why I said it’s possible. Mesos didn’t have that happening when I looked around 10-11pm last night though. And that’s why I said yesterday that I would expect it to blow up again overnight if it’s a warm core event.Cromagnum wrote: ↑Sat Jul 05, 2025 9:01 amWarm core event? 16 inches of rain fell in that spot overnight.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 11:42 pmI think that’s possible, but the mesos aren’t really showing much happening tonight.TexasBreeze wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 11:34 pm That cell to the northwest of Austin may be the beginning of tonight's activity?

This is a "classic" core rain event from a warm core low. Big droughts love to end in floods down here. A very dangerous situation.My heart goes out to all those impacted and those lost or still missing.
