Not a single drop in brazoria cnty

Picked up a quick 2.25 inches here in Timbergrove in a little more than 30 minutes starting around 7. Absolutely electric storms out there tonight, just glad we were able to catch the tail end.

Brazoriatx979 same, it was a huge bust, thats why i never bought into the WPCs rainfall map, it always looks good until it doesnt, 0.00 across the board from this supposedly “ wet pattern “

It’s literally on your doorstep. I’ve been in it now for about 3 weeks.

Front has finally progressed down into the coastal counties along with showers and storms. Front will back northward later today.

Large areas of central and eastern Harris County saw 3-5 inches of rainfall overnight while areas out to the west saw much less.

Next storm system due in Tuesday with more storms.

Just because nothing happened in your neighborhood, doesn't make something a bust . Its the luck of the draw.

[Cromagnum]

Rain chances today and Monday went right back to basically 0%. We'll see what Tuesday's system does. At least I got enough rain to water in the fertilizer I spread last weekend.

Lots of slow moving to nearly stationary activity southwest of the metro area this morning producing much needed rainfall. Expect this to weaken into the afternoon hours

Widespread rain and a few thunderstorms continue across the area as the stalled front over the area slowly lifts northward

[DoctorMu]

Glad to see some rain in HOU, especially the SE areas, and today, even below I-10...as the front stalled.

0.77 in. up here. A good start. Only 3.68 inches for the year so far. Low 60s all day under clouds. Any day with the A/C and sprinkler system off is a good one in the Brazos Valley.

Tuesday evening and Wednesday should deliver more precip. and another Pacific FROPA.

...New DISCUSSION, MARINE...

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Stalled front near the coast lifts back north tonight. Look for
some fog development both inland and offshore.

- Mostly cloudy, warm and muggy through Tuesday.

- Next weather system and associated storms push through late
Tuesday night and Wednesday followed by cooler, breezy, and
seasonable conditions to end the week.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1259 PM CDT Sun Mar 8 2026

Shallow front remains stalled along the coast. Lingering moisture, a
messy mid-level, and a favorable jet pattern is allowing for
continued scattered showers & isolated storms. Greatest
concentration should generally be across southern parts of the CWA,
but there is enough isentropic lift for some isolated activity
further north. Look for this precip to wane later in the day. The
front itself should lift back inland tonight, and with the wet
ground, anticipate some fog development.

Mostly cloudy, warm and humid conditions should prevail Monday &
Tuesday. Isolated to widely scattered showers or tstms, mainly
diurnally driven, can`t be ruled out.

Mid-upper trof currently off the Baja coast will be our next weather
maker as it begins filling and ejecting eastward. With a tightening
pressure gradient, low level southerly flow will increase Tuesday
drawing some additional Gulf moisture into the area. By late Tuesday
night into Wednesday, we`ll have a 40-50kt LLJ in place and
increasing large scale lift as the trof and associated dryline and
front approach from the west. Would expect to see a band of showers
and storms develop to our wnw and track across the region during the
morning and afternoon hours (some possibly strong-severe), followed
by some potential wrap-around light rain for some spots into the
early evening. Though some brief heavy downpours are a possibility,
this looks like a pretty progressive pattern whereas flooding
possibilities should be quite localized, if any at all.

Cold front will fill in behind this system bringing breezy, drier,
and more seasonal conditions to the area Thursday and Friday. A
gradual warming trend is expected this weekend, but the overall wx
still looks quite pleasant. 47

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 612 AM CDT Sun Mar 8 2026

A stalled boundary near the coast will continue scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms along and south of I-10 through the
morning. TS chances decrease through the morning, but scattered
shower activity will be possible through the afternoon. The
boundary will slide to the north late this afternoon or evening,
ending the rain chances and returning southerly flow to the
region.

LIFR to IFR conditions are currently being seen across the region
with CIGs around 200-500ft and patchy, but dense fog. CIGs will
slowly lift to around 1000-1500ft by the late morning. There may
be a period of VFR conditions around 22-00z, but IFR to LIFR
conditions quickly return overnight with ceilings again decreasing
to around 200-500ft.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1259 PM CDT Sun Mar 8 2026

A stalled cold front along the coast will continue to bring
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon before
lifting back north this evening. Areas of fog will likely redevelop
overnight as this occurs, some of which could be dense from the mid
bays southward. Visibility should improve toward late morning
Monday. Fog is again probable Monday night, but it is not looking as
widespread or dense except maybe the nearshore Gulf waters. By late
Tuesday night, southerly winds appear strong enough to mitigate any
low visibilities. Otherwise, increasing onshore winds and building
seas are anticipated Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of the next storm
system that will be pushing through the area. Combination of
SCA/SCEC conditions probably needed by Tue evening. Expect storms
ahead of a cold front that will be moving off the coast Wednesday
afternoon...followed by drier conditions, but strong north winds
25g30-35kt and 6-10ft seas in its wake. Light onshore flow resumes
Thurs night. 47

Looks very dry beyond wednesday, i think we can agree that we should just hit the skip button on the next 5 months of weather down here, unless its rainfall
