Some of us may get something tomorrow but I doubt it’ll be much.

Cpv17 yup, looks like storm coverage was a bit more widespread than anticipated, got 1.5 inches here and i see another decent cluster of storms moving in from the south here within the next 30-45 minutes, if we keep repeat this daily in the summer, we will be in good shape ilas far as keeping drought conditions in check

Hot over the week ahead with SE ridging developing with a FROPA next weekend. Trifecta on the front in a week: Euro, GFS, CMC.

Man I haven’t followed this system really close but the models I looked at leading up to this have busted in location big time. This was going to be all mostly central Texas and hill country from what I saw. I’m in Cypress and it’s been a washout since about 2:00 or so.

Heavy rainfall has broken down into two clusters over the area with a decreasing trend elsewhere.

Still some heavy rainfall is occurring in the blue circled areas.

Hires guidance shows a general decreasing trend into the evening and gradual shift northward with the heavier activity away from areas that received heavy rainfall today

0.86 inches IMFY. Good enough

4.37 in. for April...a good thing since only

10.34 inches of rain for the year. Survive and advance.

In CLL the next question is - when does the spigot shut off? May? June? July?
