The WPC has now cut back on totals as well. Probably cuz the mesos don’t show much.

Cool and cloudy up here: 68°F with 55°F DP. Enjoying one last day. There are some showers moving through - although I expect any measurable rain to be north of here due to the trough.

Assuming a turnaround on winds tomorrow.

lol This is one uncertain forecast!

Forecast has uncertainty. There could be surprises.

Yep, this site and Storm2k have both been acting up for at least a month now. They seem to alternate with each other. Very slow load times. Here lately it’s been this site acting up and S2K has been fine.

As far as today goes, I still don’t see anything on the mesos to warrant a high chance of rain. This is going to be an interesting day to see how this plays out. I truly don’t know.

I see the NWS has parts of the CWA at 40 percent and some parts at 50 percent. I would keep it that way (IMHO). This is a tricky tricky forecast. Some folks will get rain, where others might not. Those that do, it could come in serious amounts. I think the best view is to be aware and make sure to keep up with the latest forecasts. I can tell you the ingredients are there for some torrential downpours ( PWATS are at 1.75). Looking at the northern parts of our area, there are serious rainfall amounts being amassed.

And just like that, the WPC now only has us getting around half an inch over the next 7 days. Definitely looking like a pretty big bust.

Bust here so far, but there could be an MCS rapidly descending from the north tonight. It will still probably die at the Brazos Co. line. Another MCS from the southern Hill Country could move toward Houston.
