Oh boy, the one cell thats headed my way in this line has a tornado warning issued for it , definitely feeling slightly uncomfortable right now about that

Well hell, I slept right through a tornado warning. Anyway, just as I suspected, the storms were able to hold up. I didn’t really believe those dry runs of the HRRR yesterday. Drought is pretty much over now for us after that big rain. Now we have to deal with the mosquitoes.

Last I checked, we do not have mosquitoes in SE Texas.

This is a slow moving set of storms coming into the Metro area. I would not be surprised with urban street flooding or ponding on the roads.

I like Jeff, but he also said earlier this morning that the system should stay south of the metro area. Oopsies.
