June 2026

Also, beautiful blue skies and sunshine in Beaumont. Who would’ve thought with a TS or remnants to our south.

I mean this is a very common theme for early june storms, shear even if this was a la nina year, shear is particularly strong over the gulf this time of year, particularly westerly shear, so not surprising this one was ugly.

I'm in Beaumont too. While it's not raining, I definitely can't see the beautiful blue skies. It's very cloudy.

Mix of sun and clouds here with breezy SE winds

This storm looks to have split with the COC still hanging around Matagorda moving what appears to be SW. This was supposed to be in passing offshore of Galveston around now. However, it looks like all of the MLC is south of the TX/LA border now. Wouldn't that be wild if the COC made it back over Matagorda Bay into the Gulf.. LOL (not that it would matter, the dry air and shear would not allow it to do much).

Yep. Arthur is just a kid's lemonade stand. It never got things together. Ironically in no-man's land on the coast but not over water. It's an all east sider with COC and showers completely separate.

And the shear in the Gulf now is all on the eastern side.



Survive and advance.

Same here. I'll sign up for 80s and mostly cloudy all summer. You could really see that crystal clear tropical air yesterday evening...now back to the dirty stuff tomorrow. lol

[djmike]

Ok, Arthur can die out now. Im ready for the next event. This has been the least active tropical storm Ive ever seen in my life. Definitely not worth naming!

[Stratton20]

Careful what you wish for , and it met the criteria for a tropical storm, closed low, sufficient enough organized convection and pressure drop, and winds at 40 mph, definitely one of the ugliest tropical storms ive ever seen , but it still is a tropical storm none the less. Regardless that might be the only storm we see again until august, and even then el nino and wind shear is going to make it very difficult for systems to form

[jasons2k]

The windfield on the NW side of this thing is so small, it’s pulling away without even shifting the winds up here. What a slopfest.

Golden Triangle needs to look out overnight still for potential flooding rains near the core.

Just my opinion, but seems like every storm that forms in the gulf lately seems to always have a sheared mess away from the center of circulation. We didn’t use to see naked swirls like we do now Again just my opinion.

It’s common in early season storms, especially in an El Niño. They’re usually heavily weighted to the east side of the center.

It may have met the criteria, but I still can’t stand when they name crap like this.

[Pas_Bon]

I don’t know how Galveston County will ever recover.

[Stratton20]

Cpv17 I get that, it definitely is an ugly system for sure. But i do think its important that they name it even if its a very sloppy system , i feel like the general public would turn a blind eye to a system like this if it wasn’t named. But notice how as soon as it was officially declared Arthur, the public started taking it more seriously, funny how that works

A World Cup game in Houston and tropical storm. Houston's second World Cup game, which was Democratic Republic of the Congo vs Portugal. How often does that happen?

[djmike]

Good riddance Arthur! …next!

And Portugal lost! Renaldo with the big goose egg.

This weekend is our next best chance of rain. Next week is very hot and humid...while less rain is progged... I'm seeing NW flow aloft across the board...over a ridge south of us. There's hope. Give me NW flow all summer. Euro and Euro AI have some FROPAs nudging our way late in the month.

[jasons2k]

Wow. After all that probably the weakest cyclone I’ve ever experienced. It seemed to crank for a minute and decoupled into nothing.

[Cpv17]

Don’t need any rain here at all at the moment, but I wouldn’t mind a couple more inches this weekend before the faucet turns off next week. Once it turns off, no telling when it’ll come back on.
