July 2026

Latest data suggest two systems. The one we spoke about yesterday concerning potential hurricane strength shows to be heading into the N.E... A suggested Hurricane in the Gulf looks to stall before being picked up by a trough. We will see. An active period is ahead, and all of this can change as we get closer to a system forming.

I hope WPC does the broken clock but right thing - love those QPF numbers. We're getting gapped right now, but the radar has filled up. We had nice showers both days this weekend. Need more accumulation, though!

Wow- no Death Ridge in sight through the end of the month. In fact, it may be even more unsettled as the month heads to a close.

Some GoM tropical action in the next week or so, with a system now progged to stall then eject NE near the Florida Gulf Coast.

Regular showers to football season? I've never seen it in a CLL summer, but fingers crossed! We're overdue.

Check out the summer we had in 2007.

Check out the summer we had in 2007.

In the Summer of 2007, we were in Europe and were in Rome in late June for the hottest day every recorded in Rome until a couple of years ago.

When we got back to College Station, July was cooler than normal with higher than average rainfall. August was near normal, with over 100°F in mid-August but cooler than normal early in the month. There was only 1.38 inches of rainfall in August up in CLL, though.

I'm advocating the double deuce - normal or above rainfall in July and August.

Crazy we’re having this weather in the middle of July

[Stratton20]

Yup! I think i picked up 3-4 inches alone from one cell today

I got .75” today. About 1.50” altogether so far.

It's the proverbial double edged sword, as the Hill Country and South Central Texas may see life-threatening flooding with entraining tonight and tomorrow.

South of Hwy 1*5 may see significant flooding.

3.5 inches in CoCo

An observation...as saturation points have been met ( and over), we are seeing efficient rain making cells move over the CWA. I fear that flooding will be an issue as we continue into the late morning hours ( there are flood advisories up) . I know flooding is happening in the Hill Country and will continue as we move into the afternoon hours. The atmosphere should be worked over as we hit the late evening hours, but 1-3 inch rainfall amounts will still be the norm in these cells.

3.5 inches in CoCo

About the same in College Station and counting.

Navasota on Hwy 1*5 has had 5 inches of rain and counting.

[Stratton20]

All i can say is, no death ridge pattern in sight because of whats happening in the pacific , MJO signal is essentially dead and nino forcing has taken over . On going WWB in the pacific will likely keep the tropical connection on going. Already in response to this WWB, models are beginning to see a trough carving out the eastern 2/3rds of the US as we head deeper into July. Not something you’d expect to see in the middle of summer, but thats whats on the table, i wont be surprised to see models trend wetter again in the medium- long range

4.51 inches of rain today IMFY with some street flooding and road closures locally, including our neighborhood and at Texas A&M - I was blocked twice on the way home.
