Trained weather spotters reported golf ball hail near Goodrich.

[wxman666]

I am looking at Doppler radar and notice storms north of Houston. Looks like they are moving south slowly. Any comments on it?

Getting stronger and producing some significant hail. See Severe Thunderstorm Warning above.

Does it appear the storms will be pushing on through srain? If so, will they weaken?

I know. It sure looked that way to me. Not sure if that meant N of Cypress or north of Harris co. Either way. We'll see.

[wxman666]

Hey guys. Let's keep an eye on that radar. Looks like storms are still going and backbuilding.
