Fairly safe bet that just about everyone will at least see some rain. Rumbles of thunder now in NW Harris County.

Has the Dopplar Radar indicated any hail/strong wind gusts, srainhoutx?

Very heavy rainfall at my house in Sugar Land at the moment .... if this keeps up like this not sure that I will be able to make it to work tonight .... gotta drive to Seabrook.

[srainhoutx]

Nothing yet for Polk County sleet. About to start up here as well Dj. Good to see folks posting after a long dry spell.

[weatherguy425]

Hmm, the next disturbance is already lined up in the panhandle.

[djjordan]

long dry spell is an understatement ..... we really needed this ....glad to see it's here

[sleetstorm]

Seabrook is needless to say very close to Galveston Bay or whatever the name of that body of water is.

Interesting to see some training from Ft. Bend to W Harris County. Hmmm...

[sleetstorm]

I do not know about any of you, but it looks like that line storms, which has formed into a bow, just may be producing strong wind gusts.
