Do we have to worry about anything else besides hard rain? Look at this from SPC:
...SYNOPSIS...
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE EWD OUT OF THE GREAT BASIN AND INTO THE
NRN ROCKIES DURING THE DAY WITH GRADUAL HEIGHT FALLS SPREADING EWD
ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS AS WELL. AT THE SURFACE...A LOW PRESSURE
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP FROM SERN MT INTO NERN WY WITH SELY SURFACE
WINDS MAINTAINING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE NWWD INTO ERN MT.
ELSEWHERE...A WEAK LEADING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL AFFECT THE UPPER MS
VALLEY WITH BOUTS OF RAIN AND STORMS...SOME WITH LOCALLY GUSTY
WINDS. MOISTURE AND WEAK INSTABILITY WILL ALSO EXIST OVER A LARGE
AREA FROM THE SRN PLAINS ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES WITH MAINLY
WEAK DAYTIME THUNDERSTORMS.
I trust today's storms have been "weak," yes? No supercells or winds in excess of 50 mph? Anybody have any stories to tell me, I'm all ears as always.
1.16" here today. That's 6.35" starting Monday and 11.95" for May.

The remnants of the ULL have been slow to drift SW today which ultimately helped to reduce rain chances throughout the day. Places around the Metro area, coast, and to the east saw storms but tomorrow should have better coverage across the whole area. It's always hard to forecast these type of slow moving systems especially with ridging building to the east and west of the low. Either way most places across the metro area have done well for the day, week, and month.

edit to add: shows that on the US view also ??? http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/comp/ceus/flash-rgb.html
in fact, all they have on the sat maps fronts are "H"s, maybe they need to ask Pat or Vanna for an "L" ;)
they fixed it :D

...THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON...
STORM MOTION WILL BE SLOW DURING THE DAY TODAY WHICH WILL ALLOW
RELATIVELY SMALL DOWNPOURS TO PRODUCE LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS
OF 2 TO 4 INCHES. THIS COULD RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING DUE TO
ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS. STRONGER CELLS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING 20 TO 45 MPH WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. THE
TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE WILL ALSO BE SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR A
FEW FUNNEL CLOUDS TO DEVELOP. MOST OF THE TIME THESE FEATURES DO
NOT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE SURFACE...HOWEVER THEY CAN AND
SOMETIMES DO WITH LITTLE WARNING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD WIND DOWN
THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING.

WOW! What a difference a few miles makes! My backyard is still dry and We are still rainless at my house.
Where is the front now? Not a drop here in Stafford. Very cloudy, but don't see any storm clouds. We did finally get a nice shower in the early evening hours yesterday.

Boy howdy, it looks like steering currents have collapsed. The showers/storms that are ongoing aren't even moving.
aside from a short shower just now, we've been dry the last day & 1/2, but still pretty nice for the week, so I can't complain

Raining in Stafford now, but skies look like they are clearing. Drove thru a pretty heavy downpour on Beltway while going for our coffee run.
Wow! It's really coming down now, but the skies look clear.
gulf looks kinda active today

If we look at divisional weather, October 2013 to April 2014 is the 23rd coolest on record. It ties with 1919, 1936, and 1937. The winter of 1935-1936 had some big freezes and was quite cold. The coldest October to April is 1976-1977, while warmest is 1998-1999.srainhoutx wrote:Good write up from NWS Houston/Galveston concluding the month of May.
