So, is Galveston Co. out of harms way tonight??? puuuhhhllleeeeze?????? (still mourning over the killed oak tree from Sat.)

Kayci I am sorry about your tree...my aunt lives in Texas City and never led on that the weather got that bad over there. I live in Santa Fe and I mean we had some pretty good lightning and heavy rain and winds but nothing to warrant downed trees.

As far as us being out of danger for tonight, I have been looking at the radar and I thought the storms were starting to pucker out, now I am not so sure....

[wxman57]

First area of storms did break apart. However, an outflow boundary from the storm in SE Harris County moved along the south 610 loop and developed a heavy storm over SW Houston. Just got 1.75" of rain in Westbury in about 20 min. That storm moved off to the west now.

[spadilly]

I'm sitting outside in spring valley watching it. This has to be one of the best displays of lightning I have ever seen. It's unbelieveable!

[gocuse22]

seems like sugar land is missing that storm.

[weatherguy425]

Watch central Texas! Along with the west the Harris County ceel to fire new storms along outflow boundaries.

[svrwx0503]

Keep an eye on the Washington County cell.

[djjordan]

Keep an eye on the Washington County cell.

I'm thinking we are about to see storm convergence between the Washington Co storm and the one in Western Harris / NE Fort Bend .... getting nasty!!!!

[weatherguy425]

Yeah, cells just blossomed... worried about boundary/Cell mergers in western Harris county later on.

[biggerbyte]

It's about to get nasty, folks. Storms and rain are moving in from the north and northwest. Along with that, we are also getting some home grown activity. Be on the lookout for some of this activity to be strong to severe, and everything that can go along with that.

From Houston's NWS:

Talked with SPC and thought it best to add some counties in the watch until midnight. Main concern are new cells going up in Washington...Waller and Montgomery. Really the northern part of Harris will be affected. Storm over SW Harris is weakening. Best storms right now are in Waller and Montgomery.
