Thick line of storms exploding on 242 between the Woodlands and Splendora.

Had a very brief shower in Stafford. Looks like we are in a dry pocket. Showers all around us according to the radar in my husband's vehicle. Home now, just cloudy and overcast.

Good news folks: SPC no longer has SE Tx in a marginal severe wx risk.

Good news folks: SPC no longer has SE Tx in a marginal severe wx risk.

I would rather be in the risk area. Badly need the rain. Looks like we arent getting any over here in Rosharon again.

Good news folks: SPC no longer has SE Tx in a marginal severe wx risk.

getting hammered here in baytown

[StormOne]

Good news folks: SPC no longer has SE Tx in a marginal severe wx risk.

I would rather be in the risk area. Badly need the rain. Looks like we arent getting any over here in Rosharon again.

We can still get a good amount of rain without being in a severe risk area. Look at the rainfall totals over Harris County tonight. Don't need severe weather to get a good amount of rain

My concern is that this may have saturated our grounds, so that any rain that falls tomorrow and Monday in today's affected areas would have a higher flooding risk.

[houstonia]

Thunder and light rain in southwest Houston. The sky has a weird, almost wintertime look, so I'm thinking the front is moving through?
Cold fronts in the summer are always strange to me. The clouds look like November, but the temperatures are all summer!

[Cromagnum]

Well, radar is showing that all of this is going to slide East right past us again. Southern counties just arent getting any relief.

[BlueJay]

Liquid gold at our house!

MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0564...CORRECTED
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
906 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2016

CORRECTED FOR TYPO IN HEADER

AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEASTERN TX...SOUTHWESTERN LA

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE

VALID 140100Z - 140700Z

SUMMARY...HEAVY RAINS TO CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN TX OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. HEAVY RAIN THREAT MAY RETURN TO SOUTHWESTERN LA
OVERNIGHT.

DISCUSSION...CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO FIRE AND SETTLE
SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH AS ENHANCED CONVERGENCE NEAR A LOW LEVEL
CENTER INTERACTS WITH THE ANOMALOUS MOISTURE THAT IS IN PLACE
ACROSS THE REGION. THE LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS PWS OF 2.4-2.5
INCHES POOLING NEAR THIS LOW LEVEL CENTER. FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS -- WHILE DIFFERING ON THE
DETAILS...THE LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE...INCLUDING THE 23 UTC
OPERATIONAL AND PARALLEL RUNS OF THE HRRR...SHOWS LOCALLY HEAVY
AMOUNTS CENTERED ACROSS THE UPPER TX COAST COUNTIES. MEANWHILE
SOME LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS MAY ALSO STRETCH FURTHER TO THE
NORTHEAST ALONG AN AXIS ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE EXTENDING
BETWEEN THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW AND ANOTHER LOW FURTHER TO THE
NORTH OVER NORTHERN LA. ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN LA...MOST OF THE
HI-RES GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A RELATIVE LULL IN THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT
UNTIL LATER IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS (AROUND 6 UTC) AS THE LOW LEVEL
FLOW AMPLIFIES ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN LA...ONCE AGAIN RAISING THE
THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY AMOUNTS/FLASH FLOODING ACROSS AREAS
ALREADY INUNDATED WITH HISTORIC AMOUNTS.

GOES 14 Super Rapid Scan of the Louisiana heavy rain event
This is an animation of GOES 14 Super Rapid Scan showing the tropical downpours associated with a low pressure system that have brought prolific amounts of rain into southern Louisiana where totals of 20 to 30 inches have been reported in the past couple of days. More heavy rain of 2 to 5 inches is expected to fall from western Louisiana into eastern Texas through Sunday evening. Although the rain is expected to be less heavy than in previous days, flash flooding remains a serious concern. Check the latest WPC Storm Summary for additional details.
