Wow. Looks like south texas is getting more action than we have or WERE supposed to get! Oh well, i hope we get some beneficial rains through the week.

[Texaspirate11]

I got about 2.5 inches by the bay... no biggie
but grateful not Baton Rouge.

South Texas could use the rain.

Latest line collapsed on approach from west - outflow outran it. New ones to the east - I'm caught in no-man's land for now.

Picked up another .79 in my gauge while taking a Sunday afternoon nap. That makes 9.4 inches in my gauge since yesterday morning. Looking at the next 7 days, the Quantitative Precipitation Forecast suggests rain chances will continue daily, so expect some decent rainfall totals across the Region into at least next Sunday.

552 PM CDT Sun Aug 14 2016

.UPDATE...
Extending the watch through 7:00 AM tomorrow morning. Will have a surface boundary over the area along with a very moist airmass -- the PWS are forecast to be around 2.5 inches through the rest of the evening into the overnight hours. Storms were beginning to fire up again and rainfall rates were reach near 2 inches or more an hour.

[Cromagnum]

Just got an inch yesterday and another quarter inch today. Hope it picks up becuase this aint gonna cut it.

Awesome! Still a bit steamy though.

[srainhoutx]

Active unsettled pattern looks to continue throughout the coming week. The Weather Prediction Center continues to advertise a Slight Risk for Excessive Rainfall possibly continuing into Tuesday.

[djmike]

Extremely quiet in here this morning. Monday blues?

[StormOne]

Training storms beginning to develop along a line from Seabrook to Kingwood.

Monday morning briefing from Jeff:

Heavy rainfall threat continues over SE TX today and likely again on Tuesday

Wet weather will continue for much of the week

Upper trough axis clearly evident over SW to N TX this morning with a large shield of rainfall cross much of C and N TX this morning. Locally, bands of showers and thunderstorms are moving northward off the NE Gulf of Mexico into our western counties from Matagorda Bay to near I-10. Radar has really shown an increase in development in the last hour along what appears to be a convergent boundary rom Galveston Bay WSW to central Brazoria and central Matagorda Counties.

Air mass remains extremely moist with CRP morning sounding showing 2.43 in PW and LCH 2.16 in. Areas east of a line from College Station to Galveston are seeing some breaks in the overcast this morning and this will likely result in an expansion of the showers and thunderstorms ENE across more of the area as the day progresses.

Storm motions are certainly faster with deep southerly flow in place, but this same flow is favorable for storms to band in lines and potentially train over the same areas piling up rainfall. With such a moist air column in place rainfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour remain possible under the stronger storms. Will favor the SW/W counties for the bulk of the rainfall and potential training today, but the threat does remain across the entire region.

Little change in the air mass moving forward with very moist profiles remaining in place much of the week. It is not going to take much if any heating to get things going especially on Tuesday. The pattern may transition to more diurnal in nature toward the end of the week as moisture decreases a bit and the air mass requires more heating to fire off convection.
