I like the new "Inundation Map" feature https://www.harriscountyfws.org/ If you zoom in on the gauge at Little Cypress at Becker (out of banks) it shows the expected area flooding
Possible round 2 today? Bumped up rain chances to 50%

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
349 AM CDT Mon May 21 2018
.DISCUSSION...
At 300 AM, radar was rather quiet with just a few showers near Matagorda bay. Short term guidance is bullish with redevelopment over much of the CWA between 09-12z. Yesterday, the Hi_Res ARW outperformed every other model but it seems overdone today as the air mass should be worked over. 06z surface analysis shows several boundaries lying across SE TX and these features will likely serve as a focus for additional shra/tsra today. Fcst soundings show convective temperatures in the mid 80's so would expect development beginning later this morning and continuing into the afternoon. NAM soundings much more unstable than the GFS with PW values approaching 2.00 inches by 21z while the GFS is only 1.60. 850m mb temps are cooler so trimmed a few degrees from previous forecast Max T. Will broad brush 50 PoPs today with lower rain chances near the coast this afternoon. Rain should end early this evening with the loss of heating. Could get some patchy fog by early Tuesday morning as skies slowly clear.
An upper level ridge over northern Mexico will expand into Texas through the mid week with a gradual increase in temperatures. PW values remain below 1.50 inches and convective temperatures are in the upper 80's. Subsidence from the expanding ridge should limit convective potential but fcst soundings show weak capping that could be overcome with heating. Can't rule out isolated showers so will carry 20 PoPs through the period.
The end of the week is looking more interesting. Both the Canadian and the ECMWF try develop low pressure over the southern Gulf, both models vary in their respective placements, with the ECMWF farther west. The GFS keeps an open wave and moves this feature toward the FL peninsula. The Memorial Day weekend forecast will be tied to how this system eventually evolves. FWIW, WPC currently has a weak low over south central Louisiana and for now will lean in that direction. Will keep rain chances in the forecast through the holiday weekend, especially over the eastern half of the CWA. Confidence is low and the forecast will likely change several times by the time next weekend rolls around. It'd be a good idea to keep up with the forecasts for next weekend. 43

A quick look ahead toward the Long Memorial Day Weekend and what our weather may bring. Let me echo what HGX stated this morning regarding a very low confidence in the forecast beyond Thursday/Friday with the potential of a weak surface low and sharp upper trough developing across the Central Gulf of Mexico. At this time we do NOT believe that anything tropical will form at this time, but a very large area of disturbed weather is situated in the Western Caribbean Sea this morning associated with a broad area of monsoonal gyre lower pressures extending from the Eastern Pacific across Central America into the Western Caribbean Sea.
The ensembles suggest that height falls aloft and lowering pressures at the surface begin to enter the Southern Gulf on Thursday and a weak surface low develops on Friday. Abundant deep tropical moisture will attend this feature and heavy flooding rainfall maybe possible during the long Holiday weekend roughly from East Texas to Florida along the West Central Gulf Coast and inland ahead of a slow moving frontal boundary. We expect many changes throughout the coning week as the guidance attempts to resolve this developing storm system and the potential heavy rainfall threat mainly along the Louisiana Gulf Coast and points E. Stay Tuned!

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
830 AM EDT Mon May 21 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Widespread cloudiness and showers extending from the northwestern
Caribbean Sea across Cuba and the Florida peninsula are associated
with the interaction of a large upper-level low with a weak surface
trough. While environmental conditions are expected to be
unfavorable for development during the next couple of days, some
gradual development is possible later this week while the system
moves into the central or eastern Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rainfall is possible across western Cuba
and Florida over the next several days. For more information on
the heavy rain threat, please see products issued by your local
weather office. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook on this
system will be issued by 800 PM EDT tonight.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Monday morning briefing from Jeff:
Additional showers and thunderstorms likely today over the region.
Low level moisture is making a return to the region this morning after being pushed southward yesterday evening by the complex of storms that moved out of central TX. Air mass is already heating and trigger/convective temperatures in the mid 80’s suggest storms will begin to fire on the inland moving seabreeze fronts by mid to late morning becoming numerous by early afternoon. Air mass remains moist and slow storm motions again today suggest heavy rainfall is the primary threat. Do not expect as much storm organization as Sunday as we do not have a weak short wave approaches from the WSW.
Rainfall totals today will average generally less than .50 of an inch for most locations, but isolated locations will see 2-3 inches in a very short period of time. Street flooding will be the main concerns as grounds remain generally dry over the area…except for those areas of NW Harris/SW Montgomery County where 4-6 inches of rain fell on Sunday.
Upper level ridge begins to build into TX from the SW on Tuesday and this should help to lower rain chances. Ridge never fully gains a strong foothold like last week, so think daily (20%) rain chances look good through the middle of the week. May need slightly higher rain chances Thursday and Friday with deeper moisture and a weak short wave across the area.
Hydro:
Flows moving down Spring and Cypress Creeks will result in a rise along the West Fork of the San Jacinto River today into Tuesday. The river is currently forecast to rise to near 46.7 feet which is still roughly 3 ft below flood stage of 49.3ft. Expect additional rainfall today to be scattered enough as to not significantly affect the current river forecast.
Gulf of Mexico/Memorial Day Weekend:
A surface trough appears to be forming in the SW Caribbean Sea and this feature is expected to gradually lift NNW/NW over the next several days into the SE Gulf of Mexico. While conditions appear to be fairly unfavorable for any sort of tropical development…at least in the near term…conditions potentially become a bit better once the system is in the Gulf by the end of this week. The ECMWF and some of the other global guidance brings a slow moving and very large feature toward the Louisiana coast Memorial Day weekend and lingers it in that area for days. The GFS takes a weaker open wave type feature toward FL. Both solutions seem plausible at the moment and it is too soon to attempt to determine if and where any sort of tropical or sub-tropical system may form.
NHC has just released a Special Tropical Weather Outlook on this feature and gives it a 20% chance of development over the next 5 days. Regardless of any development, widespread excessive rainfall appears to be an increasing threat for portions of the US Gulf coast by this weekend.
Locally, the forecast will hinge on how far west any sort of Gulf feature would drift and if the deep tropical moisture associated with any system would arrive into SE TX. For now will go with 30% rain chances for the Memorial Day weekend into the following week, but will need to keep an eye on how things evolve over the Gulf.

Popcorn sea breeze showers popping up tantalizingly close. Hope we see one or two IMBY. New rain gauge emptied, poised, and ready. Fill'er up!
GFS is a bit wetter than last week through early June, with a half inch to inch of rain/week. Topical development near Florida against in late May.

Cypress, Dobbin, Addicks and Memorial.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
A flood advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding
of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.

that was some scary/crazy lightning here, sounded like a bomb at one point - lost power for a bit, internet & phones for about an hr

look at the 5 & 10 minute data - nearly 1/2" in 5 minutes at one point, over 3/4" in 10
we won't have to water for a little while
