0.75 in IMBY overnight. Good enough to have sprinklers OFF in the week ahead.

Light rain and cool as the low spins overhead. AC isn't running - I'll take it.

Atmosphere too worked over, or do you thing some heating could fire up a few storms.

Would you take your top off of your Jeep is what I’m asking.

We had 0.83" in the swamps of Pearland overnight. Luckily, no standing water in the yard when we got up.

So that low-level circulation that looks eerily like something Allison-ish that's slowly meandering northeastward just north of the Greater Houston area is definitely going to keep going, right?!?

Asking for a friend.

So this was the biggest system for the whole month of May and I couldn’t even get an inch of rain from it. I know some folks saw a lot of rain but for my neighborhood it was pretty much a bust.

I’m sorry to hear that Jason. I was really pulling for ya and hoping you’d get at least 2 or 3” out of this. It was a very hyped system and it definitely didn’t live up to the expectations for the majority of us.

Euro, Ensemble, Canadian, GFS have 0.5 - 1.5 in of rain until near the end of the month and an alleged cold front. We probably have a week without watering ahead with 1.6 in of rain in the past 4 days.


Jason - The models have had so much trouble lately, that you're due some mojo!

A surprise shower and 0.1 in this morning.

Euro, GFS, Canadian, Ensemble all have 1 inch of rain or less for the remainder of the month...

Last year we had 9.76 in of rain in May and 10 inches of precip. in June!

It’s about that time we need to start paying attention to the tropics. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like the 12z Euro has a tropical wave threatening the upper TX coastline towards the end of the run. Golden Triangle area gets a lot of rain on this run.

It’s gyre season folks! Time to start watching the monsoonal trough near the ITCZ. We have to watch the western Caribbean and southern GOM. There’s a strong signal for something to spin up down there around late May/early June and the EPS has us at above normal precip during that time period.

Big changes with the 12z model suite this afternoon. Things are looking wet again starting later this week into next week. Now we look for some consistency.

Yep. It feels like I shoved a bottle of El Yucateco up my backside and I am standing on my head. This weather is for the birds.
