June 2020

[BlueJay]

We are having a hefty thunderstorm now.

[cperk]

Rain chances seem to be getting lower and lower each day for this week. Shouldn’t be surprised though because that’s how 2020 has been. Looks good in the medium/long range only to go somewhat poof the closer it gets. Be lucky to get an inch this week. The GFS was right the whole time. The Euro lost this battle.

I got close to an inch yesterday so if I can squeeze a couple more inches out this week I will be a happy camper.

[Cromagnum]

I got between 1.5 to 2 inches since Saturday. Looks like showers are more widespread so far today.

Not sure what you are looking at, as the radar this morning says otherwise.... It isn't a good idea to look a low resolution global models for rainfall amounts this time of year,especially due to the mesoscale driven nature of this setup. And some areas have already seen more than an inch of rain with more rain to come today and the rest of the week.

I’m looking at the WPC 7 day QPF forecast. It says about 1-2” on average for SETX when it was showing more a couple days ago. We didn’t receive any rainfall over the week like a lot of others on here did. Plus it seems like the theme this year with the rain is that it will look promising a few days out, only to halfway disappear as we get closer. The radar does look nice now though, I will admit that. I’m also comparing the GFS vs Euro precip forecast. The Euro had us getting widespread amounts of 5-10” for several runs in a row where the GFS only said about an inch or two which is looking like the more likely outcome per the WPC QPF forecast.

I already got 2 inches just today

[unome]

my family who lives where they seldom see mega drought & ashes from fires raining down on your home don't understand why I love cloudy, rainy days so much - this morning's rain was quite welcome

not looking forward to Saharan dust though - will have to stay indoors

Pretty violent storm here in Stafford right now.

Keep in mind that the WPC QPF forecast are broad brush and don't account for localized areas that could see much higher totals. Just from this line of storms alone most of metro Houston should see 1-2 inches of rain.My street is already flooded..., in fact based on today average rainfall may need to be raised to 2-4+ inches with localized higher amounts instead of the 1-3 inches on average I said yesterday. As rain chances increase even more starting tomorrow through Thursday.We will have to watch for any stalled boundaries that could be a focus point for slow/training storms as the week progresses.

About those high PWAT values and supercharged airmass. Mercy this is some efficient rain and lightning production. Healthy doses of nitrogen for the yards.

Hasn’t let up in Stafford at all.

Just picked up another inch here Richmond and the days young.

Generally, true. The good news is that I don't see a Death Ridge forming for the next 10 days.

Survive and advance!

We need to watch Wednesday/Thursday as the 12z models show a pretty potent disturbance moving into Southeast Texas and slowing down over the area.

[Cpv17]

It’s absolutely pouring buckets here at my job in Rosenberg. We’re halfway flooded over here already and the lightning/thunder is nonstop. Hoping we picked up some at the house in Wharton.

[Rip76]

Stay off the SouthBelt

[tireman4]

All this will help us during the Summer

[txbear]

I know the CWA is progged to get additional storms through Thursday, but I'm curious as to how worked over the atmosphere is and what impact that will have at least on chances for tomorrow. The storms today were pretty hefty, and not sure how much of that energy got zapped today.

[don]

The air mass should recover by tomorrow from the influx of moisture from the gulf due to the onshore flow.But Wednesday/Thursday seems to be the days this week that have the best chances of heavy rain.
