July 2020

[Rip76]

A nice squall just came through Friendswood.
So awesome.

Yep, August and September are the hot months for us, which makes sense as it is in the heart of the season.

I wonder when the last time a July storm has hit SETX? Just curious!

SETX?? Honestly probably Hurricane Claudette in 2003

Last storm to hit Texas in July ..Tropical Storm Don 2011

Surprised no one mentioned TS Claudette 1979. Remember 42 inches of rainfall at Alvin for 24 hours.

Formation odds for the new wave off Africa are up to a 40(medium) percent chance.

I would honestly give this wave about 60-70 percent chance over the next 5 days to develop.

Is Hanna ever going to fill in on the NE quadrant?

[Katdaddy]

2 quick Hanna showers with some gusty 20-25MPH in NW Galveston County.

Is Hanna ever going to fill in on the NE quadrant?

Looks like she is trying to based on radar im looking at

Looks like it is making the turn W to possibly WSW on satellite. Then again my eyes are crossed looking at it the past two days so I could be wrong.

Hanna's northern side is getting hammered by shear.

Looks like its moving due west

Question. If Hanna makes it to a hurricane as many models are hinting at before landfall, how will that affect us in Setx? Higher chance for rain and wind?

I'd say maybe more wind and less rain.

Interesting..the NWS just issued a Flash Flood Watch for Wharton County and the rest of the southern areas of SETX.

* Through Sunday morning

* The outer rain bands from Tropical Storm Hanna will bring periods
of heavy rainfall for portions of Southeast Texas. Rainfall totals

Wouldn't be shocked to see Hurricane Watches go out on the next advisory...
Invest 92L is now active too...

[jasons2k]

It’s getting pretty breezy up here now. Some decent gusts with the outflow that pushed out of that feeder band. Still not a drop of rain here though.

[sau27]

I know its a 240 hr forecast. But the past few Euro runs and the 12z Euro ensemble from a bit a go is a bit eye brow raising.

[djmike]

Wow. Squalls dumping quick heavy rains fast then move along here in beaumont. Last squall had a hefty wind gust with it too at 39 mph. Dogs ran inside like the world was ending. Lol

Yeah we need to watch that one. I would like some rain but don’t need a major hurricane in the Gulf. Seems like we go from one extreme to the other.

Honestly I’ve had my eye on this one ever since it was in the central part of Africa. This is the one I’ve feared the most. Could be big trouble for someone down the road and what makes it worse is there’s even more waves lining up across Africa along the ITCZ behind this one.
