I fully expected to check the radar and see a really solid line heading this way and instead i see its gonna be a big nothing here in Cypress unless it gets its act together real quick. I was hoping for a good evening storm

Guess I better try to mow the front yard while I can. Backyard is still a bog and smells like one too.

Yeah - my buddy over in Austin just got a real nice storm. It's a solid line to the west, a solid line the east, but the part headed to Houston just fell apart. I'd love to know the meteorological reason why it happened. A warm nose/cap? Maybe it's just a magic forcefield.

Dang. Looks like Beaumont isn’t going to get anything either. I was looking forward to a nice evening storm. Figures. Seems all storms nowadays always go poof by time it arrives in SETX. Use to be solid thick red squall lines. Oh well, time for the hot-ness.

You and me both. I’ve seen weird donut holes and the occasional split around a locale, but this is just boggling. Would wish one of our esteemed pro Mets could shed some light, if there is any at all.jasons2k wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:15 pmYeah - my buddy over in Austin just got a real nice storm.

I was out mowing and I think the line literally hit my backyard and underwent nuclear detonation as I was trying to beat the clock. From thick blue green clouds to bust in about 15 minutes. Maybe 0.1 in of rain.
I mean, the 200 cc Honda engine on the mower cuts through high St. Augustine grass like buttah...but never imagined it had the power to crush a late July line of t-storms.

Latest HRRR is an eye opener for some of us.

The line appears to be back-building...

Over the course of the day, the NWS has changed my rain chances three times for tonight. It was 50% in the morning package, then lowered to 30% in the afternoon update, and they just released an update to raise it to 70%. I hear lots of thunder but so far, nothing here.
