The HRRR is having fits trying to figure this setup out.

Raining like crazy south of town since about 5 AM. Glad I mowed.

August Precip Climo - it looks like there is a dry donut hole right over Jason's neighborhood - validation

Hehe! Yep a big red/brown dot right on me.

Total opposite of the Tampa Bay area.

Yeah, we've been getting that northerly flow for about 24 hours. Breezy and some cells drifting down toward B/CS. The last few days are the kind of Texas summer I can live with.

Enjoying this while it lasts (which won't be long)!

It’s still really hot down here in Wharton today. It’s very steamy here because of all the rain we’ve had. Quite uncomfortable out there.

Major donut hole effect with this cluster. Northern skies with dark blue green a moment ago. Seas attempting to part...

It's 2 AM at the August climo bar, and we need to belly up one last time!

Yeah, right now it looks like everything may skirt west of me. For some reason, the cells up towards Huntsville and all along 45 are falling apart, while storms to the west are increasing in coverage and intensity.

It's hot here too - 95℉ right now.

I’m kinda surprised but actually the next 3 days rain chances look kinda decent.

Yeah, and they raised chances today up to 40%. Not bad for August.

I’m surprised it’s that high. Not seeing anything on the meso models to back that up. Then again I didn’t think yesterday’s storms we’re gonna happen either.

I’m monitoring the showers/disturbance to the NW. If it’s raining in Abilene in August, it should be able to rain here, right? 🤔

The Storm Radar app shows nothing, anywhere at all, until the end of the run (7:30pm).
