Sadly,
I don't know if we want this thing to spin up, and pull all the moisture toward it.

Very clear skies here.
It's almost as if the clouds are staying away on purpose

Not looking too promising for Tx City is it? From what I've read (correct me if I'm wrong please) most of the rain is headed to our southwestern coastal areas, like Corpus etc??? Please fill me in a bit, sometimes this 'technical talk' confuses me and I don't always understand the lingo... thanx

IMO this isn't going to be a widespread heavy rain producer like we kept thinking earlier in the week. The coastal counties will benefit some but it would appear that we are heading for an increasingly hotter and drier July once the ridging takes control again. I say we all get out the hoses and water our lawns tonight. Perhaps the increased moisture will be like a mating call for the moisture in the gulf to head this way and give us more rain than we expected LOL. :lol:

I have a question.
You'd think I would know this by now.

Watching this system for the last few days, I've noticed the storms seem to wain during the evening.
With a tropical system, I thought daytime heating wasn't a huge factor with tropical systems?

Does this have to do with diurnal min/max?
Or because there's no real core?

Thanks in advance.

Well convection has deteriorated. This system will almost surely not have any sort of organization. However, this could be good news for rain chances. Maybe one of those large convection blobs we saw in the gulf earlier today will form again tomorrow to give us some rain.

If they can hold together, looks like a line of storms about 75 miles south of Galveston ready to move in.

A little red is trying to make its way back in.

There's a line just off the coast....
(Maybe not "just off.")

If it can just hold together.
