1-2 inches of rain my ***. What a busted forecast.

I know the feeling, but in fairness, nobody called for a 100% chance of rain. And the most of the models I saw showing that much were mostly north of I-10, and that was still going out forward a few more days from now.

We have another disturbance coming across overnight and then a recharge with another disturbance tomorrow. There may be also a decent shot on Saturday depending on how things play out. This event isn't over yet and already a lot of of folks have seen more rain in the last couple of days than they have seen all summer.

I know it's frustrating so far - I have been there so many times - but eventually you will see rain again and some day soon with El Nino here - you'll even be telling us about all the swampy muck and mosquitos .

Correct - this event was progged by Ensembles, Euro, GFs to be north of Hwy 1*5, much less I-10.

[DoctorMu]

As the Great Lakes trough slips each the SJt has picked up dry air at the mid levels - so we have a cap N of HWY 1*5. From Navasota south should see additional rain.

Next week a baby DR establishes itself with zonal flow, but weaker ridging and lower sun angle will yield 90s instead of 100s. Then a potential ULL from the Rockies in 10 days, although that is uncertain. 8-14 day forcasts are for above normal temperatures and "normal" precip.

It's tomorrow morning or bust for us, although we did see a few showers early this morning - just not a lot of accumulation.

I already need to order a dump truck of soil to begin replacing my dead yard since it refuses to rain at all anywhere remotely near me, and the chinch bugs are immune to any pesticide I use. This entire year sucks.

Big storm complex out in the Hill Country - something to keep an eye on.

I wouldn't pay much attention to an outlook that far in advance. We are getting into a time of year where the pattern will start becoming more dynamic so the predictability at that range will become more uncertain as we head deeper into fall. I think we will really begin to see a full weather pattern transition as we head into October and November.

Pretty decent line of storms approaching my area from the west

Beaumont getting hammered.

[jasons2k]

Been watching all morning.

[Cromagnum]

That line better dig south.

I’ll tell you this, it’s awfully hot and humid out there. Seems like a lot of available fuel out there for storms to work with.

Been that way for 4 months save a very small handful of days.

[GBinGrimes]

Getting absolutely hammered in Grimes County. Welcome sight, but there's going to be a lot of trees and limbs that were hanging on for dear life during the drought that will be strewn across county roads after this.

Not where I live. We’ve had a lot of fairly comfortable days at my location regarding the humidity. It’s extra juicy out there today where I’m at, though.

[Rip76]

That was a storm.
Caught in it on 99 headed towards Tomball.

Wow.

[jasons2k]

Day 2.

[jasons2k]

Geez the Cypress area gets skipped over again.

Gonna be a close call for Cromagnum.

[don]

Beautiful radar right now.

[Rip76]

That’s why we need the like button.

Geez the Cypress area gets skipped over again.

Getting real tired of it too. Flew back from Ohio last night and seeing all of the yellow/brown terrain was sad
