But, on an up note, the temperatures have not peaked to the 100's...yet.
BLUE JAY - stick around this weekend and early into next
you'll see heat indices hit 107...
summer...finally!

Hooks is already at 106 for a heat index at noon, I think they might beat that "max 107" forecast

Those that received the afternoon storms did rather well in the rainfall department today. Folks near Aldine received 2+ inches and those in the near NW side from Fairbanks North Houston down to the Loop saw an inch+ along White Oak Bayou. Further E close to Lake Houston near the E Belt got a little less than inch in some neighborhoods.

The computer models are beginning to latch on to a solution that looks a bit more favorable for heavy rainfall through at least mid week. PW's have increased to 2 inches and should increase to 2.3+ Monday into Tuesday across Central/East/SE Texas into the Southern half of Louisiana. Yet another deep Eastern US trough and attending frontal boundary should sag S and provide a focal point for daily convection. As usual, meso features will be the fly in the ointment and cannot be determined with any accuracy beyond 6-12 hours prior to any heavy rainfall event or where the storms likely have the greatest impact.
As of now it appears the greatest threat for stronger storms with heavy rainfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour where they do develop would be N of the HWY 59 to I-10 Corridor, but that will need to be monitored particularly tomorrow afternoon/evening as storms fire and develop across potions of Central and East Texas. The pooling of deep rich tropical moisture of 2 standard deviation above normal suggest some potential of flooding of low lying areas and locations typically prone to flooding during heavy rainfall rates. Depending on where the front actually stalls and eventually washes out, the threat of heavy slow moving storms should continue into at least Wednesday.

Too far out to call it anything other than 94L!

Morning Update from Jeff:
Another rare summer cold front heading for the region.
Cool front currently located over S OK will progress southward today while the seabreeze moves northward. Expect thunderstorms to develop along both boundaries as daytime heating works on an unstable and moist air mass. Upstream frontal convection will sink southward toward the area this evening while seabreeze storms will move northward to I-10 and possibly Hwy 105. Forecast soundings this afternoon over our northern counties show a bit of dry air in the mid levels which may enhance the potential for wind damage in the stronger storms..
This evening into the overnight short term models show the frontal boundary and seabreeeze colliding somewhere in SE TX between roughly I-10 and a College Station to Huntsville line. Models really put the brakes on storm motions as this happens in a setup not all that different from the August 1st storm event. PWS pool to near 2.2 inches tonight which suggest an excessive rainfall threat with any slow moving convection. Will have to watch trends very carefully this evening to see if another short fused flash flood event may develop over some part of the region.
Frontal boundary will sag to I-10 or even the coast on Tuesday with a significantly drier air mass moving into at least the northern parts of the area. Rare dewpoints in the 60’s and possibly even in the 50’s will make for overnight lows in the upper 60’s to near 70 across our northern set of counties. It is up for debate on how far south the dry air makes it into the region and this depends on where the front finally stalls. Past experience suggest the front will move a little future south than forecast given convection and outflows along the boundary…so I think it will clear the coast sometime late Tuesday. With the front south of the region…we should see a break in any thunderstorm development except for maybe the coast and offshore waters. The boundary begins to lift back northward on Wednesday and a return to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon appears possible as upper level ridging does not really assert itself over the region.

A line of storms is beginning to organize S of San Angelo and N of the Hill Country Highland Lakes. The HRRR and RAP short range rapid refresh guidance continues to suggest the sea breeze will become active and move inland colliding with those southward advancing storms to our NW later this afternoon into the evening hours.
