That was quite a read. Thanks for posting. I would love to do that some day with the right personnel and information.

IR Enhancement 4



Here is a Doppler radar image out of Brownsville.

Meh. This was unimpressive. Got some much needed rain, but way overyhyped.

Is that trying to wrap up?

I don't understand that logic when the event isn't even over yet and already most places have received over 4 or 5 inches of rain across SE Texas. Secondly, most of the members on the board have stressed how sharp of a gradient this event could be.

It is not over until it is over.

Lake Jackson region could be the region most under the gun right now. Progression of the mid/lower level low seems to be slowing down and banding features are spreading northward.

who is staying up tonight and monitoring this situation for the night?

Holy mackerel. What a story of ingenuity, power, terror, survival. Glad all in that tight space are OK.

More and more I examine radar, more you can clearly see multiple areas of rotation across the region. Two to three areas of rotation across the gulf and then I notice one just southwest of needville.
