Pressures in the Gulf are still high at 1013mb. There is virtually no gradient (1013 Hobby too). Looks like just some rain and squalls for now.

Had a brief sprinkle here in Stafford this morning. Nothing yesterday. The sun is starting to peak out now. I gave up and put the hose in the pool.

Is there high pressure just north of Houston today?
Never mind, just read Jeff's morning update.

They failed so hard with the forecast it isn't even funny. Then again, there is a chance I might be speaking too soon.

Anyways, it is great that much of Texas has seen the rainfall it deserved over the previous weeks. Now, if only this happened all summer long, with no dry spells lasting longer than 3 days; 100F temps will be a thing of the past.

No there isn't, on the radar, storms are starting to spring up all around the place, but have yet to affect Houston.
