Viewing radar trends/gut feeling- storms in Washington county have peaked.

While I do believe we've seen about all we're going to see, there does appear to be the start of redevelopment just west of the current storm.

I see what you're looking at but my radar loops show that that little storm has been tagging along with the main cell for about an hour now..

[wxdata]

The storm near Brenham is still creating winds near 50mph just above the surface...

[wxdata]

NWS will probably cancel current warning before expiration.

Sitting outside of our place near memorial city mall watching the lightning off in the distance.

Not a bad way to spend the evening!

I wonder if these storms will end up over Houston assuming we just get the rain only.

[wxdata]

I'm wondering how much of the storms will be left by the time they reach downtown.

[weatherguy425]

Hmm the stuff up between tyler and shreveport is interesting.

[Ptarmigan]

I'm wondering how much of the storms will be left by the time they reach downtown.

These storms are getting lethargic as they approach us.

[Ptarmigan]

How did these thunderstorms form?
