Yeah, just awesome.

[mcheer23]

And we’re back….

[tireman4]

Goodness it is popping up well north of I10

[TexasBreeze]

Some of the outages are Xfinity related around the Hou area seen on Abc13

[DoctorMu]

Both Houston radars down again for now.

Yep...

On an enhanced risk severe weather day, the Houston Doppler Radar has now been down for an hour with no ETA on its return. Looks like a comms issue. Reminder, the Houston office is currently dealing with a vacant electronic systems analyst because of forced austerity measures.

Of course. If there had only been offices specifically set up to improve government function and reduce waste - like an Inspector General for each agency...

Here are rain reports from yesterday. Quite a swath tracked by last night's cells. It looks like they made it to The Woodlands and hit the wall crossing I-45.

[jasons2k]

There is a stalled outflow almost on top of me. Good inflow coming in. I can see visible shear in the cell just to my north. Gonna be an active ride!

[jasons2k]

Wind is gusty from the north now. It’s about to dump.

[jasons2k]

Yikes.

[Stratton20]

Would be nice you know, if those storms could start moving to the south , we need the rain

[jasons2k]

Stepped outside. Looks like a mesocyclone trying real hard to drop something but not quite yet. That cell could go tornadic at any moment…

I won’t be surprised if I don’t get anything at all down here this far south. I might have better luck next week.

[suprdav2]

Looking at the radar and, to my 49 year old eyes, everything approaching Houston from the west starts to break up.

[Stratton20]

Cpv17 yeah next week looks better, today was another let down lol

[Rip76]

Appeared to be a lot of cloud cover today.

[jasons2k]

We still have a long way to go with this system. This is just round one before the main front and upper dynamics arrive later tonight.

[DoctorMu]

When these two lines merge, it's not going to be good. Am clearing out the garage or using tarp over the car. Hustling to the store and back before we're sandwiched.

[MH5]

Storms avoiding Harris Co (aside from Kingwood) so far like the plague. Don’t want to deal with any of the hail, but it sure would be nice if us in metro Houston could catch a cell or two prior to the line that’s supposed to form and move south later tonight. Got the drone all charged up and nothing to chase

[Stratton20]

Is the storm motion east or something? I keep checking the radar every 30 minutes and it looks like the storms havent really made any progress southward

Very weird storm motions. Storms in NE/E Harris Co are drifting ever so slightly east. Storms NW have started moving and propagating north or even just west of north. Storms out west are moving due east.
