In Robstown, just west of Corpus, and at noon I witnessed a wind direction shift from 358 degrees to 271 degrees and it's windier. No rain, not as cloudy with blue skies to the west.

Well I'm in Canada, where its a cool 64F. But my kids, family and friends are in the Houston and Sugar Land Area.

a picture paints a thousand words - here's long-range radar from Houston. Sugarland is to the southwest, which may be in a dry slot right now, but I wouldn't expect that to last

Latest band over the Houston metro paints some concerns for training.

That is what I was worried about. I knew I could get to work, but was worried about getting home.

Many thanks to all the folks on this forum that keep us informed! We each have to make our own decisions. My husband scoffed at me for staying home, but I made the decision I thought best for me. If I went in, I would be worrying and wondering and itching to leave.

is it pouring downtown?

I have light rain right now.

Corpus Christi velocity scan suggests Bill is crawling to the N...and I do mean crawling...if not stationary.

That can not be good for us!

Has Bill actually even made landfall yet?

TS Bill made landfall at 11:45 AM CDT on Matagorda Island

Both satellite and radar indicate that Bill is on the most outer edge of the East coast ridging which is resulting in a nearly stalled system. This is concerning for the Houston location since a line of very heavy rain remains just north of the region and will slowly push through as we head into the day.
