TxLady -
I was watching the radar and it looked like your area around New Waverly was getting a brief heavy downpour. Well, maybe you needed a break off of that ladder anyway! (Be safe!)
These few words, hidden deep in last night's overnight NWS HGX discussion say it all.
"NORTH OF A COLUMBUS-LIVINGSTON LINE"
No further explanation, analysis, or context is needed. Time would be better spent gearing-up for game 3. Sad that a 0-2 team has more hope than in the weather department.

Isolated severe supercell that formed on the dryline around 630pm this evening continues to move into SE TX this evening via Washington County. This storm has had a history of producing golf ball size hail in Lee and Washington Counties with the most recent report coming in from the town of Burton along US 290.
Recent radar trends show this storm is finally starting to weaken as it encounters stronger capping and surface heating is now over. Suspect the storm to dissipate by 1000pm as it approaches northern Waller and southern Grimes Counties.
Interestingly, the latest run of the meso scale HRRR model which has done a good job of late explodes a line of strong thunderstorms in the 300-600am period across the northern ½ of SE TX. This appears in response to a piece of energy rotating through the base of the large upper trough over the central plains. TX TECH meso model shows little to no development overnight along with the WRF model. Think with diurnal cooling now in progress mid level capping should keep any storms from developing and will side with the drier models. However as mentioned above the HRRR has been doing very well lately, so would not be overly surprised if storms did in fact develop along and N of I-10.

It would be nice if it rained. I wonder why so much capping here, but not in West Texas despite being drier. El Nino is developing and my guess the affect of this past winter is a factor.

We got a RED ALERT weather warning phone call at 4:30 am. No sign of high wind or rough weather yet. It is very muggy and winds are still, kind of eerie.
I had such high hopes for the April showers to bring May flowers at the beginning of this month. After 30 days I can report only .29 inches of precipitation in my backyard for April 2014. It does not sound like May will be overly generous with rain action either.
