Horrendous E and S of DFW.

A broken line full of BUST heading toward BCS. I watered a bit in hopes to persuade the rain gods to dump on us...the line will probably explode around Huntsville later.


HOU is not out of the woods - there is a NASTY looking cell blowing up east of San Antonio and heading east.

Yep and now even further south...wonder if cap is evaporating like models projected..

I'm gonna be bummed if there are storms north and south and we get a thin line in the middle..

Front just touching NW tip of Montgomery county. Most storms still north and south along the front - still just thin line headed this way....why are storms busting cap to the south but not where we need it? Must be more heat/instability down there...but still..

cap is holding. thin line of storms -

All lightning signatures within about 150mi have died off...unless something drastic changes, just a line of showers and .10 for us..

Conroe to Katy...cap holding.

It's blowing up between Victoria and Corpus...we get squat...

Looks like the bust train is rolling through early.

Front just passed here at 11:42. No lull with wind. Swift shift to north and major gusty winds. Immediately felt cooled air. Can't believe we didn't get storms from this, especially with such robust storms to the SW.

Temp dropped 10 degrees in 10min.

Barely a trace here..pfffttt..

That's the new norm. Call for 100% chance of rain, and get nothing at all. It's like the 4th time this year already.

Huge bust here in Beaumont. Our mets never mentioned anything about a cap. Only knew about it from hearing you guys. We were bulleye for heavy rain. Was in a flash flood watch. Met had a graphic showing 90% chance of hail, damaging winds and flooding. We too were at a 100% al day and into the night. Waited all day yesterday and lastnight. Might have had sprinkles when the front passed and that was it. I know the possibility was there and its better to warn in advanced than not, bit just seems this is the fourth time in a row. Mets here could have atleast mentioned the cap. I bought a brand new jeep yesterday and I was in a hirry to get home and get it under the carport. They had us here waiting for a big scary one. Oh well. It better no damage and no deaths so that's always positive. Now were gonna be outside doing the rain dance as we haven't had a decent shot since early March. Mdm

Looks like the survey teams from NWS Ft Worth/Dallas will continue surveying tomorrow. The early indications are the Canton Tornado may have been on the ground for 50+ miles.
Thankfully the cap held for us in SE Texas or we could have seen some major weather problems as well. My prayers go out to those impacted by this Tornado Outbreak across East Texas.

The Canton tornado was 1/2 a mile wide in part of it's path. T&P for the families affected. Sometimes it is better to take the cap and a knee. Hopefully, we'll see rain on Wednesday without the extreme violence.
