Had a brief shower on the way home from work in SW Houston area around 10am this morning. It was about a 2-3 mile stretch. When I made it to sugarland, dry as a bone. Have seen some clouds off and on at the house in Stafford, but no rain.

Some heavy rain coming down on the south side of town.

The heavy stuff is just swirling around me, but not actually getting on top of me.

Pretty much the same here. Flash flood warning to the east of the homestead, big t-storm to the south. So far, just a sprinkle. I'm fine with that, though, we've already had about 4" this week. It would be nice not to have to wash the pups black feet off every time they come into the house.

Yeah the outflow blew through here and now it’s all north and west of here.

I'm getting worried I'm gonna miss out, again!! A nice solid red line going-up and expanding just to my west. Woodlands and Conroe are getting it, then down to Klein and Jersey Village. I'm getting nothing but thunder here. Ugh. My only hope is that it's still a little early in the day...but I'm down to 89 degrees now...

Dry slotted in Rosharon. This impressive line missed me on all sides.

I'm getting another round of thunder close by, as a new cell pops-up *just* to my north. Still nothing here....still painfully close.

Thoughts since watching satellite since yesterday, that it would spin up as a minimal TS while moving ashore.

That cell to my north keeps reforming, almost rotating and spinning is place....so close...been doing this for over an hour now. Lots of thunder but still no rain.

Update - I'm finally getting some rain here. Nothing heavy, but it's raining. Better than nothing.

And do you want to take a wild guess at whose neighborhood has seen nothing but sunshine all day today?

With daytime heating diminishing, these storms and coverage sure fizzled. Figured this was gonna be an all night deal for us in Beaumont. FFW issued till tomorrow night. 80% for us tomorrow. We’ll see.

I feel your pain. There’s been some heavy rain around my house lately, but all we’ve had is light stuff. Nothing over a tenth of an inch yet.

The Beaumont/Port Arthur region is typically the wettest in the entire state. I’m sure you guys will get dumped on cuz that’s what almost always happens there.
