A broken line just blew through here. Couple drops of sprinkle and much cooler. Not expecting much in way of beneficial rain.

If you'd like to have a little chuckle, check out today's official forecast for Wixon Valley, and then look at the current radar.

11 drops in Friendswood.

Guys, not even the midweek system is looking good for us. Most of the rain will probably be north and east of us.

What a pleasant surprise today as more thunderstorms are developing out to the west and heading east into the area.

Light rain in the swamps of Pearland, too. Looks like it isn't over until it's over, though.

I’m having a hard time understanding how these storms developed today. There’s not even that much humidity or heat around to get anything cranking.

Lol

Both, it seems.

As of this writing, as of right now, NWS shows 70% for Wednesday for the Beaumont area. Watch! Tuesday and Wednesday it will dwindle to a measly 20-30% chance of showers. Same routine. Same broken record. Not even gonna get my hopes up. It would be a nice suprise, but not holding my breath!

I understand. Same here in League City.

The good news, though, is that your A&M fandom has prepared you for just these types of situations.

Kidding. Maybe. Lol.
All in good fun.....

Haha.

The problem is on Wednesday these storms are supposed to be coming in the morning. That’s typically when storms lose most of their punch and start falling apart.

Night storms can bring surprises.

Hopefully we can get some much needed rain tomorrow night. I like the trend with pretty much all the major models show the cap breaking.

Today just has that "feel" to it. Strong humid winds roaring out of the south.

An active weather afternoon, evening, and overnight for a large portion of Southern Plains, Arklatex, Ozarks, and Mid to Upper Mississippi Valley.

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA...FAR WESTERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHEAST TEXAS...

Across SE TX isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible N of Houston this afternoon if convection can bring through the cap.

Early tomorrow morning will be the next threat of severe weather as a line of storms pushes across SE TX from 2AM to 8AM. Inland areas around 2AM, Houston area around 5AM, and off the coast around 8AM.
