We are having a hefty thunderstorm now.
I got close to an inch yesterday so if I can squeeze a couple more inches out this week I will be a happy camper.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:53 am Rain chances seem to be getting lower and lower each day for this week. Shouldn’t be surprised though because that’s how 2020 has been. Looks good in the medium/long range only to go somewhat poof the closer it gets. Be lucky to get an inch this week. The GFS was right the whole time. The Euro lost this battle.
Not sure what you are looking at, as the radar this morning says otherwise.... It isn't a good idea to look a low resolution global models for rainfall amounts this time of year,especially due to the mesoscale driven nature of this setup. And some areas have already seen more than an inch of rain with more rain to come today and the rest of the week.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:53 am Rain chances seem to be getting lower and lower each day for this week.

I’m looking at the WPC 7 day QPF forecast. It says about 1-2” on average for SETX when it was showing more a couple days ago. We didn’t receive any rainfall over the week like a lot of others on here did. Plus it seems like the theme this year with the rain is that it will look promising a few days out, only to halfway disappear as we get closer. The radar does look nice now though, I will admit that. I’m also comparing the GFS vs Euro precip forecast. The Euro had us getting widespread amounts of 5-10” for several runs in a row where the GFS only said about an inch or two which is looking like the more likely outcome per the WPC QPF forecast.don wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 9:59 amNot sure what you are looking at, as the radar this morning says otherwise....

Keep in mind that the WPC QPF forecast are broad brush and don't account for localized areas that could see much higher totals. Just from this line of storms alone most of metro Houston should see 1-2 inches of rain.My street is already flooded..., in fact based on today average rainfall may need to be raised to 2-4+ inches with localized higher amounts instead of the 1-3 inches on average I said yesterday. As rain chances increase even more starting tomorrow through Thursday.We will have to watch for any stalled boundaries that could be a focus point for slow/training storms as the week progresses.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 10:35 amI’m looking at the WPC 7 day QPF forecast.
