Crap ton of CTG around me right now

Glad to see our friends north and south getting rain. Clouds have kept temps in check after a couple of over performing days In that regard. Rooting for an EPAC recurve to merge with ULL+boundaries. Getting close to that time of year.

Getting really funky here in Space City.

Same here, it's one after another!

And it's pouring outside . . .

Just had about 10 flashes at least above me during my 30 second walk into the NWC

.6 inches, it ain't much, but better with the drought situation, OKC got 2.2 inches.

And there is Positive Lightning coming down all around me . . .

Finally some decent rain here. Hopefully a sign of things to come. Euro and GFS both have a hurricane recurving near Baja around day 10

That time of the year will be coming soon! Sometimes you can get setups like this where parts of Texas can get massive floods. Bears watching.

I don’t know if you noticed, but the GFS long range was throwing out hints a few runs ago of such setup over portions of South TX and SE TX from a system crossing over from the Pacific.

Surprise rain tonight. Wasn’t expecting anything. May get .30 or so, not bad.

Interesting. Didn’t really notice that.

Some fascinating insight on why the ATL has had such few hurricanes. This also has an effect on our weather this summer. Should we be focusing on the activity in the IO this year over the Pacific? Weather always amazes me.

Final total is .7 inches

I have pictures of a huge tree trunk that was snapped by severe winds, not by lightning, it has been used in a storm report to the SPC. I noted that the damage was from yesterday.

This weekend is beginning to look pretty interesting for southeast TX.

Very Spicy indeed. WPC already has a slight risk for flash flooding up for Texas coast and likely will expand as we get closer to the event.

WPC is showing the potential for some flooding this afternoon in southeast tx.

EPAC future hurricane/TCG and weakness is going to set up widespread rainfall for Texas.

What’s your take on this weekend for down my way?

Started raining at work around 1pm. Started moderate, then went to light. Still raining. Looks like my house got more. I"ll check later. Hill Country getting the jackpot today! Nice little soaker.

Yea, this event didn't generate much chatter on here but a large portion of the state has received 1-2"+ of rain in the last 24hrs. This is no way to run an August in Texas!
