Disturbed Weather (now inland over Texas)

Looks like some nice rain for Houston and Galveston. That should help knock back the heat. Good job overall by the NAM depicting the spin and pattern for this to have moved westward. Also the EC early last week showed a similar pattern evolution to where this low could get pretty far west. Hopefully it gets some rain into Hill Country and can help with summer by putting some moisture into those areas.

3"-5" in Spring Branch West area. Still raining. Still no flooding my location but some areas are experiencing high water rescues. STAY OFF THE ROADS IN HOUSTON METRO TILL LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

Emptied 4.68 from my gage from 10 AM to 5 PM. Forecast verified. Remember the Euro and some of the short term meso guidance suggested 9 to 10 inches in some isolated locations that occurred today across portions of the Houston Metro. Not to shabby for a warm core tropical like system that crossed our Region...

4.44" from 745 AM until 255 PM in the Spring area. east of 45 and South of GP99

Yeah. It was a cool system to watch come together from 7-10 days. Nothing was likely to have been classified with non-ideal conditions, it being early July and all. But at the same time there was a favorable MJO Phase and also some weather features on the map that had some potential.

NAM 12km is hinting at a pattern repeat over the next 3.5 days where an upper low shoots west across the northern Gulf or Gulf Coast followed by either a wave or possibly a remnant boundary firing up off the LA Coast. Neither possible feature has much of a chance, but it’s possible we get some more rainy days into the area coming from the east.
