So far in the Greater Houston Area, some areas have already seen 2.5" of rainfall. Seems to be a steady dropping rate, with some localized street flooding.

As of 8:30 am areas in Wharton County and Ft. Bend County in the SW metro area have had up to 10" unofficially with several areas showing 6". Most areas of the "city" are showing 1"-3" with some ongoing street flooding in a few areas.
So far at my home in the near NW area of Houston I've had almost 3/4".

yeah, SW of Houston toward Victoria they have flash flood warnings out. I think some of those areas have received 5+ with a couple more inches expected. The warning referenced: Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Rosenberg, Richmond, El Campo, Wharton, Needville, East Bernard,
Wallis, Pleak, Simonton, Fairchilds, Beasley, Kendleton, Orchard,
Thompsons, Pierce, Boling-Iago, Blessing, Markham, Cumings and
southeastern Weston Lakes

This gives at least some credence to the CMC's rainfall depictions from last night's 00z run.

Note that some of the Doppler estimates are over 10" for this morning so far. Whether that proves to be right or an overestimate remains to be seen.

For the Greater Houston Area and for real-time info, you can't beat this --> https://www.harriscountyfws.org/

And it looks like the Channelview area is over 4" now.

Radar looks interesting right along the Texas coastline.

That is awesome information on that site. Thanks so much for sharing!

Satellite and radar are interesting this afternoon. It seems like the surface low is being tugged back over the water with the strong convection. The high cloud tops are feeling the shear from the west while the surface low is trying to follow the convection. It will be interesting to see if the surface low can continue organizing as it moves further out into the Gulf.

Weak surface low is inland over central Matagorda County as of 1PM CDT. Virtually zero chance of tropical development (0.001%).

Partly cloudy with some blue skies here in west Houston.

Low is over NW Brazoria County now. Can see the little swirl there. Surface obs agree.

1.32" up here. It was mostly a nice, steady rain which was sorely needed.
