I say they raise development chances to 20% @ 8pm, but no higher.

EDIT: Nevermind, they stay @ 10%.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Mon Jun 18 2018

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Surface observations and WSR-88D Doppler radar data indicate that
a surface trough associated with a mid- and upper-level low
pressure system has remained stationary near the Texas coast during
the day. This system continues to produce a widespread area of
cloudiness and disorganized showers and thunderstorms, accompanied
by strong gusty winds, over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Heavy
rainfall and flash flooding across portions of southern and
southeastern Texas are likely to continue during the next few days.
For more details on this disturbance and the threat for heavy
rainfall, please see products issued by your local weather office
and High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

&&

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be
found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and
on the Web at https://ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml.

Jeeze, it’s looking like Beaumont area may be in for a long night. I’ve been watching the radar all day and when I left work it was just a train still continuing to roll through there. While again now, it appears it wants to continue dumping over that area..

Looks like a couple more inches at least are headed up toward the Triangle in the next couple of hours. If those storms continue to fire offshore, they will get at least a bit into Texas before ramping down as they get further inland and night falls. Definite situation for low lying areas thus the continuation of the flash flood warning until 10:00

https://www.weather.gov/lch/

We got a bit over an inch here in New Orleans as two bands came through today. We didn’t get any rain from the early am band here but there was a morning thunderstorm between that and the second one. Looks like only spotty storms are firing offshore of SELA, so the majority of the action should remain to our west and southwest.

Why has the central coast of Texas been dry slotted??

Any better idea on Austin TX today? Think we get 2-4

No. I haven’t looked that far inland. I think it’s going to be a matter of whether or not the low is on or offshore as it deepens and where it moves. I think if upper conditions continue to improve and the storm moves 100 miles inland or so, you’d be NW but getting feeder moisture from the east and ese. You’d assume most of the heaviest rain would be in the daytime there as well. But if the focusing mechanism (center?) stays offshore, it’s just going to depend on how far inland storms get each day. So you may be right with 2-4” for the event, but obviously it could be 6 or even 10” if the low pressure is slow to move out or wind down (and if it would be to your s/se/sw)

Rode around Beaumont today and there were already streets flooding in some areas. One of our main drainage ditches that was bone dry few days ago, is almost totally full now, this is like one of those huge concrete drainage ditches, not no little swale ditch. Anyways, we have been receiving copious amounts of rainfall steady all day it seems, moderate rainfall, then heavy downpours for 30min straight, off and on. Filled up a gallon bucket in my back yard. I know this because it was empty before this rain started. :eek:

Looking at the HRRR, I expect more moisture moving in about midnight - 4am, could be some 1-3in per hour downpours, grabbing my rubber boots & a poncho. :lol:

No rotation at the surface. Wave axis is now inland. I measured 0.12" of rain in SW Houston. Not quite the extreme amounts the HRRR was predicting for Houston. I see reports of up to 3.28" in far eastern Harris County northeast of Baytown. Hard to predict where the heavier storms will form with such a disorganized system. Tomorrow could be my day for heavy rain.

Same here in Lumberton, Tx. Been on and off rain since about 11:00am. Heaviest downpours (very tropical) this afternoon. I am thinking at least 3-4 in today maybe more.

1.20” at Smith Point-East Chambers County since midnight.
It’s been so dry here you can’t tell it’s rain at all. Zero standing water...ditches are dry. Tide has come up a little.

It's been breezy here today -- more than I expected. The airmass has been very tropical. It has that 'feel' of a storm brewing in the gulf with the wind and the moisture.

I had about an inch of rain yesterday, and another quarter of an inch today. I was expecting more today than what I got, but so it goes...

I'm keeping a close watch for sure. It won't take much to setup training, flooding bands over SE Texas.
