That is around the area I was talking about earlier.

Well in the summer here during our usually afternoon thunderstorms we get 3"+ per hour rainfall quite often and it's basically a waterfall. Thats really the only way to imagine it. It kinda looks like a blizzard but not white, sorta a clear color. You can't see out the window but more than a few feet or less and the yard becomes a pond within minutes.

Yep, not an unusual occurence for anyone living within 50 miles or less of the Gulf Coast. Sea breeze front thunderstorms are often hit-or-miss affairs, but sometimes when they do hit, they dump! I have a small canal running behind my backyard that's normally dry, but can fill deep enough to wade waist-deep in after about 15-20 minutes when one of those big rainmaking thunderstorms gets over our neighborhood.

Same here as to the 3"/hr.+ rates. It happens fairly often around here with heavy thunderstorms. When Beaumont flooded on Monday, the rain rates were CRAZY! It was coming down in buckets a lot of the time, heavier than Allison rains in some parts! That's how we got those 15" - 18" rain totals in like 9 hours! And many areas only got about 10" - give or take a few inches.

Here's the thread with the image of a 7.08"/hr rain rate my sister captured on KFDM.

Yep. "Weak" and "elongated" are the words that first come to mind. But all in all, a good observational warm-up exercise for the eventual periodic Gulf of Mexico messes that are sure to come between now and late October.

Wish it would have had a little more time and not so close to land.

Here is a RADAR LOOP from Corpus Christi...
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/radar.php?rid=CRP&product=N0Z&overlay=11111111&loop=yes

And here is the Discussion...

GULF OF MEXICO...
A SHARP NARROW UPPER TROUGH IS IN THE NW GULF WITH AN UPPER LOW
FORMING NEAR 27N86W. AN AMPLIFIED UPPER RIDGE LIES JUST E OF THE
TROUGH COVERING THE CENTRAL AND E GULF. A PLUME OF MOISTURE IS
ADVECTED OUT OF THE EPAC STREAMING NWD ACROSS THE GULF BETWEEN
88W-95W. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS
SWATH OF MOISTURE...MOST ORGANIZED IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE WHERE
A WEAK SFC REFLECTION AS A TROUGH HAS DEVELOPED. MORE IMPRESSIVE
ACTIVITY HAS FORMED NEAR THE UPPER LOW N OF 26N W OF 95W.
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATES AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS...SOME OF
THEM STRONG TO SEVERE...IN S TEXAS AND THE COASTAL WATERS.

You are correct the blob will be inland soon. No formation here. I would give it a 5% chance if that at this time. Nice feature to watch and wish all that rain was on the west coast of fl here but nothing tropical going to come out of it here. imo.

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #139 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Wed May 31, 2006 2:07 pm

I wish it would form into a weak tropical storm to have a number. But not going to happen.
