...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY THIS WEEK ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS...
.DISCUSSION...
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY WEATHER WEEK ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS WITH THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IS BEGINNING TO STREAM OUT OF THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA...THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND THE EASTERN PACIFIC TOWARD TEXAS. IT IS A BIT TOO EARLY TO TELL EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL FALL...BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOME PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS MAY EXPERIENCE SOME FLOODING WITH 5 TO 10 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS...AND MAYBE EVEN MORE...NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN THE NEXT 3 OR 4 DAYS. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IN COMBINATION WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES...A DEVELOPING DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT...A
STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AND TRAINING OF CELLS POINT TOWARD A HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT ON TUESDAY...BUT IT CANNOT BE RULED OUT THAT SOME HEAVY RAINFALL MAY BE OBSERVED AS EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON IN OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. WILL MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON DOWN THERE AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY AREAWIDE ON TUESDAY. IF THE GFS IS CORRECT...WE WILL BE UNDER A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.90 TO 2.20 INCHES. WILL CALL FOR INCREASING POPS THIS AFTERNOON AND RAISE THEM TO LIKELY TOMORROW AREAWIDE. WILL KEEP HIGH POPS IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH THURSDAY AND TAPER THEM DOWNWARD AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND.
THIS WEEK HAPPENS TO BE THE THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF TROPICAL STORM ALLISON. 42/46
GET THE BOAT FOLKS!!!!

Each discussion sounds more ominous than the last... Bleh, and I have to be in court early Thursday morning in downtown Houston, thanks to my deadbeat ex!! Do judges believe flooding excuses? Because there are only a few ways in and out of both Pearland and Friendswood, and all of them flood out faster than anything.
See you guys in chat this week, maybe?
