Just started breaking up under the BC Dome around 11:30. Now it's getting HOT and steamy. Had to get the summer shorts and sleeveless shirts out. Bummer...

Looks like the plain ol weather is about to come to an end. Could be a decent rain event setting up over the week with decent PWS values for this time of year.

A good sign for parts of the state that really need the rain....

I have been under a strady downpour for the last 30-45 minutes here and it continues to get heavier and heavier. I certainly did not expect this when I went to bed last night!

Hi there Annular! That would be the "Bear Creek Dome" over here in West Houston. You could say we have roof problems of a sort: every storm system that swings through is usually repelled by the almost permanent cap that exists over my subdivision. :lol:

Hmmmmmm, I wonder why there is a cap over your area? It's forested if I recall.

JenBayles · #316 Postby **JenBayles** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 3:49 pm

Nope - flat rice fields with mostly sun-baked squares of new construction with maybe a seedling tree stuck in the front yards. I'm in an older more established subdivision, but the general area is completely flat. We're just outside the edge of the Piney Woods but really more coastal-type plains. <puts on aluminum foil hat> It was really the ALIENS you know... :lol:

rain and storms developing to our SW this afternoon:

JenBayles · #318 Postby **JenBayles** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:35 pm

Been watching that myself Extreme, and waiting to see if the Power of the Dome will hold... so far today, it has. :lol:

While Yankeegirl and I were having coffee at Starbucks yesterday, we noticed a black cloud over towards the Bear Creek Dome. Looked like it had failed for once, but nooooooo! Not a stinking drop!

Let no one question the power of the Dome. :notworthy:
