Houston is so lucky that line east of town isnt parked on top of it. Possible another line is building in the GOM that will line up with us though.

A friend of mine in Bridge City as water coming in her home. She is still rebuilding since loosing everything when Harvey hit. She just got sheetrock put back on walls. They are putting sand bags up hoping this will help. Still coming down good after having rain stop for a bit. This is not good for her.

Small, inconspicuous shower on radar just hit me and man it was much heavier than i expected. Quick half an inch in 20 minutes

SLUG of moisture coming

11:30AM TUESDAY UPDATE:

We’ve threaded the needle for much of the day between two large areas of intense rains, but I expect the radar to fill in with more storms over southeast Texas the next few hours. The band to our south I showed you in my earlier post has held together and is now moving inland.

If you see a flash of lightning or hear any rumbles of thunder, that’s a signal you might get more rain than you were hoping for (like what’s happening off to our east in Beaumont). These tropical air masses are so warm it’s difficult to get any lightning activity unless the storm reaches to incredible heights in the atmosphere where it’s cold enough for ice crystal growth and lightning formation. If that happens, you get a tremendous amount of rain as well because what goes up must come down.

Hopefully the rain I’m anticipating to develop will keep on moving and not stall or train over the same spots. We are under a flash flood watch until 7PM.

Some pretty heavy storms headed towards Austin... Multiple rounds too. I am excited.

Made it back down to Port Arthur but just barely. Most roads are now impassable or close to it around Beaumont and areas south (Port Arthur, Nederland, Port Neches).

The radar looks the same as it did yesterday, it saved Houston in a way since most of the energy is going into that band.

Btw I can't help but to look at the most recent GFS total precipitation for the event and laugh hysterically as it has no basis in reality in comparison to the radar.

some Homes reported taking in water in Port Neches/Nederland and Bridge city

Corpus is getting TRAINED WITH RAIN

Just looking at visible sat over south Texas. Almost looks like an eye feature. Funny, eh

That's a pretty neat mid-level circulation spinning up the clouds down there in South Texas. A lot of moisture remains available in the Gulf of Mexico as evidenced by the thick convective activity over the waters.

@MJVentrice
ECMWF pushing out 5"+ rainfall QPF across eastern/southeastern Texas over the next 48 hours in association to a tropical low pressure system pushing in from the Gulf. Flooding in locations is likely.Also will result in a delayed browning of vegetation this Summer for E Texas.
