I am in Merritt Island, FL until June 4th, but I hope you guys do get some much needed rain. It is needed!

The MCS that has effected the Victoria area has decreased our rain chances today because of cloud cover and lack of heating. Monday thru Wednesday will be our best chance.

So far all of that has stayed mostly to the West of Houston. Some went South too. Not even enough sprinkles to measure in the gauge!!!

Yeah, it's just been cloudy here all day with off-and-on sprinkles. Nothing measurable. That MCS pretty-much ruined our chances for today.
Maybe tomorrow if we can get some sun, we'll see some decent rain fire-up.

Dont forget us here in West Texas. WE have the Good Ole Dryline T-Storms firing up everyday for the past few days!!!!

Should be alot more active Monday and Tuesday than what we saw Sunday. The MCS and it's Cloud Debris screwed us up. Weak 700 low over East Texas and plenty of moisture should spell alot of showers the next few days.jschlitz wrote:Yeah, it's just been cloudy here all day with off-and-on sprinkles.

We got some decent rain here in NorthWest Harris county... Seemed like all morning it rained/drizzled all morning...

Showers are really increasing tonight across the coastal counties as deep tropical moisture moves into the region..A weak disturbance coming out of the 700 low over East Texas helping to generate showers as well...

Ya think that Houston might get in on some of the action?

Main convergence is located from extreme Houston over to Beaumont.

They look really nice, and they're not moving very much either.

Hopefully we will see some rain here in Houston tomorrow! So far you guys to the East are hogging it all!

WOW!! What a difference 7 hours makes!! Just woke up to thunderstorms and rain. What a welcome sound even on a holiday with the deficit we were working on. Currenetly have about 0.60" here in Spring Branch area. Radar shows we are in a "tail" of rain off the main portion to our N and E. Harris County, which includes most of Houston is under a Flash Flood Warning till 8:45am due to these storms, which seem to be moving slowly to the East, at least in my area.
Speaking of to our East, radar shows that some areas have gottten upwards of 12" of rain overnight betweeen Houston and Beaumont. Even though there are some towns in the area it shows, most of the area is rural and in fact most of the area where the heavy rains are occurring this am appear to be rural.
Wonder what the rest of the day will hold?

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Since 1 AM some parts of the Beaumont/Port Arthur areas have recieved a foot of rain since 1 AM..Storms have remained stalled over the area as weak mid level low continues over the region. This is just like having a Tropical Storm the way the rain begin during the late night hours..

Well, y'all have been wanting rain, right?! 
Actually ... it does look/sound like SE Texas is getting pounded. Be safe down there.
