[Aric Dunn]

been traveling and have not been able to check in too much

but looks like there is a circ forming east of Corpus Cristi. pretty clear on radar and close to radar site.

I see it too Aric. Wow...

@pppapin
Interesting changes on #radar w/ the disturbance off #Texas coast. Convective complex that developed last night is starting to show signs of cyclonic rotation w/ bands developing on reflectivity. Entering the next stage of development from an #MCS-->#MCV

Good to have you back, Aric. And Cyclone (Luis) just posted a report which appears to confirm your observation.

The Euro now shows a 1007mb low pretty much going right over my house... Here in Victoria we may get lucky and have the center come over us and may lessen the rain since it will be all north and east...

[Nimbus]

The dry Texas air mass has been keeping rain totals low on the south side of the circulation thus far.
Houston could take 7" of training bands without too many problems and the models calling for 20"+ were probably not counting on a dry air mass with the weaker circulation factored.

Ya its nice and sunny here... Couple of seabreeze showers thats it!!?? What did the euro show rainfall wise this time?? anyone post the map

[NDG]

Definitely a circulation near Corpus Christi, according to radar.

Wondering if I could get a model update. Meaning....will this system come on in and penetrate the coast, or hang up in the coastal waters?

It could be a possibility, it would not be the first time that models show the vorticity to move onshore but instead it hangs around the coastal water and strengthen.

Pretty heaving band training over Chambers and Jefferson counties. Should see several inches in these areas over the next few hours.

[jaguars_22]

Looks like some even heavier bands down by Brownsville offshore... this thing may be taking off and could strengthen into a minimal storm if it remains stationary...

[SoupBone]

So, so far the heavier rain bands have been further south and coastal? Looks like the Greater Houston Area has been getting minimal rains so far.

No.. the Beaumont area is getting hammered with heavy rains and have been for a while now.

see some circ near corpus, was noticing this around 12:30 when I was driving but forgot all about it, radar loop flashing up some tstorms popping off south of circ, i'm not 100% sure but this thing looks like it wants to intensify

Here are the Greater Houston Area totals for the last 24 hours. So far, that's very manageable amounts. Any hard numbers for Beaumont?

[davidiowx]

Absolutely. We will see how it unfolds tonight if that band holds together and transitions towards Houston. So far, it has been just enough to water the grass for a day lol..

Beaumont airport hasn't recorded a whole lot per this station:

But parts of that area are under flood warnings

About 2.25” in 24 hours in Lumberton, Hardin County, just north of Beaumont. Hoping not a Harvey, with 50+ inches around us then.
