Large area of heavy rains sagging slowly S to the Houston-Galveston Areas while more development occurs out to the W near Austin. Numerous Flash Flooding Warnings in effect just NW of SE TX. Looks to be a very wet afternoon.

If y'all get anything like us ... it's already rained more than 2 inches in north Austin in the last few hours. We have a FFW right now. Many cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. I counted 10 of them in a 7-mile drive from my house to work. One of them popped a pole generator right by my car!
We're getting hammered right now.

Alot of bark (thunder and lightning) and little bite (.25 of rain at my house). Some areas south and west of me in very isolated spots got 2 to 4 inches so if it helps those farmers and ranchers, good for them.
But I learned two things today.
1) My windsheild wipers still work on my truck.
2) My rain guage still holds rainwater.

yes! Storms are actually moving toward us, and there is even a warning out for a cell north of Beaumont. Hopefully Harris County will see a warning for the cells developing in the western part of the county...if we do, then a nice lightning show could be in store! Also, the NWS has put out this special weather statement:
...FUNNEL CLOUDS POSSIBLE TODAY...
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE TODAY WHICH WILL RESULT
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS ARE ALSO FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SHORT-LIVED FUNNEL CLOUDS. FUNNEL CLOUDS WERE REPORTED EARLIER IN
WHARTON COUNTY...NORTHEAST OF EL CAMPO. WHILE NONE ARE CURRENTLY
EXPECTED TO TOUCH DOWN AND BECOME TORNADOES...THERE IS ALWAYS A
REMOTE POSSIBILITY THAT A BRIEF TOUCHDOWN COULD OCCUR.
THEREFORE..RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS SHOULD KEEP AN EYE TO TO
THE SKY THIS AFTERNOON AND AVOID ANY OBSERVED FUNNEL CLOUDS.
