SE TX / SW LA Discussion - Hot! Hot! Hot!

[Ptarmigan]

Lots of rain for sure. I expect more tonight and this weekend.

Ok, it is pouring to beat the band here in Spring Branch. We're up over and inch and if it keeps up we are going to be seeing some street flooding. Basically a good ole Tejas thunderstorm!!

We ended up with 2.25" out of that storm with localized street flooding. We are saturated here and I don't like the prospects of more and heavier rains over the next 5 days or so!!!!!

Pouring here like cats and dogs!! Thunder and lighting the whole 9 yards!! Gotta love the Texas seabreeze!!

I need to learn to keep my mouth shut about this!!! They heard me!!!! We are having a repeat of yesterday but with heavier rain and quite a bit more street flooding. No love for the Texas sea breeze when it is like this Yankee!!! And of course my uppity rain guage has chosen not to work today!!!

More rain as well. If it keeps raining, I expect srerious flooding by Tuesday.

pretty strong gust front came through about 15-20 minutes ago. 40-50mph gusts made it look like it was snowing pine needles. A few small pine twigs/small pine branches also came down with the wind. Strange thing though is that the rain never really got that heavy here. Seems like the heaviest precip. passed to my west.

check out the winds recorded at Hooks airport in Tomball from when this storm was arrving...

S 32 G 41 MPH

I have to say that when the storms started blowing into the area around 3 pm today it looked like a tropical storm!!! I thought trees were going to come down, it was crazy!!! Havent seen winds like that in a long long time!!

[Johnny]

I don't know how strong the winds were when the gust front came through my area but it was enough to snap a huge oak in half. The top out of the big oak tree took out the powerlines down the road from me and we were out of power till midnight last night.

Ok... So I have been hearing about all this tropical moisture thats supposed to move in from the Gulf and that we need to keep an eye on it because it could be more than just a rain maker.... Also the NWS has bumped up the rain chances to 70% for tomorrow... I dont see anything that might want to flare up in the Gulf or anywhere! So whats the story? Where is the rain?

[PTrackerLA]

Just had a good soaking in Lafayette, I'd estimate about an inch fell in the past 30 minutes. Tomorrow and Tuesday look very wet as more tropical moisture moves into the area.

Your chance of rain has gone up and ours has gone down from 70% to 50%.

Yankee - looks like it's starting to fizzle as it nears the BC Dome.

That's been happening all afternoon. Just as the rain neared SW Harris county.... POOF! Only a couple sprinkles here today, but that's a good thing after yesterday's deluge and an 80% chance for tomorrow. It would be nice to have a little thunder to sleep by though.

[jasons2k]

Most of western Harris County is about to get a decent storm.

[JenBayles]

Looks that way! Won't last long though.

[Yankeegirl]

The rain is coming down here in sheets! Not much thunder but a ton of rain!

[Ptarmigan]

Looks like these storms are holding and we might have some training.

[JenBayles]

Yikes Ptarmigan! It was all moving NE and now the Eastward motion seems to have slowed - at least the part from about Surfside to West Houston...
