Going to miss my yard again.


Went to other side of building, heard thunder twice in about 2 minutes, clouds dark to East and Northeast, but not particularly spooky looking.

Yeah, I was in a meeting and we heard loud, booming thunder. I looked up and said "I thought it wasn't supposed to rain today" (which it isn't).

Maybe the outflow from this storm will create another one at the house - I hope....

Alot more rain around than originally expected, especially to the north and west of us. Lake Charles NWS mentioned how PW's are supposed to increase tomorrow with 30% of rain Tuesday upping to 40% chance Wednesday through the end of the week. Looks like a not so dry forecast after all!

Morning update from Jeff Lindner:

Moisture increasing off the Gulf of Mexico this morning as noted by enhanced cumulus field along the coast and showers/thunderstorms over the offshore waters and across the tier one coastal counties. Deep fetch of tropical moisture is noted by sounders over the Gulf of Mexico and is advecting toward the TX coast. With little to no capping and trigger temps in the mid to upper 80’s along with light surface winds a round of seabreeze convection is likely from late morning through mid afternoon.

Deeper moisture profiles arrive out of the Gulf on Wednesday and Thursday and feel at least 50% chances are needed..may need to go higher on Wednesday. Active seabreeze will be the main driving force in a weak wind flow and tropical type air mass. Storm motions will be on the slower side so where it does rain…it may rain 1-3 inches in an hour.

Typical summer pattern returns Friday into the weekend with climo 20-30% chances from afternoon seabreeze activity.

Models begin to diverge by Sunday as tropical wave moves into the southern Gulf of Mexico and strong H5 trough drops into the eastern US carving out a weakness in the height field over TX. GFS shows 300mb TUTT moving into the TX coast Monday June 30th with surface tropical wave moving WNW to NW right behind this feature next Mon-Tues. GFS goes even further and develops a closed surface reflection at 925mb while moving it northward along the S TX coast and then inland over the coastal bend on the east side of the 300mb TUTT by then inland over SW TX. For now will not jump on the tropical happy GFS train as the other models are not showing anything of concern. There is a westward moving tropical wave over the Caribbean Sea and the pattern described about could produce a surface spin up over the western Gulf early next week if the tropical wave and TUTT are in the correct positions allowing the TUTT to vent the tropical wave at the surface. Regardless…it all points toward a wetter pattern over TX. We shall see.

Looks like some rain for your yard Jason. I think that alot of folks will see showers/storms as this pattern evolves. Thanks for posting Jeff's thoughts.

Nice t-storm an hour ago, with what appears to be mammatus overhead at the Galleria, and, best of all, NWS radar indicates rain at my house.

It looked so promising - a nice, solid N-S line along I-45 looked like it was going to train right over my house - but sure enough - just as it got to the Spring area, the whole southern end headed for me just evaporated - and once again, not a single drop at my house according to radar. Ugh!!

If you look at the storm totals on radar - that sliver of nothing just east of I-45 in Montgomery County - yeah, that's me, one of the very few dry places left on today's map :(

Yeah - that giant cell passed just to my west. The line it originated from was headed right for me and just went POOF.

Heck, I'd take some hail if it got the ground wet!

Not to "rub it in", but got about an inch with two good storms and my yard is grateful.

Looked like the line was fizzling as it went through the 1960/Veterans area, but I would guess a couple of tenths, better than nothing.

Probably close to an inch here by the Galleria.

Still waiting on the action to start in my area. Yesterday we ha some big storms all around but not a drop here. Lake Charles-Beaumont is really getting hammered right now, we shall see what the afternoon has in store.
