Looked as if the CAP would hold until around 5 PM when rapid development started near Victoria. SPC "hinted" several times today of some Severe Issues locally. :wink:

Update from Jeff Lindner...

Flash Flood event unfolding yet again across SE Harris. Cluster of thunderstorms producing excessive rainfall rates over areas hard hit last weekend. In the last 2 hours 3-4 inches has fallen over the upper part of Clear Creek in a band from Pearland to Baytown. Significant street flooding is in progress and rises on area channels is likely. An additional 1-2 inches in less than 1-hr can be expected. Flash Flood Warning until 1145pm

And my daughter and son-in-law are caught in the middle of it too. They are in Kemah for a wedding this weekend(we have the grand daughter). She just texted "ask dad if this is ever going to stop. We are stranded at the restaurant." I told her Mom to send back, "not anytime soon". I wonder when, if they will be able to get back to their motel room anytime tonight.

We are getting another storm her at the house too. We are on the NW side back end of the complex and the storms are definitely trying to refire along it.

edit: Stupid arse bartender is throwing them out of the restaurant because "we need to close because all of the roads are closed and no one can get here." I wonder which part of his anatomy he is thinking with?!?!? I told my wife to tell them to stay there, but I am sure they won't and will try to get back to the motel. I am pissed!!!, mostly at the idiot running Joe's Crab Shack in Kemah!!!! We warned them about the flooding so hopefully they will be smart. They don't know that area of Houston well enough to navigate any areas of high water, even though they are in a SUV.

Starting to think the new storms over Houston are getting pulled my way.
I knew I returned that Sub to soon.....

Could this become a "core" rain event"

EDIT: Seems to be getting larger, and stronger...

It is pouring again here in the Spring Branch area of Houston. This is our third round of heavy rain tonight, but we have had nothing like the Clear Creek area is still having. This complex keeps generating more storms within it, at least on the rear side of it where we are. I hope it stops in Clear Lake soon since my daughter and her husband are there tonight and last I heard were stranded by flooding, but being told to leave the Joe's Crab Shack they were in because of the weather.(see above vb post)
