SE TX/SW LA weather: Much cooler and WET after Tuesday

[Flyinman]

I don't know if I should get a little excited but we are up to 60% Sat. through Mon. However that still leaves 40% (like me) who will not see rain.

[srainhoutx]

Nasty morning across Central TX. Hopefully we will see some of the activity move E over the next couple of days.

That would be nice!! Of course we don't want the nasty part! We are bone dry in SE TX/LA.

[southerngale]

Please no rain tomorrow afternoon, but after that, bring it on over! Things are starting to look thirsty around here.

Definitely been getting some good heavy rain here in Spring Branch area, but nothing severe yet. No flooding yet either.

[JenBayles]

Quite the frog floater here. Is it done yet though?!

[vbhoutex]

It has let up some here, but looking at radar I don't see it stopping any time soon. This system is moving very slowly east so we are getting some training as the storms within the system are NNE. Will need to watch it for sure. I have a meeting to go to at 8:45 too.

[JenBayles]

For the last 30 minutes or so the "red blob" over downtown Houston has been moving from east to west. is that a little low forming on the line?

This meso has been spinning all day Jen. The Meso Low does appear to be near Central Harris County.

[JenBayles]

Yeah, and I don't like the way it's just sittin' and spinnin' in the same spot. Now I'm getting nervous looking at the Langham Creek gauge height. It's over 101 ft above sea level which means street flooding should begin shortly - unless we get a good break.
