And here is the current long range radar loop:

This shows that the heaviest of the rains are to Houston's N and E. We will see if this image changes to match the latest above as the evening progresses.

Here at the house in W. Houston I have recieved 1.60" of rain so far. currently mostly cloudy and humid.

Yup, that was just before the really heavy stuff came down. Didn't last long though. From the looks of things on the east end, you wouldn't even know we had a tropical anything here.

We're still getting rain here in Beaumont. It's developing in the GOM and coming onshore overnight. Weather alert went off a little while ago and they re-issued a flood watch for Monday. Still more to come.....

River flood warning for Pine Island Bayou....not good for me. My house won't flood but access to and from my house will.

1.0" yesterday, and 0.62" today so far. But it looks like we have a feeder band coming ashore into Houston today. I guess we won't be BBQing.

1.6" yesterday and at least that much since 4am this morning. As wxman57 stated, we have a long training feeder band continuing to move in right over the Houston metro area now and for the forseable future on the radar.

Looks like it will be a dreary labor day for SE Texas and Louisiana as there are showers all over the place.

No mo drought for you eh?

southerngale · #48 Postby **southerngale** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 1:12 pm

I'd say my drought is history.....I dumped another 4.25 inches from my rain gauge this morning. I'm sitting at 7 1/2 inches from Miss Grace and there's still more out there!!

ticka...can you come pick me up on your ark??
