Low in SE Texas
This low appears on the (awesome) GOES 16 feed to be dropping further south than the surface chart seems to forecast. Possible Gulf threat?

Re: Low in SE Texas
I've been watching it all day and I found in SE Texas a NE wind, SW wind, calm wind in the middle of the rotation, and a N wind. Also it has pushed thunderstorms offshore and not due to outflow boundaries? Emily part-deux?

Re: Low in SE Texas
It is a 1012 mb non tropical Low Pressure area located near Galveston on a stationary frontal boundary . No development anticipated for the time being.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

Re: Low in SE Texas
"No development anticipated for the time being." I like that last sentence it gives us something to watch. Thanks for the nice map!

Re: Low in SE Texas
I will note that Flash Flood Watch in effect through tomorrow for much of Southeast TX region and rightfully so as Low Pressure area is just sitting there basically stationary, along with the frontal boundary. All that converging moisture in that region.

Re: Low in SE Texas
Yes I watched a video today of the flooding. Very bad situation, and I'm afraid if this moves a little closer to the coast even more moisture
The radar is looking like something wants free from the frontal boundary.

I hope not. We've had 3 flash flood warnings (including #3 at the moment) in the last 2 weeks and have been nowhere as wet as 3-400 miles east of here. It's cost us 2 flooded cars out of 3 but luckily just mildewed floors and not flooded engines. There are apparently 8 broken pumping stations at the moment waiting on parts. That's probably not ideal heading into the beginning of the middle of August. I don't want to be on the east side of any low be it tropical or otherwise.
NAM doesn't do much with it. 12km shows another low dropping down from the Northern Rockies over the next couple of days - more toward Arkansas though. That could be the feature that enforces the front on the east coast and hopefully helps 99L recurve. HRR does show continued rains for Lake Charles and the Triangle over the next 18 hours, so y'all be careful over that way.

Wow, glad the engines didn't get hit but mildew - only Clorox and some water mixed in a spray bottle - is your best bet with no drying in the up coming days. Good luck.

Re: Low in SE Texas
some interesting weather reporting stations. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=ncht2 Offshore - http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42035
I hope this dissipates. Just west of the triangle they've received close to 6 inches based off Doppler radar.
Also convection has been on the increase and the virga has also increased to the west of Houston's radar which may indicate a larger disturbance?
It's about 10:15 pm and the virga now has a new cell starting up, this could get messy. Also when the virga hits the coast it starts to produce convection.

it's kinda late for this convection to continue?
