That's what I'm asking. It seems as though we may be missing most of the bad stuff, which is staying well to the north. But will it inch its way toward us over the next few days? We're supposed to have several more days of this left.


If I had to guess I’d say most of southeast Texas stays dry today especially south of 10. Tomorrow will probably be more widespread.

Interesting tidbit from the NWS Brownsville early morning discussion....cross polar flow! where was this during winter :grr:

LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Tuesday): The trend for
forecast difficulty in location and timing of rainfall which has
been a hallmark of the past couple of weeks continues this period
as well...but there are a few interesting features on the map that
should help to resolve the issue during the first few days of the
period.

First: While rainfall and thunderstorm intensity (or occurrence at
all, particularly for the populated Rio Grande Valley) has been
the bugaboo...the focus may turn to the first true front in about
two weeks to cross part or all of the Deep S. Texas/Rio Grande
Valley region. Such a front would provide some welcome relief in
some...or all...areas from the summer swelter so far this May
especially at night. Unlike the pattern in the recent 10-14 days
which has been dominated by the subtropical jet with southwest
U.S./northern Baja cutoffs ejecting energy out of them, for
Thursday night through Sunday, confidence is increasing in a
northern stream interaction, including a somewhat late cross
polar flow at 500 mb diving into the eastern Rockies and
northern/central Plains. This flow brings down relatively chilly
air (for mid May) with a 1026+ surface ridge into the eastern
Colorado/western Kansas area by early Friday, with a fairly far
south extension of the nose of the ridge deep into Texas.


The NAM-12, which for fall and winter was often the most accurate
in handling associated shallow cool air masses into the RGV and
northern Mexico, once again drives noticeably cooler (and
refreshing) air into most of the region, driving north/northwest
flow all the way into the nearshore waters by late Friday. The GFS
and ECMWF are typically tardy with this...but are trending in the
direction. Raw NAM-12 temperatures by Friday afternoon are in the
60s and hold there into early Saturday. While not going that far
just yet...the corresponding upper level pattern mentioned above
does fit the mold and an unseasonably cool Friday afternoon and
still cool-ish Saturday (70s to lower 80s) would not be out of the
realm of possibility. Such a trend would also change the nature of
precipitation a bit...overrunning rain with embedded rumbles but a
lower threat for severe thunderstorms.

Gregg County is closed and rightfully so with so many impassable roads and widespread damage.

I got 2.1 combined yesterday and today. Haven't kept track of the monthly totals. But I think I am around 5 to 6" for May, plus whatever fell in April. All I know is my yard can't take any more now.

Lakes are full, wildflowers are blooming, no big killer tornadoes have ravaged the state, it hasn’t hit 100 yet in most of Texas, and no wildfires are raging anywhere.

Sounds like a good spring to me! As Joe Bastardi likes to say, enjoy the weather because it’s the only weather you’ve got.


Agreed! This spring has been wonderful here so far, with plentiful rain and no heat waves. I'm very happy and thankful! Hopefully we can keep this going well into June.

yeah I know I had my complaints about winter, but this spring has been perfect to me, I'd rather not have hail busted windshields again :P and the longer the heat stays away the better

I saw a report that Lake Buchanan and Lake Travis will each rise at least a couple feet. They're already full.

I just finished a jog/run this morning. The air is completely calm. After I stopped and stretched, dang gnat or mosquito buzzing around my ear. Steam emanating from my own body. I felt like I was swimming! I checked the weather station. 72 degrees with 95% humidity, ZERO breeze. Eeek.

It's WET out there! :rain:

There’s a lot of moisture in the air out there for storms to work with later today. Seems like it’s a very unstable airmass.
