Re: July 2017 - Increasing Weekend Rain/Storm Chances
We seen some amazing sunrises from Coastal Storms and sunsets with inland Storms throughout the week. This is what I remember as a kid growing up in SE Texas in a "typical" summertime pattern. I agree 100% on this. When I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s there were daily pop up thunder...

Then there's the need to pay in full for many FEMA Flood Zones -- cash -- $425+, instead of rolling it into an annual (paid monthly) insurance premium as part of a mortgage payment. Makes people in less impacted zones feel like it's easier to pass on it... until a TC hits and areas that "don't...

^Well predicted. There are some outflows moving southward toward the NE part of the HGX area, on the east flank of the ridge. Likely to run out of sun before they reach the metro HOU area.

Re: July 2017 - Isolated Rain/Storm Chances
A cell sneaks up on us from the east about 7:45 pm, just as I was about to mow. 0.6 in of gold rains down. Potential for stray showers through the weekend continues before the spigot is off for awhile.
