98 here today. Didn’t have much full sun today. Noticed some lawns are already starting to look parched. The countdown to the Florida trip is on. Pretty soon I’ll be done with this place for awhile.

The clouds are gonna keep me from hitting 100.
Fine with me. I was doing some yard work and it’s not bad, the breeze even felt a little cool in the shade. Definitely not a blast furnace yet.

97 here already with a forecast high of 95.
It’s what I expected and I still expect to roll triple digits here tomorrow.

Sorry Tireman, soil moisture won’t do much with this amount of mixing with the hot and dry SW flow aloft.

Looks like I’ll be getting my first 100-degree day on Wednesday.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the latest summer seasonal modeling (J/J/A) has trended hotter and drier.

Pretty heavy showers down there.

Look out along the coast. Watching for this to creep inland later.

Well folks, don’t fall for it next time the WPC paints us with 5” of rain

Weak sauce

Not calm anymore. Gusty north winds here. Sky getting dark.

Outflow marching south across Montgomery County.

After strong gusty winds all day, it has gone completely calm. I hear birds chirping and the train way off in the distance, like a dead calm first thing in the morning.

That cell in Liberty County is the real deal.
Those discrete cells are the ones to look out for, but the window is closing as the line out west goes linear and advances.

Those cells moving into Golden Triangle need to be watched.

Updated, near Louetta and Kuykendahl.
Hard to get my house on my phone but close enough. You get the point.

HRRR forecast later, near The Kingwood area

Saw that. Would not be surprised to see something very similar. Don’t like the trends this morning.

Wow, that supercell trekked ESE for hours, then <5 miles away, turns ENE and misses me. Didn’t need the hail anyway…
