As Jeff mentioned...am concerned that heavier rain may begin to organize closer to the US 59 corridor across portions of the metro area over the next several hours. On another note, there is a ton of lightning associated with the thunderstorms across western Matagorda into southern Jackson county.

Pretty strong storm moving toward the Copperfield area. Harris county rain gauge at Bear Creek and FM 529 has recorded almost 1'' of rain in 30 min. Could also have some pea sized hail.
