JUNE 2015 -Scattered Showers/Storms To End The Month

[brooksgarner]

Are you guys seeing how the storms over Corpus are cutting off our moisture feed? Quite interesting because they "pick up" again just after Houston... will be interesting to see if Bill's northeastward progression will move the "forcing" over Houston this evening, flooding out the metro, or if Bill's departure will influence the band of rain like a departing shortwave: it falls apart as the parent system exits... My gut feeling is different than the WPC discussion... But seeing as brighter skies are warming us up and increasing our CAPE, I suppose anything is possible.

[HouTXmetro]

Iv'e been focused on HGX radar. I did not realize South Central/Coastal Texas is getting POUNDED!! Wow. Seems like Houston proper is being spared. Just outside the mess on all sides.

Although I'm getting TORRENTIAL rain right now here in Dickinson, I was curious as to why there was a gap in between the action. Thanks for the insight. Wait and see at this point, nowcasting has begun lol.

[brooksgarner]

Yes, you guys are under a pretty good little band in Dickinson!

If Victoria and Corpus weren't getting the rain, we'd be getting flooded-out in up here Houston all day.

It'll be interesting if the WPC forecast comes to pass.

Of interest, we're getting two different messages from officials: the "flood threat is increasing" (WPC) and "the flood threat is diminishing" (NWS). I tend to lean toward our local guys, but from observation I'd agree that while we're not out of the woods in Houston, the city got pretty darned lucky. Most people will never understand how close we came to a Memorial Day repeat, or worse.

There are two parallel lines of precip crossing the border at Laredo that are moving towards Beeville.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
332 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2015

.DISCUSSION...
EXTENDING THE FLOOD WATCH TO 11 PM.

VERY MOIST AIRMASS STILL IN PLACE AND FEEDING INTO THE AREA FROM
THE GULF THANKS TO TD BILL. STORMS THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE NEAR
CRP AND THE GULF WATERS TO A COMBINATION OF S/W OVER MEXICO AND
THE CONVERGENCE ON THE FAR SOUTH FLANK OF BILL MERGING INTO THE
TROPICAL MOISTURE WHICH ARCS AROUND INTO CHAMBERS COUNTY AND UP
INTO NEWTON/JASPER COUNTIES. THE MOISTURE STILL FLOWING BACK INTO
SETX AND WITH THE INCOMING MEXICO S/W THINK THAT IT IS A GOOD IDEA
TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO 11 PM. RAINS THOUGH INTENSE AT
TIMES SHOULD BE MORE OF A WIDE SCATTERED TO ISOLATED NATURE
TONIGHT...FIRST ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SWITCHING TO THE NORTHERN AREAS OVERNIGHT. INSTABILITY
DEVELOPING NEAR AUSTIN SPREADING EASTWARD WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS OF
90+ AND 72-75 DEWPOINTS SHOULD SPREAD INTO THE NORTHERN AREAS THIS
EVENING AND BE FUEL FOR STORMS MAYBE EVEN SOME STRONG STORMS.
RAINFALL TOTALS WILL LIKELY HAVE A VERY BROAD RANGE...MANY SITES
LESS THAN 0.25" BUT SOME ISOLATED AREAS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES POSSIBLE
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE EVENING. YESTERDAYS SOAKING
COMBINED WITH TODAYS RAINS HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF SATURATING THE
SOIL SO RUNOFF WILL BE EASY AND PLENTIFUL IF HEAVY RAINS DEVELOP.

THE BEST CONVERGENCE REMAINS OVER THE NORTH THURSDAY AND SO WILL
KEEP POPS HIGHER NORTH AND LOWER ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH THE
CONTINUED THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN BUT AGAIN MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE.

RAIN CHANCES DO DECREASE GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS RIDGING
BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST AND SHEAR AXIS RETREATS INTO THE HILL
COUNTRY BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD LIMIT RAIN AND LEAD TO
TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 90S. GREATER RAIN CHANCES WILL LIKELY
RETURN TO THE REGION AS MOISTURE POOLED OVER THE GULF FINALLY
MOVES INTO TEXAS LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGE
OVER THE GULF RETREATS EASTWARD.

.RIVERS...
MANY OF THE RIVERS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
ARE FORECAST TO RISE TO MODERATE FLOOD LEVELS AND SOME TO MAJOR
AND EVEN THREATENING RECORD LEVELS. THE FLOODING ON THE MUSTANG
BASIN IS NEARING HISTORIC LEVELS WITH HIGHWAY 59 CLOSED AND
REROUTED AS WELL AS MANY HOUSES CUT OFF.

.MARINE...
TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL CONTINUES TO LIFT AWAY WITH BANDS OF
SHOWERS REMAINING BEHIND. TAF SITES RELATIVELY QUIET IN BETWEEN RAIN
AREAS TO THE EAST AND WEST. AS BILL LIFTS NORTH AND RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST...WILL SEE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER
THE MARINE AREA SLACKEN SOME ALLOWING FOR WINDS...SEAS AND STORM
TIDES TO ONLY GRADUALLY DECREASE. HOWEVER WILL STILL MAINTAIN
PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW ON WESTERN FLANK OF THE HIGH...GENERALLY 10
TO 15 KNOTS...THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. SEAS CURRENTLY RUNNING 5
TO 6 FEET AT BUOYS 19 AND 35. SHOULD DROP A FOOT OR SO BY TOMORROW
AND ANOTHER FOOT BY THE WEEKEND.
