Anyone else notice how when the rain approaches the League City area it dissipates? Almost like we have a little dome over us. Will this continue? I hope we get a little rain out of this system - not too much.....but our rainfall thus far has been minimal....I was hoping it would help with the dry conditions....any chance we might see something in a day or so....I know we've had LOTS of rain....just not us....barely ANY.....just hoping to not dry out too much once the system leaves.....thanks!
It's a complicated forecast. Some areas can get 10" while other areas get an inch. As of now, our area is in the clear while the TX/LA boarder is getting inundated with rain. We still have a few more days with this system. So just keep watching and see what happens.
I for one, was hoping for more today, but that hasn't happened. Hopefully we will get some more, but be careful what you ask for with systems like this!

Indeed....I feel for those in Beaumont....this system IS producing large rain amounts.....seemingly concentrated in one or a few more areas....just seems strange how DRY we are.....I guess I was hoping for the initial forecast of a more widespread event....we all need the rain....just not a few! That's the way it goes.....wish those in the affected areas best of luck....hopefully the gourds are dry enough to sustain this rainfall....
MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0322
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
625 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2018
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST TX...SOUTHWEST LA
CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY
VALID 182225Z - 190425Z
SUMMARY...EXTREMELY HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. RAINFALL RATES OF AS HIGH AS 3 INCHES/HR FALLING ON
TOP OF EARLIER HEAVY RAINS WILL RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING WHICH MAY
BE SIGNIFICANT.
DISCUSSION...AN IMPRESSIVE CONVECTIVE BAND WITH VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL RATES CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE FAR UPPER TX COAST NEAR THE
BEAUMONT/PORT-ARTHUR AREA ALONG WITH ADJACENT AREAS OF EXTREME
SOUTHWEST LA TO TO THE SOUTHWEST OF LAKE CHARLES. ALREADY AS MUCH
AS 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAS BEEN REPORTED...AND THE LATEST RADAR
IMAGERY SHOWS ADDITIONAL BANDS OF CONVECTION OFFSHORE OVER THE
NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO THAT IS ADVANCING OFF TO THE NORTHWEST.
THE GOES-16 10.3 MICRON/IR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A PERSISTENCE
OF COLD CONVECTIVE TOPS WITH THIS ACTIVITY WHICH IS ALL FOCUSED
AROUND THE NORTHEAST FLANK OF A BROAD MID LEVEL AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE ALONG THE SOUTH-CENTRAL TX COAST WHICH IS MOVING VERY
SLOWLY WEST. THE CONVECTION THOUGH IS BEING STRONGLY AIDED BY THE
PRESENCE OF A LOW LEVEL TROUGH ALONG THE IMMEDIATE GULF COAST AND
THE STRONGLY CONFLUENT FLOW INTO THIS LOW LEVEL TROUGH COUPLED
WITH THE NOSE OF 1000 TO 2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE IS SUSTAINING THE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
THE DEEP LAYER CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE REGION MEANWHILE IS
TRANSPORTING A DEEP COLUMN OF TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
WESTERN GULF COAST REGION. IN FACT...THE PWATS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
BEEN IMPRESSIVELY HIGH...AND RANGING GENERALLY BETWEEN 2.3 AND 2.5
INCHES BASED ON HOURLY GPS-DERIVED DATA AND AN 18Z RAOB FROM KCRP.
HIGHLY EFFICIENT RAINFALL PROCESSES ARE IN PLACE GIVEN THE
CONCENTRATION OF MOISTURE SEEN IN THE 500/300 MB LAYER AS PER THE
LATEST CIRA-LPW DATA AT 21Z. THIS COUPLED WITH THE VERY COLD
CONVECTIVE TOPS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO VERY HIGH RAINFALL RATES THAT
MAY APPROACH OR EXCEED 3 INCHES/HR.
THE LATEST HRRR/HRRRX GUIDANCE FROM 21Z SUPPORTS A SUSTAINABLE
CONVECTIVE BAND THROUGH MID-EVENING WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOODING IS LIKELY...WITH
SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF PROBLEMS ANTICIPATED. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE
THE CASE IN AND AROUND THE BEAUMONT/PORT-ARTHUR AREA.

Beaumont/Port Arthur area is going to be under the gun for the next couple hours. Already seeing some flooding and it will only get worst. Models try and push some of this convection further west but we will have to wait and see when that happens. 850mb moisture transport still shows that areas to the east are receiving the best advection of deep moisture but that is forecast to slowly transition west. As always with these systems we will have to monitor for any nocturnal events that may want to setup.
