Pretty intense rain here in Stafford. Didn't see much wind. Lost power very briefly twice. I think we may have been just to the West of the worst of it. Having to drain the pool as the rain filled it up to the deck!

Halloween afternoon briefing from Jeff:

Multiple supercells with tornadoes have erupted over the region.

This is a dangerous tornado situation.

Low level outflow boundary remains generally stalled from Texas City to Sugar Land to Sealy to Giddings with several supercells having developed along this boundary in the last hour. Supercell over Fort Bend County has moved into southern and Southeast Harris County while cell ESE of Sealy is heading for western Harris. Low level outflow boundary is maximizing low level shear in a zone from Galveston Bay to Columbus and as NNE moving cells intersect this boundary they are quickly becoming tornadic. The cells are then turning E to ENE and moving just north of the boundary. Back low level wind field north of this boundary will continue to support a tornado threat for supercells lifting ENE across Waller, Austin, Harris, and Liberty Counties.

Tornadoes have been reported so the air mass is very much capable of producing both tornadoes and wind damage.

These cells are also producing extremely heavy rainfall of 1-2 inches in 30 minutes or less. Flash flooding is becoming an increasing concern if the low level boundary remains anchored in place and cells continue to fire and move along this feature. Latest radar trends suggest the boundary may be starting to retreat northward which would shift the tornado and flash flood threat north of I-10 in the next hour, but cells along the boundary will also be adding rain cooled air and reinforcing the feature.

Pay attention to warning information and if a warning is issued for your area…seek safety immediately.

I can really see the shear in the clouds with SE flow underneath and SW flow above.
