A broken line just blew through here. Couple drops of sprinkle and much cooler. Not expecting much in way of beneficial rain.

If you'd like to have a little chuckle, check out today's official forecast for Wixon Valley, and then look at the current radar.

Guys, not even the midweek system is looking good for us. Most of the rain will probably be north and east of us.

What a pleasant surprise today as more thunderstorms are developing out to the west and heading east into the area. :)

Light rain in the swamps of Pearland, too. Looks like it isn't over until it's over, though.

I’m having a hard time understanding how these storms developed today. There’s not even that much humidity or heat around to get anything cranking.

As of this writing, as of right now, NWS shows 70% for Wednesday for the Beaumont area. Watch! Tuesday and Wednesday it will dwindle to a measly 20-30% chance of showers. Same routine. Same broken record. Not even gonna get my hopes up. It would be a nice suprise, but not holding my breath!

I understand. Same here in League City.

The good news, though, is that your A&M fandom has prepared you for just these types of situations. :mrgreen:

Kidding. Maybe. Lol.
All in good fun.....

The problem is on Wednesday these storms are supposed to be coming in the morning. That’s typically when storms lose most of their punch and start falling apart.

Hopefully we can get some much needed rain tomorrow night. I like the trend with pretty much all the major models show the cap breaking.

Today just has that "feel" to it. Strong humid winds roaring out of the south.
