Right? And yes, like clockwork, the cell by IAH busts through as soon as the line passed.

Think the HRRR got the storms right in general, location was off though with the biggest cluster going north and east...sound familiar? Models are models, not crystal balls.

Cap must be pretty stout south and west considering the dynamics in play. A little more in rain to add to the "reserve tank" in preparation for summer would've been nice.

Maybe next week. Rest of this week looks dry.

Models are showing a stormy pattern again next week as a slow moving front stalls near the coast.With disturbances moving over the state in the northwest flow aloft.We'll see if the trends continue...

The CPC is seeing this as well:

Definitely looks like a wet pattern could be in the works.

If it feels hotter and in the last decade WHEN it (finally) rains it pours (like Harvey and Memorial Day? events), then you're right!

There is a marginal risk of Storms in Western Texas & Western Oklahoma for storms that will try to go up, but the Cap is too strong, it looks like that Kansas will have the first May Severe Weather event, the STPC (Significant Tornado Parameter Composite) is higher up there & into Missouri, but the STPC is too low (And the Cap) across Oklahoma & Texas will only give out the Marginal risk across Texas & Oklahoma, the uncertainty is just too high!

Could have a wet next few days ahead. Both the GFS and Euro are showing potential for 2-4” widespread.

Models don’t really show too much for this week. Maybe half an inch to one inch south of 10. 1-3” north of 10. The Euro however shows a much bigger system late into next weekend/beginning of next week.

Grrr. Why is everything staying north? This is so frustrating. Have not seen a drop so far for May in Beaumont so far. Seems like Beaumont southward just doesn’t get storms anymore this time of year, like our highway of storms we always got 5-10 years ago has shifted northward. Always forecasting 60-90% for us then when the system enters our area, poof.

Long-Range models are hinting a potential Outbreak across the Southern Plains Later this week, this coming weekend & into Next Week, but the agreement is too low for this moment . . .

But right now, it's only 50ºF, urgh . . . It's acting more like March than May! :x
