Nightmare for a pool contractor. My hopes for having this done before Labor Day appear to be diminishing. Murphy’s Law at work I suppose.

Same here. I'll take it. We were surrounded by rain for awhile.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
404 PM CDT Tue Jun 29 2021


.SHORT TERM [Tonight through Tomorrow/Wednesday Night]...

Showers and thunderstorms that developed along the coast this morn-
ing have spread inland through the day. 12Z soundings did indicate
PWs around 2.1-2.2" across the CWA and this helped to fuel the mod-
erate to heavy rains that developed. Still expecting precipitation
to taper off quickly this evening with the loss of heating...but we
are seeing a couple of the shorter-range models trying to keep the
POPs in place over the coastal counties well into the late evening
hours (HRRR in particular). Otherwise, quieter conditions will pre-
vail overnight. A mid-level ridge that is progged to build in from
the NE could help to limit POPs a bit by tomorrow (afternoon). But
did opt to err on the side of wet until more evidence of this high
is available. And so based on the higher POPs/clouds, did keep max
temperatures tomorrow near 90. 41



.LONG TERM [Thursday Through Tuesday]...
Thursday morning weak upper ridging over NCTX will be slowly
weakening and drifting very slowly west and southwest while the
low levels remain moist with onshore flow into Friday. This should
lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly following a
diurnal pattern. Thursday night into Friday with an area of
disturbed weather moving into the SE Gulf and bringing an increase
in low level moisture for the weekend and upper weakness over
OK/AR/E TX opening the door to a weak cold front Friday wobbling
south into the area. Scattered to possibly numerous storms along
the frontal boundary.
..timing may change but at this point it
looks to arrive into the northeastern counties in the late
afternoon/evening. NW flow events can be a real challenge in the
summertime as to how aggressive to go with POPs.
For now will cap
them at around 70-80 percent but some areas could see much higher
as the frontal boundary continues to sag south Friday night and
Saturday. The potential for locally heavy rainfall increases with
PW of 2.2 to 2.4" pooled along the boundary and enough instability
to fuel storms overnight into the 4th of July holiday. High rain
chances will continue Sunday the 4th as the front stalls then
probably starts to wobble back north with weak disturbances still
meandering about over the region.
The typical diurnal pattern
probably won`t apply given the frontal boundary and abundant
moisture/instability so storms go well into the late evening
festivities. Monday and Tuesday a weakness in the upper heights
develops and drifts overhead or just south of the CWA and so SETX
should remain in a very wet pattern.
Temperatures Saturday through
Tuesday should be moderated by cloud cover/rain for the area and
slightly drier spreading into the northern CWA in the wake of the
front too.

.MARINE...
Relatively quiet with south and southeasterly flow of around 10 to
10-15 knots with seas of 3-5 feet through the weekend. Tides
remain elevated through the weekend and will probably be
contending with elevated tides and moderate to strong rip
currents. Seas should begin to build Monday into Tuesday as fetch
gets longer.

NHC has become a little more bullish on 97l developing. Setup still looks like a potential cruiser to me if it stays low enough.
