Bless you sir. I love where your head is at. You should come out to a tailgate this year for A&M games. We are at Reed Arena. The 8 pm Miami kickoff will be a doozy.

Those photos upthread were refreshing to see. Not only in context of the heat as mentioned, but also because it reminds the novelty was still enjoyed by many. In any other non-wx website, bringing up the event immediately spirals down to political baggage of regarding the energy grid debacle, how much "they hate Texas", etc.

Rain chances for today ranged from 70% to 30% and now are at 50%. LoL.

0.00” so far and not expecting that to change today. Happy 4th everyone!

Ensembles are brutal for rain over the next 10 days , after the mega bust event im not optimistic about believing anything rain related that the operational models show anytime soon if at all

Some streamers coming out of the southwest right now. But yeah, unless I see it visibly raining I put zero faith in models now.

I got a tenth of an inch about 30 min ago! Can’t believe it. Just enough to get the sprinklers going. :lol:

Great weather down here in Florida. Light winds. Almost no waves. Crystal clear water. Daily light show just after sunset with the east coast sea breeze coming across. Heaven…
Definitely heavenly.

That said, I think that there are other factors beyond ridging that allows Florida to get more rain than Texas during summer. The reason I say that is because I've seen model run after run, as well as radars, and Florida will have sea-breeze rainstorms show up even when H5 heights are as high as 594, whereas even the slightest hint of ridging over Texas (even weak 588 or 591) is enough to shut down everything.
A completely moist, tropical air column tips the scale.

You breath too hard in Florida and a thunderstorm will pop-up with ease, just for the heck of it.

You breathe too hard around here and it becomes a killer outflow that shuts down everything.

I keep seeing them setup in bands to the SW and as they move up towards the house they just fall apart. It’s like a curse. Complete opposite of anywhere east of Houston.

As bad as you might think the weather is this year, just remember that it could be worse. I found this on the HGX weather page.

Struck gold today finally. First wave of popcorn dumped 0.6 inches in about 20 minutes. On wave 3 now so can't see what has dropped since.

So happy for you. I know you needed it. Hopefully I can still get something but it just can’t hold together so far.

Radar not any looking better. I give up. Uncle.

I think I need to move to Florida. The weather in this state just plain sucks.

Good for you! Maybe we won't have to wait as long for more rain next time. Texas has not been impacted by a tropical cyclone yet this year, and I think the odds are very high. I think ridge placement will be questionable next month, especially towards the latter-half. Traditionally, it begins to pull back then which places us at a higher risk of being hit.

Went to run errands earlier, first being to get the truck washed and grab lunch. Coming out of freebirds, and skies opened up an poured for almost 20 minutes driving down the road.

Of course, get home and nothing on the weather station.

Both the latest 18z GFS and 12z Euro are starting to sniff out possibly a weak backdoor front around the 10-12th time frame, thats about the only hint of relief again i see in the models right now, we will see
