I know it’s trash but the rain chances on TWC app are no better than the last 2,3,4,5 heck I lost count the number of “moisture surges” promising rain this summer, starting with El Busto the last week of June.

Woo hoo. I see 80-90% coverage of rain starting today thru Saturday for the triangle. Hadn’t seen those percentages since our blob in the gulf. QPF looks good for Houston as well. Hopefully we ALL get something beneficial between now and Sunday. Fingers crossed!

12z ICON now shows a weak tropical system after the passage of the weak front this weekend fwiw

Edit: The 12z NAM now shows possible tropical cyclogenisis as well
Regardless of any development this weekend is our best shot at rain, its either bust or feast, no in between!

30-60% chance of rain here through Friday night. About as good as it gets around here in mid August.

Without a tropical system...

The chance of rain will be approaching from the north, not the south, folks. I still expected the boundary to run out of steam when it hits College Station.

I say Houston annexes the Triangle and moves it all here.....we need to import their rain.

That’s the problem for me. The sea breeze is going to re-stabilize things before it gets here. I’ll believe it’s gonna rain IMBY when there’s something besides dust and pine needles in my rain gauge.

.AVIATION [18Z TAF Issuance]...
Storms...convection...have struggled to develop this morning due to mid level dry air inhibiting deeper updrafts. Looks like best chance of thunderstorms will be with boundary due to pass from north to south across the area later this afternoon and evening.
Latest HRRR and model trends suggest we may see a fairly solid
line cross from N to S between about 21Z and 03Z. Based on this
carrying window of VCTS at TAF sites to highlight this feature...but expect will update to include a tempo group once line has been established and have increased confidence in timing and location. Might see such and update within next few hours.

12z Euro QPF over the next 10 days looks amazing for a good portion of SE Texas, widespread 2-5 inches!
