Yeah, that's why I specified, "major hurricane". I'm mainly concerned with hurricanes strong enough and close enough to do major wind damage in Houston (since the flood risk is pretty much year-round). So that can be narrowed down to landfalls between Matagorda Bay and somewhere east of High Island. Went back to 1900 on Wikipedia (I know, I know) looking for hurricanes in that window.

I missed the only major to hit in that area after Sept 13 (Ike was Sept 13), a 1941 cat 3(?) that came in near Bay City on Sept. 23.

Non-major hurricanes after Sept 13 were:

Oct 4, 1949 - (strong) Cat 2 at Freeport

Oct 16, 1989 - Cat 1 Jerry at Galveston

So the old wives tale is almost true after Sept. 23, but the 1949 exception is close enough to a major to require an asterisk. Darn, I could see our current odd season producing another exception.

Shoot. The Cat 1 we got last year cost me $1500 in roof damage as it was.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022

Morning storms north of the area have collapsed. However, there is
a good likelihood they restart this afternoon, and make their way
south into the early evening. This is reflected in a period of
VCTS at all terminals beginning at 20Z in the north and carrying
on to 02Z near the coast. Have a TEMPO in place for a couple hours
at UTS, CXO, and IAH. Might be needed at HOU/SGR as well, but not
enough confidence to include them just yet. Once storms restart,
will be better able to determine what, if any, TEMPOs are needed
farther south.

Beyond that, looking for clearing and calmer conditions overnight,
but do have a few 09/10 placeholder lines just in case some
isolated spots of fog crop up. Don`t have to get too much into
tomorrow`s activity just yet, but do have a brief window for
streamer showers at LBX and GLS.

Already starting to re-form in our northern counties.

snowman65 might get a weak front in here next week that may lower dew points, but if your looking for a legit fall front, its going to be at least another 3-4 weeks for that

Will the outflow outrun it (again)?

Two frames later it’s already weakening. Sounds about right on cue.

I sense a magician trick right around the Tomball-Old Town Spring line, only to reappear around I-10.

It is raining. Some. A lot more bark than bite though. I probably have more tree limbs falling than raindrops so far. Still lots of lightning nearby so a small chance to get soaked before it’s over.

Up to 0.01”

I will have to say I don’t think I’ve ever had this much lightning in such close range and had so little rain to show for it. Ever. I’m getting a TON of loud, bright, close lightning flashes and barely a sprinkle.

Last day of “widespread “ rain chances before ridging dominates our weather again, next 10-12 days look dry, can we just skip to winter please?

Sure enough, the line is starting to glow red again as it approaches I-10. Might even spark another warning.

That would only lead to even less chances of heavy, soaking rainfall.

Yeah the SOI started going positive again. Back to a boring weather pattern. That CPC forecast for September calling for above normal rain probably isn’t going to verify.
