Storm reports coming in. Several reports of wind gust 60-70+ mph with reports of damage. With many reports of 1 inch size hail in the metro also. We can consider this our first severe weather event of this years tornado season.

Angleton got messed up in places. The Sheriff's office is stating it wasn't a tornado, but thunderstorm winds would have had to be pretty nasty to do that kind of damage.

Surprise storm around 4 this morning with big hail that took nearly the exact same route south of me with the hail core. Raining very hard now though with light hail mixed in at my place. Someone got smacked hard south of me though. Doppler looks insane. I thought we were suppose to be quiet until Saturday afternoon.

Needville got absolutely smoked by that hailstorm about an hour before it blew south of me.

Wow at some of those pictures and radar. The front location outperformed the models and broke through the cap resulting in violent storms along a line in the Houston area.

It looks like more incoming for you all.

Our rainfall still stands at 0.00 inches.

Hopefully, this evening we'll see some rain, although there's a chanced at some light rain as the MCV passes south of us.

The mesos have really struggled with the location of yesterday and today's rain. RGEM looks like potentially the most accurate for today.

Keep an eye out for later this afternoon/evening after this initial blob passes to the south.

The next batch of widespread rain will be late tonight/tomorrow morning. 😉 Can't rule out completely thunderstorms forming as early as this evening though.

I’m not sure why models and Mets are having so much trouble pegging down timing and rain/no rain lately. It seems that either the whole event is a bust or the timing is way off. I know it’s not an exact science, but it just seems more off than normal the past couple years. It’s probably just me in my feels hoping for today’s gully washer. I realize it may come tomorrow, but I don’t trust it much anymore.

Its always been that way, especially when we're dealing with the subtropical jet.Theirs not a lot of data coming from Mexico so the models have always had a hard time with pinpointing timing and strength of disturbances coming out of Mexico.The mesoscale models are your best friend.And when you see most of them in agreement just like yesterday, you can have good confidence in the rain being here tonight/tomorrow.I only really post here when i feel there's good data to support a decent event.😉

BTW looking at the severe weather reports locally I feel the SPC should have had us under an enhanced risk yesterday,instead of it being placed over south Texas where hardly any severe weather reports transpired.

It feels like swamp *** in Weimar at the moment. Atmosphere feels unstable. Late afternoon into overnight could get frisky.

Absolutely nothing. The next 6 hours look bleak. Maybe tonight.

We are just on the warm side of the front now, so you'd think the heat would trigger something...however, there's some worked over dry air ready to block any development short term. The blow-ups are well NE.
