The summer doldrums are here. Here is a song that makes you think fall. It is a unidentified song.

Some parts of Bryan received 3 inches of rain in less than 40 minutes.

I wish we had at least and inch of rain yesterday, but beggarrs...

Hanging on until...

I don't think its a sensor issue. My dewpoint was hovering around 79-80 all afternoon peaking at 80.5 with a temp of 99.5 and feels like 117.4. It felt horrible outside. Even now my station shows a feels like of 107.7 with a 78 dewpoint.

Oh no, the dewpoints have absolutely been up there the past few weeks area-wide.

But what I was saying is that, even factoring all that in, I often notice on NWS that certain sites like Sugar Land (where I'm at), Navasota, etc are often running notably ticks higher on the dewpoints than the "main order" sites like IAH, Hobby, etc.

Last week, I made the comment in this very forum that I thought this Summer was pleasant compared to last. I take that comment back and I apologize to everyone for making it. I was not in the right frame of mind. Lol

In fairness, last year already had a number of upper 90s and 100°F+ days logged by June. Rain frequencies were also notably lower.

The upcoming stretch of heat is bad, but relatively transient (as of now).

However, I really don't understand what it is that causes "gaps" in storm formation?

Like, in the screenshot below, solid storms from Lake Charles to Golden Triangle area, while another axis (albeit, more sparse) is around Victoria/Matagorda areas. Meanwhile, the Houston area looks pretty blank (for now).

From 2:30-2:35PM, HOU airport went from 97°F down to 91°F.

Something strange is happening with the weather...

Drove from League City to Lake Charles today and right back. Orange area/Lake Charles had some street flooding, it was raining so hard. Booooo!

I tried to catch a bunch in ziplocs and bring it back here, but alas, no dice.

GFS, CMC, Euro bring a front into the area about July 5-6. We'll see.

Be careful out there today

[DoctorMu]

Interesting. The latest GFS has a weakened Beryl delivering a truck full of lemonade to Texas and opening the Gulf as the Death Ridge withers on the vine...

[DoctorMu]

Hello, CMC - Beryl washes ashore weak and wet.

[Cromagnum]

Beryl up to 130 mph and not showing any signs of slowing down. We better hope the Caribbean can shred it up some.

[Cromagnum]

Don't look at HWRF...

And most of the models are showing a north turn eventually.
