* At 738 PM CDT, Doppler radar indicated a large band of moderate to
heavy rains and a few thunderstorms associated with Tropical Storm
Cindy advancing into the advisory area from the east. This is
expected to result in urban and small stream flooding in the
advisory area. Up to one inch of rain has already fallen.

Additional and rapid rainfall of 1 to 2 inches inches is expected

This is beautiful. I'm going to borrow this!

rain on and off by the bay winds picking up a bit

I should have added the link - you can find it & many more at NASA's SPoRT page:

• https://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/sport/

for the Air Mass RGB image, select "Real-time", "GOES-16 ABI", "Full Disc" in the drop-down menu - "Air Mass" option on the left. You can animate them, mesmerizing ... not sure how mobile-friendly it is though, I use a laptop

Question. How close was humberto to landfall when he decided to go from TS to a Cat 1 right before lanbfall? Anyone know? Not saying this will happen again, just curious. Hes been mentioned several time today over last few days.

Wednesday evening briefing. from Jeff:

Tropical Storm Cindy over the NW Gulf of Mexico 115 miles SE of Galveston Island

Tropical storm force winds are spreading into coastal Chambers County and the Bolivar Peninsula with gust to of 35-40mph for the last several hours.

An elevated oil platform over the NW Gulf of Mexico SW of the surface center gusted to 75mph this evening.

Winds at the NOAA buoy 30 miles east of Galveston have recently shifted to the NNW suggesting the surface center will pass to the east of this point. Radar data from both Lake Charles and Houston indicate that Cindy may be in the process of making the gradual turn toward the NNW and N.

Rain bands continue to approach from the east, but generally have been weakening as they progress into Liberty and Chambers Counties and high resolution short term models continue to suggest that most of the heavy banding rainfall will remain across the Sabine River Valley and possibly as far west of Liberty, Chambers, and Polk Counties. A few bands may sweep as far west as Harris, Galveston, and Montgomery Counties, but these bands will be fairly fast moving and generally produce only moderate rainfall amounts.

The next update will be tomorrow morning unless there are significant changes overnight.

About 150 miles SSW of Galveston. Claudette 2003 developed into a Hurricane 6 hours prior to landfall along Matagorda Bay after RECON struggled for hours to find an actual true center of circulation.

Houston isnt going to get jack from this. Water sprinklers tomorrow...

I remember Humberto's expected landfall constanly changing as it hugged the coast.

Wow. I remember both well. I woke up and drove to work during humberto and remember thinking man its windy. Never knew it became a cat 1 overnight. I remember claudette too. Amazing how they grasp that last bit of energy right before making landfall. Dont think cindy will pull a fast one, but hey. Its happened and as taught here in setx. Never let ir guard down till its over and north! Shoot, not even north, it will loopy loo and come back sometimes for one more lashing! (Allison)...

The buoy reading E of Galveston is a little misleading in that directly N of the center, winds are from the NE to ENE. Still seems like it is headed to Beaumont though.

[ticka1]

why does my forecast have rain chances for the next 10 days?

[BlueJay]

I'm wondering if I should let the sprinklers run tonite...

[ticka1]

wow so quiet in here

[StormOne]

It's actually being normal now. Looks like the lightning has subsided. At least for what may hit the metro.

I have to say the "NWS Local Products" "Threats and Impacts" pages are a vast improvement over previous years - big kudos to whomever designed these !
