Things going as predicted. Hang on, between Houston and Beaumont!

Lovely tropical drizzle here with tiny raindrops in CLL. That's probably all we will see. Hope Imelda gets the lead out of her behind and begins to move north and out of the picture for those in SE Texas.

Sorry man. This is what I expected and what I was afraid of. It’s like I-45 is a wall... maybe when it drifts north over the next few days it can pull something that way, but for now you have to admire from afar.

Scott - meant to reply earlier - glad you are OK. Hang in there boss.

Looks like a pretty good core rain going on near Splendora / Cleveland. Houston proper and points to the south and southwest look to be done by my eyes. Eastern part of the viewing area looks to get beat up today.

Looks like the core has gotten itself organized with the rains just to the east of the circulation near Conroe, with a new band forming right along 249. That feeder initiating from Matagorda Bay is unrelenting for those folks along the coast up to Beaumont and points further east. West...thankful for not flooding, but could've benefited from a bit more rain.

No 30” for Waller, no widespread 20” for NW Harris...but that’s a good thing. I’d like to get some rain out of this though - geez. It is finally raining harder than a sprinkle here, and the core finally appears after being absent all night.
It appears that the CoC is coming to see you now. Might be a "careful what you ask for" situation. ;)

The thing looks to be drifting eastward, from the radar loop. But that's just me.

Good to see you again old neighbor!!

It has jogged NE for now. Possibly another loop, but it’s definitely more towards US 59 and the Cleveland area. So far I’m just getting intermittent light to moderate showers. 1.75” since midnight and just over 2” for a storm total.

All - just to clarify - this is a multi-day event. As the remnants drift off to the north, the orientation of the bands and inflow will change. If it drifts to the NNW as forecast, the Houston area could once again be in the inflow with heavy feeder bands.

It’s not over ‘till it’s over.
