Cpv17 yeah the difference between who gets just an inch of rain and who gets like 4,5,6+ inches could be nuts, as they say it’s feast or famine when it comes to this event

S of 59 and I-10 now looks like far less rain as the models flipped. I'm kind of amazed at this much rain on the cold side of a spring front without SJT support.

Hope you guys get it. I would actually like a little less rain. (save it for the summer!)

Yeah south of I-10 it’s not looking good for rain on Thursday. Overnight mesoscale models have really pushed the rain further NW. Friday looks more promising for the rest of us but I’m no longer expecting a big rain event from this. And by big I mean 4+ inches. That looks to be more towards Columbus and Brenham instead of along the 59 corridor like originally thought. I would say 1-3” for the rest of us. And don’t be surprised if you don’t see much of anything on Thursday. Unless the models change today.

So freaking lame if that pans out. Badly need rain now because we for sure aren't getting jack during the summer.

We're in range of the HRRR model. It shows a VERY active Friday as the coastal low cranks up. Looks like Thursdays rain wil be focused more in the northern counties with the axis of heaviest rain shifting south on Friday due to the coastal low.

I’m glad that wasn’t it because I didn’t get a drop here. Of course, now it has congealed into a solid line.
