Just spent about 30 min outside and it already almost feels like it’s juiced back up out there and wants to start raining again. This is one prolific event down here in Wharton County. Dang near a foot of rain has already fallen here.

I've been busy today - meant to post earlier - but I experienced the same thing at about the same time earlier today. I went out into the garage, and it was cool. Stepped outside from the garage, and it was also cool. Then, about that time, we had some breaks in the clouds and the winds above the surface, from the SE started cranking. It felt like the temp. warmed ten degrees in a few minutes, going from cool to warm and muggy. I was thinking at the time 'this is just like a warm front went through'

I walked through the garage on the way back into the house, and the garage felt cool this time compared to the outside. It happened quick...

Back to now -- watching the radar for one last quick burst

The storms moving through right now have the heaviest rain Ive seen here at my house over the last few days with this storm system.

As the low moves east, it's going to pick up extra Gulf moisture and sling it Beaumont's way in the wee hours.

If you didn't get enough rain with this event you wont have to wait long for the next chance of heavy rain.As this Tuesday a front will come through producing either a mcs or squall line. And also producing a quick 1-2+inches of rain over the area.

The storms near Lake Jackson are tracking NE and are getting feisty.

Yesterday was 1.90”
Today was 1.71”

Storm total 3.61”

Pretty much spot-on with the NWS/HPC etc. Great job!

Nothing overnight in Beaumont. Figures. 3 day total? 0.23”

3 day total of 3 inches, finally. That makes 3.5 inches since the freeze.

can almost hear the trees and grass rejoicing

A grand total of 1.75" which the yard appreciates. Time to enjoy a nice warm mostly sunny Spring May day.

My grand total was 11.85”.

Just about 2 inches here. Enjoying the green in the Brazos Valley...


...while it lasts!

I just looked at the 12z GFS and we could be dealing with a lot more of what we just saw over the coming weeks. And Tuesdays system could give the east side of Houston a lot of rain that this weekends system didn’t provide.

I’m seeing some slight changes in the CPC 6-10 and 8-14 day forecasts. It does look like we will be going towards a wetter pattern which is definitely a change from the past few weeks as the CPC has consistently had us in the below normal precipitation area for quite awhile. We could be caught in between two blocking highs, one over the 4 corners area and one over the SE by looking at these maps.

Wow that's a lot!

3.63" here. The trees are happy!

Feels like swamp *** outside.

Could be an interesting forecast coming up in the 8 to 14 day period.

Hearing reports of a pretty significant tornado headed towards Dallas right now. Large tornado on the ground near Rio Vista, TX.

really blew up across Southern Plains

That stuff up towards Dallas is nasty.
