August 2022
Everyone should get something today.
So far this summer, Galveston + surrounding areas of the bay have been big winners. In fact, Galveston is the only first order site that has been close to average this summer for rainfall (i.e. even was slightly above its average for July).
So far, the radar looks good. Lets see if inner Houston and other places farther inland can get in on the successes. Weather.com is also throwing up abundant rain chances continuing next week...

What a damn joke.

Storms beginning to fall apart north of i-50 or whatever that cursed highway is called, another day of no rain, next
Yep, sure enough. Very next frame it exploded into red just as it passed me. Peeking “upstream” I see blue skies. Excuse me while I go puke now. This is just sick at this point.

12z Euro is showing a cutoff low developing over the South towards the end of the run. If this develops, we may have to watch for potential southern shifts in the track. It could be potential tropical trouble if it gets over the Gulf. The low is trapped underneath the ridge so it is moving west towards Texas by day 10.
Flash Flood Warning just issued Jefferson/Orange County. Storms headed west.
Been raining since noon in Beaumont. Another round headed our way from orange. Another 3-4” possible over the few hours.
Stay weather aware if driving 1-10 east towards Beaumont/Lake Charles.

Yeah but you have to remember that setups like this are notorious for flood events. While we do need rain, we don't need a flood. That's trading one problem for another.Stratton20 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 3:37 pm captainbarbossa19 i would love that, just stinks that its at the end of the model run though

captainbarbossa19 oh no you’re absolutely apot on, im just sayinf a cut off low would be the perfect setup for some widespread rain, even inland unlike today haha, but like you said with that ridge building in things could get interesting if it gets out over water, lots of available heat energy to tap into
Yep the same places get inches and inches of rain and some of us can’t even be spared something to wet the grass.djmike wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 3:36 pm Flash Flood Warning just issued Jefferson/Orange County. Storms headed west.

If the cutoff low forms, that will not be a problem anymore. This current pattern for August is starting off far different compared to 2011. Early August then was very dry for all of SE Texas. Bush recorded only 0.09 inches for the whole month. We were dreaming of even a chance of rain. This weekend and next week look fairly decent for rain chances and I also think we have likely already had our hottest weather this summer assuming a major hurricane doesn't move inland to our east.jasons2k wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 3:45 pmYep the same places get inches and inches of rain and some of us can’t even be spared something to wet the grass.djmike wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 3:36 pm Flash Flood Warning just issued Jefferson/Orange County.
