Euro widespread 3-6 inches, absolutely lovely!

Dew point is currently 76° here.. nuts!!

Mid-60s here, it was more comfortable just yesterday!

Feels like I'm in Mississippi.

That weather app keeps clinging to those 70% rain chances for today, geez.

There was an explosion at a Chemical plant near Deer Park. The smoke plume is on radar headed NNE….

Pemex. My friend works right next door to it.

Weather app and NWS still worlds apart.

I’m betting it stays dry this weekend, not the 70% of rain my phone tells me.

Yeah, outside an evening chance of an MSC/dry line tonight, the next real chance of rain (40% on NWS) is Tuesday.

18z GFS now brings the low in land, and has a pretty heavy rain band slowly moving through western se counties

It’s going to be an interesting next few days of model watching.

DP is 74°F for me

The 12z EPS is still very bullish over southeast TX. It’s now showing 4.5” to 6” over the next 2 weeks.

I soaked everything today. Weather app is now showing 80-90% chances of rain next week. NWS 20-40%

[Cromagnum]

All mention of rain dropped for tonight.

I never was expecting anything to begin with.

I question that daily from April to October but then I remember Houston is one of the few cities left that hasn’t been economically wrecked by Socialists, but it isn’t far away.

Then it will just be a hell hole, literally.

[DoctorMu]

Quite an outflow boundary. Will the cell hold together?!

0z Euro and 0z EPS are in great agreement:

[Stratton20]

Stark difference between the Latest CMC and GFS, GFS has reverted back to its dry solution for SE Texas with only 1-2 inches while the latest CMC opens up the flood gates, widespread 4-8 inches with isolated 12+, but im leaning with the EPS, euro and CMC guidance as they are all pretty much in unanimous agreement for 4-6 inches widespread

[Cpv17]

That’s an incredible discrepancy between the CMC/Euro vs GFS at this range. This is why you’re not seeing higher rain chances from the NWS or on the local news channels. Till there’s more agreement then they will split the difference between the models and air more on the conservative side. It’s pretty frustrating. Well at least for me lol. The GFS has been pretty inconsistent on location and amounts compared to the others. If I had to make a call right now I’d lean more towards the CMC/Euro.
