I also see the westerly jog in the latest satellite and IR views. Srain, any chance our area could see some TS watches/warnings posted? I hope it moves just a little further west to get that rain here!

I am wondering this as well. The next couple NHC advisories should be interesting.

The next NHC update (full package discussion) is at 10:00PM. My hunch is IF they are going to make any changes re: Watches/Warnings, it would be at that hour being so close to SE TX. We will see.

This is starting to feel like our last few winter weather events. About all that is missing is Candy Cane reporting back with his inside info on the content of the next advisory!

I will gladly take them both, but I am more than willing to take a few inches of rain in exchange for missing out on any chance of winter weather this year.

Some changes on the 00Z track guidance...

The 00Z NAM continues to advertise a WSW motion...

And Sat. views suggest it is doing it right now.

How much rain has fallen in southeast Texas today and what is the current status of the drought?

Not much rain has fallen and the drought is still serious.
But any bands of rain we get will help alot before the front comes through

So close yet so far away from the showers.... Literally raining in the front of the neighborhood and not at my house.... Keep swirling LEE!!

Strangest motion I've seen.

Check out the cool dry air entering north Texas now. It's heading for a rendezvous with Lee tomorrow night/Monday over SE Louisiana.

Is that bad for rain chances???

Rain has just begun at our house which is very close to 45 in Spring. Nothing spectacular but anything falling from the sky in a liquid form is a miracle at this point. I'm really worried about trees around our house and our foundation so here's hoping more is on the way.

Orange texas getting in on some good rains, looks like the west side is getting some dry air sucked in, but their are still some pockets of moderate rain still out there, lets get all we can get

I thought what Norcross on TWC just said when describing the "west-south" motion... He said something along the lines of "something going seriously wrong with the forecast"

Yeah here in Orange we have been getting some "great" rains...

Nah, won't hurt rain chances in SW Houston too much. They'll only drop a percent or two (for significant rain) -- from 1-2% to 0%.

Actually getting a very light sprinkle here at the house not. Not enough to wet the ground, but enough to fell on my skin.

It's raining now and the concrete is nice and wet!:)

Lee is dying! look at watervapor satellite! there is dry air being sucked in to the center. Lee does not have much longer in my opinion...

Is there ANY tropical system capable of overtaking our drought/dry air situation?!

No changes coming re: Watches/Warnings
