18z GEFS shows a spread from northern Mexico to SW Louisiana

where's that precip map that references the 35+"?
12z GFS had a max of 41" but shifted east at 18z with a more progressive look, anyway, 12z is below:

41 inches over how long a period of time???

Do you have a link to that map?

That is over 8 days or so, the 12z GFS cuts the storm off from the flow, it gets trapped over Texas with a stalled frontal boundary and a constant flow of deep tropical moisture. Basically, a worst case scenario.

From what it looks like though it should stay south of DFW for the most part right?
Last time that kinda rain fell the Trinity River was damn near in I-30

Wow, thanks guys that narrows it down.

At least we know exactly where 92 is going.

Houston is about to get their 3rd 500 year flood in 2 years

For reference, here is the 12z Euro, there is an area 35"+ in the bright purple and even wider spread 20"+ (image courtesy of @BigJoeBastardi and WXBell)

Really no talk of this in Houston so far..... What are the chances of this playing out? Low? Guess a wait and see approach is best but figured people here would be talking about it by now

So, we will get a half inch or so

Do you speak Spanish? They might be talking about it behind your back.

Hard to say, its a very complex setup with an ULL currently sitting over the Gulf, convection associated with 92L, a trough digging into the East with multiple shortwaves in the flow coming in behind it. The track of the ULL and the convection associated with 92L will play a role in ridging across the Gulf and Texas in the short term.
The trough digging into the East will also play a role in ridging but appears to be too early to fully pull Harvey out of the Gulf. Then the shortwaves coming down after will try to capture Harvey and kick it out. The 12z Euro turns it back into Louisiana while the 12z GFS misses Harvey and leaves it over Texas.
The 18z GFS is a slightly different setup that allows Harvey to get more NE, which also makes it easier for it to get picked up in the flow.
The differences b/w the 12z and 18z GFS aren't that drastic but they result in widely different results, esp. for rainfall across Texas.
ETA: Another thing, where Harvey eventually closes off also plays a big role in the future track.

We need just 3" to log our wettest summer ever here in DFW, that is what I'm aiming for! Hopefully, we will have a dry stretch before it cools off to keep the mold in check. Spontaneous fermentation seems to work best with a cold snap after a dry period

What's SWLA looking at? A decent amount of rain? I can deal with that as long as my power isn't going to go out for days on end.

FWIW, the 00Z NAM is stronger and east of the 18Z run and looks to be generally heading toward Galveston...
