I think I will be stuck here in uptown tonight. It’s flooded between here and my house and the forecast has it continuing until 7PM. I have a coworker in Conroe and he was barely able to make it home in his F250.



Wouldn't drive around Houston right now, especially if going east.

The overall thinking is the rainfall rates should lessen into the later afternoon for a number of technical reasons. That being said, that band set up across the southern part of Houston is stout. Definitely small drops but giving back heavy radar returns, means it's dropping at a rapid rate.

Not a great photo, but a buddy in Houston sent me this.

That’s pretty damn high up that stop sign.

Per a meteorologist I follow on Facebook

quote:

Sometimes, a mesoscale flooding rain event can be used to predict future excessive precipitation threats. Consider that some communities between Houston and Beaumont in Texas may have received upwards of 40 inches of rain from the remnant of Tropical Storm Imelda (with more coming, until the circulation lifts up into the Arklatex on Friday). How could such a small disturbance produce so much water?

Satellite views show two causes. One is the slow motion of the system (that is how Allison achieved a similar feat in 2001). The other issue was noted in torrential rainfall cases in the summer of 2007, and of course Hurricane Harvey in 2017. That is, the "triple play moisture fetch". Satellite imagery shows a high dewpoint flow from three sources: the equatorial Pacific Ocean, western Gulf of Mexico/Bay Of Campeche, and the Caribbean Sea. That much convergence into a dwarf circulation produced repeated thunderstorm formation, and training echo patterns about the little low pressure center. Think of the disruption to utilities and transportation along the Interstate 10 corridor. Could it happen again?

Well after maybe two weeks of a stable heat ridge (high cooling demand in some areas without power), numerical models show a tropical feature in the Yucatan Strait on October 4th.

Starting to see some signs that the Gulf might open up.

Track density view, it appears that the majority of the westward tracks might be Karen?





Day 10 Euro bends this all the way back to the Gulf

We have seen this before this season in the long range ensembles but haven't seen a system actually get turned westward. The Day 10 Euro EPS would suggest a westward track for Karen, if it verifies.

The GFS does have it pretty fall like for the Utah State game with a nice cool 88F
