New GFS not super bullish on rain

Which part of Houston?
Just says primarily south of I-10.
According to CenterPoint Energy, 38,036 customers are currently without power.
Not much else in the link really.

The 00z HRRR was, suboptimal for all of Louisiana south of I10, but lets put a pin in that as an outlier.
The 00z 3kNAM put over 12" across the bayou parishes and spotty big total across the Louisiana coast.
The FV3 had similar spots of rainfall pushing a foot along the Louisiana coast, and specifically SELA.
Enough there to think some parts of Louisiana are going to break a foot of rain. Just, you know, always a motherfricker to figure out exactly where.
Boooooooooooooooooo

Here's what I was talking about earlier when I said that shear opens it up and pushes the convection Eastward pretty much across the entirety of Southern Lousiana.
What will determine the rainfall amounts and where they are will be where the heaviest bands set up, how fast they are moving, and how much of the heavier precip stays offshore.
This is the simulated radar from the NAM Nest through Thursday.

Well none of that looks good for any of SELA at all

What is the difference between the various NAMs?
Resolution.
The big thing on the 3km is that its convective allowing, meaning its got a small enough scale to depict individual cells (you need like under 6 km x 6 km grids to really do this) and does a lot less assuming around vertical motion.
When trying to spot really high rainfall, they're better to look at.
The HREF, which you can access off the SPC site, is an ensemble of a bunch of them.

I’m putting the decoys out, they usually scare the storms away.

The way I've always understood it is that when programming the model you basically take a grid and lay it over/across a given area. That grid has points set at different, evenly-spaced intervals. With the NAM, those points are spaced at either 32km, 12km, or 3km between each point. The closer the point the higher the resolution. The higher the resolution, the more details you get. So, the NAM 3k is the higher res of the three, and will give you a clearer, more detailed idea of what could happen. However, because higher res models take more computer power to run, they can't be run at long range. To help with that, they are ran more often.

Is there any local news coverage on this storm? Local ad in Houston. I only found the local fox channel with coverage, but even that was just the freaking Isiah factor doing it. Not like legit coverage. NBC, CBS and ABC had their regular late night talk shows.
Eta: fox with regular programming now too.
