Yeah basically when this thing became a TS things started to change. It seems much smaller and moving faster than they thought last night and this morning.

My Ex in Houston said they are sandbagging bracing for flash flood. First I heard of it, what say you?

Nothing has changed. The WPC forecast hasn't really changed for days. The slow drift north has always been the projection.

The worry is our high res models are coming in very aggressive on the rainfall. HRRR has 21" falling in 14 hours. NAM is over 30" in 50 hours. Euro painting almost 30". Those are max values for the region of course, but there's plenty flashing for some huge rain totals.

seems like most of this is south and to the east, right? Today hasn't been too bad for west houston

My bad. Just got that from the local meteorologist at about 2 today. He had the highest totals at 15 and said it’s because it isn’t supposed to stall.

This reminds me of Hurricane Humberto in 2007 that went from nothing to 90 mph overnight and made landfall around the same area.. a little farther east. It intensified faster than any hurricane ever in the Atlantic basin.



It was pretty impressive on radar for having such a short life.

It's possible. Saw 5.5" in 90 minutes here back in June. Wouldn't call it likely though. It's more just the signal of ridiculous rainfall that has my attention, not the actual total.

I was in Lake Jackson this afternoon and early evening. There was a stiff dew, but nothing approaching tropical storm-ish. Seemed like business as usual there too.

Just filling in some detail. Your local guy was explaining the official forecast as they should.

I was more or less highlighting not much has changed on forward motion. It's come in a little sooner but it's still going to kind of slowly drift north.

Then spoke to the fact there is high end rainfall potential, but that's not in the official forecast that maxes out about 15". More about highlighting the high end but lower probability impacts.

Yes.

It's the coastal counties, southern parts of Harris, and parts east and eventually to the NE that are more consistently getting pinged for the higher end totals.

Basically south and east of the center are going to be getting the onshore flow and all the moisture funneling in.

In Nassau Bay, it has been a steady rainfall all day long. A few heavy downpours but the water level in the boat canals hasn't risen very much. No lightning or thunder at all.

My rain gauge is showing 8 inches since last night in League City. No Harvey like rain so far. At times during Harvey we were getting 3 inches per hour here.

When I look at this system on Full Screen Radar, it doesn't look like anything close to Harvey.

I think that Houston will be OK.
