rainy Saturday in H-town

We went to Haak today to pickup our wine club allocation. Planned to swing by Stanton's on our way back to Clear Lake, but Hwy 6 and 35 had other ideas. We ended up aborting our plan and heading back to CL

Railroad crossing there was flooded wasn't it?

Have the weather fear porn folks been able to struggle through the butthurt?

Great weekend!

Jeff Lindner's morning update:

6-16-26 530am

Increased chances for a short live weak tropical storm along the mid and upper TX coast mid week

Tropical storm watches or warnings may be required today for all or portions of the mid and upper TX coast

Potential for very heavy rainfall and flash flooding


Radar images this morning show a broad area of low pressure over deep south Texas with a weak frontal boundary located over the northern portions of SE TX. Active convection is forming over the Gulf waters into the local coastal counties. NHC has increased the potential for a weak short lived tropical system to 60% although guidance support is widely varying on solutions and track due to the weak and broad structure of the system. WPC is maintaining the moderate risk of excessive rainfall and flash flooding today and Wednesday.

Today:
High resolution guidance insists that a band of thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall will develop near the coast and spread somewhat inland through the midday hours. Radar is starting to show this along the coastal beaches and this is likely the start of this heavier rainfall threat for the morning into the midday hours. How far inland this activity spreads remain in question, but areas south of I-10 look to have the best chances for heavy rainfall and flash flooding through the morning hours.

Guidance shows a general decreasing trend in activity into the mid to late afternoon hours similar to Monday.

Wednesday-Thursday:
Tropical system of some sort looks to evolve between Corpus Christi and Matagorda Bay and move ENE/NE either across the area or along/offshore…uncertainty is high with respective track given the poorly organized nature of the system. However the track remains important as a track near the coast or offshore would focus the heavier rainfall on Wed-Thurs in that region while a track further inland would bring the threat for heavy rainfall into at least the I-10 corridor. Leaning more toward the coastal/offshore track, but not overly confident.

Rainfall:
Widespread rainfall amounts of 2-5 inches will be possible mainly along and south of I-10 with isolated totals of 6-10 inches through early Wednesday. Hourly rainfall rates of 2-5 inches will remain likely with the heavier storms and this will lead to rapid onset flash flooding. North of I-10 rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches are most likely through today.

Hydro:
Grounds are saturated from recent rainfall and additional rainfall will convert to run-off quickly. Rises on area rivers from recent rains are in progress and additional rainfall over the next 48 hours will potentially bring some of these watersheds to flood stage by late week. Creeks and bayous across Harris County are doing good this morning, but there remains some concern that intense rainfall rates will result in significant and rapid rises.

Tides:
Coastal tides will begin to increase today into Wednesday as the coastal tropical system moves into the area. Current forecasts keep water levels around 1-2 feet above normal (3-4 feet above MLLW or the barnacle level). Some minor coastal flooding remains possible at times of high tide into Wednesday.

Winds:
Winds will increase across the coastal waters and coastal counties today into Wednesday with widespread 20-30mph and gusts into the 40mph range along with building seas. Marine conditions will become hazardous as the coastal tropical system moves across the region.

In the recent weeks, weather dork fearporn pushers have moved away from the "OMG SE Texas drought, fire conditions extremely high" psychological rollercoaster to the "OMG flood, turn around don't drown" psychological rollercoaster.

I haven't had my sprinklers on in a month.

This is great!

Going to the World Cup tomorrow will be fun.

This has been a big nothingburger so far. Today and tomorrow were supposed to be world stopping flooding. Now, that is Thursday. Meh.

Any reporters reporting from puddles?

Don't think they would've hyped it like they did if it weren't for the 3rd world sport being played in town, who am I kidding they would hype the potential of any storm

Happening now: @mattlanza Woodlands Tx, rain rates of 2-4" per hour are occurring and where a considerable flash flooding taking place @abc13houston @TxStormChasers #houwx #htx #TXWX #hounews pic.twitter.com/dZ7cKLe3pe

looks like this guy knew to swim for it.

There was spot flooding in different parts of town, and probably will be more.

Some intersections really don't need much heavy rain before their drains are backed up. It's not always the same situation all over the metro region, and people who don't know their way around can end up causing problems.

The coverage and alerts I've seen seem pretty straight forward, but I don't follow storm chasers on twitter or worry about r/Houston "what's wrong with this place" people.

When I got home from work yesterday I noticed some high water/debris lines on my driveway. The street was clear but I guess at some point the water got above the curb before it drained.

Wife is flying back in to HOU tonight and has to drive home. Really hope she doesn't encounter any flooded roads.
