Looking at the radar is making me scratch my head too!!! I wonder if its going to make its way here!? Would be nice,we need the rain!! I just bought a hose for the yard, and the stupid thing doesnt reach the front yard!!! I will keep ya posted on the rain around here! I think I am going to go do the raindance in the front yard!! over and out!

Maybe you need to buy a longer hose.

Nice, happy cool gust front came through. Probably gusting to near 30 mph here in unincorporated Harris County. No rain, yet.

[Yankeegirl]

Holy Crap! You talk about some crazy wind! Its so windy, the pine cones are landing on my car and setting off the alarm!! No rain, but pleanty of wind!!

[Ptarmigan]

Hope it rains. We need the rain.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Looks like 8 drops of rain fell on the windshield of the car as little dust magnets.

[Yankeegirl]

No rain here... Just a big tease.... Maybe next time....

[Ptarmigan]

I notice storms forming around the Panhandle. Wonder if they will here tomorrow? It would be nice to see rain.

[Extremeweatherguy]

Some bursts of light to moderate rain here, but mostly just wind and clouds.

[Ed Mahmoud]

That was bitter, clouds and a nice gust front, but 13 drops of rain.

Back in April, we got our own private thunderstorm, well, it rained in Tomball and Conroe and Spring as well, this one pulled up short.

Murky here, clear not too far away, maybe the magic of differential heating will do its thing...

[Ed Mahmoud]

Towering cu visible out the window of the office building in the Galleria area...

[Ptarmigan]

I notice some thunderstorms forming. Hopefully it will become more widespread.

[Yankeegirl]

I wonder if those storms are going to make it to the houston area? They seem to be poppin out to the east of here....

[Yankeegirl]

Well it looks like I dont have to water my grass, we are getting a nice little spurt of rain.... no thunder, but rain... its all good...

[Ed Mahmoud]

Watering the backyard was enough to bring a moderate rain shower!

I was in Huntsville for that storm. The pine trees whipped around. I've been in much worse, though.
