Get ready Texas

[dhweather]

Well, I must give the cursed ULL a little credit - it provided enough
to inspire some showers to move through here today, after two weeks
of no rain, and only 1.45 inches for the month, including the .22 today.

We had rainstorms yesterday evening, but they missed me just to my east. All we've had was hot and dry weather...

Going back to the initial post here, indeed looks like a counter clockwise mostly dry swirl just east of New Orleans now. Comments, weather watchers?

I watched the storms move through on radar - they traveled along I-10
and did not go South of I-10. Overall movement was just north of west.


But we are back to blazing hot and dry today.

Local mets are giving higher rain chances around here for mid to late next week. One met did mention to keep a watchful eye on the central GOM by late in the week. Hmmm, wondering if anyone else has heard this or something similar? We can use the rain here too in Vermilion Parish, LA. Same story of "no rainfall in some time" here too. Getting quite serious.

.DISCUSSION...

I DO NOT PLAN ON MAKING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON.
STILL EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO FIRE UP ONCE WE REACH OUR CONVECTIVE CONDENSATION
TEMPERATURE WHICH IS AROUND 92 DEGREES...SO I HAVE 20 CHANCE UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

WE CONTINUE TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SLOW MOVING WEAK CUT OFF UPPER
LEVEL LOW WHICH IN THE AL/FL BORDER AREA. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE SLOWLY WEST THROUGH MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE THE LOW MOVES INTO WESTERN
LA AND GRADUALLY SHEARS OUT LEAVING BEHIND WEAK...STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL TROUGH.

SO A RETURN TO A MORE UNSETTLED...WETTER PATTERN MORE TYPICAL OF SUMMER TIME
IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK.

Thanks for the quick reply dhweather. That's pretty much what I heard. Let's hope for some relief in the rainfall deficit.
