1030 AM CDT TUE APR 28 2009

.DISCUSSION...
STILL A GREAT DEAL OF CONCERN FOR THE AFTN FCST...EVEN AS THE BULK
OF THE PCPN MOVES OFF TO THE NNE THIS MORNING. LOCAL 12Z SOUNDINGS
(ALONG WITH MODEL/ACARS ONES) WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE THAT THE AIR-
MASS OVER SE TX REMAINS QUITE MOIST/UNSTABLE/RELATIVELY UN-CAPPED.
ALSO SEEING SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OVER THE WSW PORTIONS OF THE
CWA. SATELLITE ALSO HINTING AT ANOTHER SURGE OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER PW
VALUES MOVING UP FROM THE LOWER/MID TX COAST. THE ONE POSITIVE FOR
THE UDPATE IS THAT THE SFC BOUNDARY HAS SHIFTED NORTH SO THE RAINS
SHOULD BE FOCUSED MORE UP THERE. HOWEVER...CURRENT RADAR LOOPS ARE
INDICATING ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN CXO/SGR. SO NOT GOING TO
CONCEDE THAT WE ARE OUT OF THE WOODS JUST YET FOR THIS AFTN. GOING
WITH LIKELY POPS AREAWIDE ALONG WITH THE MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN/SVR
TSRAS. ANOTHER S/WV APPROACHING FROM THE WEST COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS
OVERNIGHT/EARLY WEDS. BEAR WATCH IN EFFECT

[ROLLTIDE]

Langham Creek: out of banks, but falling

Buffalo Bayou: flood warning issued a Shepard, secondary rise expected as upstream flow reaches lower end.

White Oak Bayou: lower portion out of banks around I-45.

Addicks: Corps is closely monitor rapid increase in levels. Still forecasting possible complete inundation of SH 6 and Eldridge Pkwy.

Oh Joy !!!

...bought a cheap (money is tight right now ) little rain gauge today ! ;-)
Let's see if some of this light rain we've been having will accumulate something in there ! =)

[ROLLTIDE]

Every time that I buy weather gear we never get any weather for 2+ weeks . Take for example my strobe lights on my car. It was 3 months before I got to use them on a chase trip.

[shorty]

and here we are with the 6th driest April on record...so close yet so far..

How frustrating !
Something similar happened to my Dad , he bought himself a little snow plow machine in '06 and THIS winter ('08/'09) was the first time he actually got to use it ! LOL

That was a joke, right????

[ROLLTIDE]

That was a joke, right????

No it wasn't we don't joke in the weather sections

[MandyM]

TDWR Radar now available for the Houston area !! YAY ! One is at IAH (the big airport ;-)..) and the other is at Hobby Airport !

[MandyM]

No rains as of yet for northern Liberty County ! Everything is just to the north of us ! (must be because i bought that Rain gauge and now it won't rain down here ! hahaha)...

[MandyM]

We had 2.50 inches of rain in northern Liberty County (i finally got to use my rain gauge..LOL...) !
I'm looking forward to the next few days with lower temps and lower humidity !!! YAY

We need rain! Haven't seen a good one since April 28th, when a lot of rain fell at night and kept me awake. Never seen so much rain fall in a short time.
