Changes coming later next week, it seems. Just in time for my wedding weekend.

Pretty common in Longview. Too many trees next to above ground electric lines.

Luckily, none for me!

I ended up with 1" on Sunday and 5.25" yesterday on the north side of Longview. The tornado warnings yesterday were something else.

At my house, I got 1.00" of rain on Sunday, and 5.25" yesterday from Beryl. Yesterday was pretty wild with all of the tornado warnings in E TX and NW LA. Winds were a little gusty at times yesterday afternoon, but thankfully we only lost power once for about 20 seconds and that was all.

Keeping an eye on Beryl...

I'm on day 8 in a row with measurable rainfall, with several multi-inch events within this span. Tomorrow morning will likely be day 9.

Another MCS moving through NE Texas. Another one likely later tonight/tomorrow morning.

Yeah it's been quite the stretch here. Don't think we're done yet either.

It's mid-afternoon, there's a MCS diving SE from Oklahoma into huge CAPE (4000-6000 J/kg), mid-upper 70's dew points, adequate bulk shear (35-40 knots), 100-200 m2/s2 helicity, and yet it's not severe. What's holding it back?

Yeah that was a nasty storm in West Texas. My post was focused on my area in East Texas, I should have been more clear. We ended up with 3.27" of rain yesterday. Just a bit of light rain this morning, 0.12" so far and I don't expect much more. I'm looking forward to some drier weather, I need to mow my lawn!

Well there were a few rotating storms along I-20 in East Texas this afternoon but nothing tightened up. There was one tornado warning near Marshall, TX.Now the focus is very heavy rain. A very large flash flood warning has been issued along those same areas of I-20 for this area. Not much lightning and thunder.

The enhanced risk was pretty good, but the slight risk extending up towards Texarkana was a bust. Models never really showed much north of I-10 in TX and LA, due to the substantial convection across S/SE TX and S LA... and that's what happened. Marginal risk for the northern uncertainty would have sufficed (and still not verify).

I-10 special today from San Antonio through Houston later mostly for wind/very large hail. Ended up with 1.49" yesterday.

1.26" so far today in Longview and it's not quite done yet. Nice soaking rain. I think tomorrow's severe threat is going to get pushed farther south/east again. Models not looking impressive (IMO) due to lingering precip tonight/tomorrow morning across areas of eastern Texas.
