lordy...

all four stations now at or above records

IAH at 101F

HOU at 100F

Galveston at 97F (!!!... shatters old record of 92F, tied for second highest daily record in month of june)

CLL up to 99F, 105F at Olsen Field thermo.

showers firing all over may dampen some of the potential for even higher values at the farther inland sites

Went outside 15 minutes ago, a couple of rumbles of thunder, felt a few drops, not enough to even dampen the street or sidewalk.

Tornado warnings, except for high cloud bases, LCH morning sounding might have favored tropical funnels, but they usually remain aloft, best of my understanding.

105F at IAH for a record.

If the pattern wasn't changing slightly, I think we'd have had a chance for the all time record. I moved back to Houston in September, 2000, BTW.

Just based on a juicy LCH sounding, and expected ~30ºF T/Td spread, not to mention possible precip loading with almost 2 inch PWs, I posted the LCH sounding and my thoughts of some possibly impressive pulse severe today.

No real wind in the column, storms will dump into their own inflow and die, but I think they could rock and roll during their brief lifespans, and maybe we'll get a boundary moving into the (weak) mean flow constantly firing new cells as the old cells peak then die.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1112

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0205 PM CDT MON JUN 06 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN TX / SWRN LA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 061905Z - 062000Z

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/INTENSIFY OVER THE

NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS SWRN LA AND SERN TX. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL

FEATURE SPORADIC MICROBURSTS CAPABLE OF POCKETS OF STRONG TO

LOWER-END SEVERE WIND GUSTS...AND LEAD TO ISOLD WIND DAMAGE.

VISIBLE SATELLITE/SURFACE COMPOSITE SHOWS A BUILDING CU FIELD

DEVELOPING FROM NEAR/E OF I-45 N OF HOU EWD INTO INTERIOR PORTIONS

OF SWRN LA...WHERE TEMPS HAVE WARMED TO NEAR 100 DEG F. 12Z LCH

RAOB EXHIBITED A VERY MOIST/POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER WITH

LOWEST 100 MB MEAN MIXING RATIO 18 G/KG. THE AREA VAD/S

/KLCH-KHGX...MOST RECENTLY LDB PROFILER/ SHOW 20 KTS 3-4 KM AGL

FLOW--AND THIS IS SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN SURROUNDING VWPS/VADS

ACROSS THE NRN GULF COAST REGION. THIS BELT OF RELATIVELY STRONGER

LOWER TO MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW MAY ACT TO LOCALLY MAXIMIZE ISOLD

WIND DAMAGE CONCENTRATION. GIVEN THE STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATE

ENVIRONMENT...WATER LOADING PROCESSES LEADING TO WET MICROBURSTS

WILL PROBABLY LEAD TO ISOLD WIND DAMAGE AS STORMS MATURE THROUGH THE

AFTERNOON AND PROPAGATE SLOWLY WWD.

Not as juicy as yesterday. BTW, wonder what is up in the nearshore convection. Landbreeze generated? That could bode well for sea breeze storms later. The less juicy sounding may be reason for HGX thoughts of storms being more isolated today, before disappearing for another week (or more.)

On second thought, viewing satellite, that appears to be some kind of feature, with another weakening feature approaching Louisiana, which could be in the vicinity just past peak heating.

Glass 1/16th full on rain for the yard.

Eyeballing that next disturbance approaching Louisiana to get here just after peak heating, and it should probably fire storms just before peak heating in Western LA/East Texas and they have a moderate chance, in my opinion, of surviving here before loss of heating.

Sort of falling apart. I think there was an upper disturbance (darned subtle looking at 500 mb and 700 mb model analysis, ie, I couldn't see it, but it does seem to be there on IR) helped by a boundary, and now that it is sliding away frtom SETX, storms becoming more isolated, and eyeballing loops again, the next subtle feature over New Orleans is creeping this way, and will arrive after dark, and may pass by without fanfare.
