Morris Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Fabulous day today. Finally once below average. The irony is that it won't even count as one because it was warm after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 30th anniversary of the May 31, 1985 tornado outbreak coming up. Though the storms were no longer tornadic when they reached our area, it was the only time that I experienced continuous lightning while living in Long Beach. I knew something impressive was coming since the static on the am band was off the charts for hours leading up to storm time around midnight. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/office/localinterest/1985Tornado/1985Tornado.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What a night for those NW of DFW Some radar estimates out of southern OK are 12"+. Hopefully at some point that rain is able to make it further Northeast. It's pretty amazing how the rain shields seem to just hit a brick wall once they are East of the mountains.

Have to wonder if that's going to be the summer theme, if so, we're in for another dry one like last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 But it's been so warm as well as dry with a continuation of that warm pattern. Usually wouldn't a ton of warmth eventually equal a lot of convective opportunities. I mean this isn't the desert SW, when things get really hot, convection is not too far away. I think eventually we'll see the rains from convective activity really pick up as we enter the summer month especially if things are well above normal temperature wise.

I think eventually we'll see the rains from convective activity really pick up as we enter the summer month especially if things are well above normal temperature wise. The problem begins when there is no soil moisture anywhere near us. In order to solve that we need to tap the Atlantic we need synoptic rain to get the soil moisture back. Then we can create convection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday we had plenty of moisture in the air and no trigger. This time of year you need a shortwave to set off organized convection or a well timed front.

IsentropicLift Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's amazing that even with near record rainfall in May for TX/OK, no end is in sight, at least not for the next seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payback for August and September 2011 when we cashed in and Texas and Oklahoma got shafted with the severe drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY.png AUG.png sep.png Hard to believe but during the period from 7/29-9/8, 2011...picked up 27.46" of rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Another flood watch is likely throughout TX for this weekend with another strong disturbance coming out from Mexico on the STJ. 3-5" widespread with up to 8" where storms train. Locally we should make it to a foot of rain for the month. The flip side is the humidity, which makes for daily heat indices at or over 95 whenever the sun can come out.

jm1220 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Severe storms in south TX this evening. Tornado warning currently for western San Antonio, severe thunderstorm warning for us in Austin. Also a flood watch for all of TX through Monday as waves of rain are expected through the next two days, and a tornado watch tonight. I already had a T-storm this afternoon with some pretty solid wind gusts. Edit: Two tornado warnings in San Antonio now, and a tornado warning for the western portion of my county.
