Is that not to be expected along that area of the coast? Sea breeze pop up showers? I know Galveston and the local area has been inundated lately, but the SE Texas coast is known for sea breeze shower activity, especially in the warmer months.

I think the last decade it has been less frequent, by my recollection, leading to the drought effects and such 6-10 years ago. Massive timber losses and now dead fall piling up creating more fire hazards. It feels like it's shifting back now to the wetter climate with the seasonal showers that I remember before the droughts around 7-10 years ago, but I don't know that we've had enough time to really assess whether it's a shift or just a wetter point in time. I do wish that the jet stream and other weather drivers would shift to allow for the areas out west in extreme droughts to get some needed relief, to refill the drastically drained reservoirs out there in NM, CO, NV and UT.

We seem to be in a feast or famine mode of precipitation the last couple years. I don't know what the main driver is of that, I'm not a proponent of global warming. I know it's attributed to El Nino, or La Nina, climate changes, etc.. Just a few years ago we were worried the aquifers were going dry. Hopefully they are seeing a major recharge with the torrential rains we've experience recently. I guess that depends on the type of recharge zone.

1.5-3.5" on upper gulf coast. Haven't been in the field in a month. More rain Monday then it clears out. Really need to get cotton shredded and fields reworked. It's a train wreck

Warm conditions will prevail through the weekend across much of Texas. A few showers and storms will be possible across the eastern half of the state later today into tonight, however most areas will likely remain dry. A cold front will push through on Monday bringing much cooler temperatures to the region. The next major storm system is forecast to impact Texas late next week bringing a heavy rain and severe threat. Early indications suggest that some parts of the state could receive several inches of rain from this disturbance.
