Not sure where you are on "the coast", but I'm in Victoria, not far from the coast and WE NEED RAIN!


Galveston, Brazoria and Matagorda counties. We are dlush with water, dont need another drop for a long, long time.

Honestly right now I dont care about the farmers, I am a contractor and need,to pay my bills too.


You don't have that contractor insurance like the crop insurance?


Yeah...no such thing exists for us poor contractors.

I have burned through almost all of my weather days so far. If I were really honest, i could have used them all. Owner is not keen on extending days because of rain, outside of a few significant events. Not mt only issue, but it has been a recurring theme on this project. And it has hurt our production bad.

I suspect the green is lower atmospheric pressure. The units hPa are pressure in hectopascals. So green is a -1 hPa change in pressure at the surface.

Yeah and the 1 to -1 is scale such that the change is really 200 hPa and I assume VP is vapor pressure. So a lot of moisture lifting into the atmosphere in a couple of weeks.

The loop is showing velocity potential anomalies at the 200mb (upper troposphere) level. The more negative the anomaly (green shaded areas) the more support for thunderstorm development.

Isn't it about time for the NWS to adjust their predictions so they can crow about their accuracy later?

Meh. The majority of the activity starts up in August and tops out in September anyways. June and July usually don't have much cooking.

Not much threat to Tessus, but Hilary might give some people a bad time.

Things should start firing up before long on what may be the "best" conditions for storms in a few years.

That development in the GFS is just beyond the 5 day period for that TWOAT. If the model trend continues expect to see them start highlighting something by tomorrow.

But don't yall specialize in water-related projects?

We do water and infrastructure....but that doesn't mean that rain every friggin day is something I want, like, or can make money on.

And we do have a project in LC, I'm not on that site (anymore).
