Rain chances look good for today

After 36 consecutive days without a drop of rain and the driest May-June ever in Galveston, there is some hope for relief this Tuesday morning.

A weak frontal boundary over central Texas, a high pressure that has shifted west and a weak low pressure trough are all combining to set off thunderstorms over south and central Texas. These storms are moving west towards the upper-Texas coast and may even develop further as daytime heating adds to atmospheric instability.

Below is a link to the Houston radar loop, as well as some maps showing the current weather situation:

I've received about 0.42" today with another cluster of thunderstorms headed (hopefully) our way this afternoon.
