Were due for a Weather change this week with Cooler Temps ( hopefully the 100 Degree Days are over!)and a good chance for Rain overthe next week!!!

The 15 Day Forecast for North/Central/West Texas calls for Normal Seasonal Temps ( Fall starts next week) and Above Normal Percipitation!

The reason I ask is because the Weather Channel is hyping things up like Texas is having another Harvey!!!

I'm a Meteorologist in Texas. My first advice - STOP WATCHING THE WEATHER CHANNEL.

accumulation of 5 to 10 inches with isolated maximum of 15 inches
across the upper coastal region of Texas into far southwest
Louisiana through Thursday. This rainfall may produce life-
threatening flash floods.

Here in South Texas it will be...

☑ Hot
☑ Humid

Everything else is little more than a rounding error.

In the past how much rain does it take to cause track damage/flooding in the Houston area?

That's how the Weather Channel and other news programs make money...hype whatever they think will keep viewer's glued to their screens...nothing like a good Cat. 5 hurricane coming, or wide spread severe weather warnings to 'scare' people with...

I'm a Floridian, & Dorian got my attention! I was also glued to the Weather Channel! I wish I had the means to help those in the Bahamas in a significant way!!!

They are The Weather Channel. I don’t expect them to talk about Kanye West or President Xi.

It all depends on how much rain we've gotten leading up to the big event. If it's a week after Harvey, a passing shower is a big deal. If it's 2011 and the drought is so bad we're using ziplines to get across the cracks in the ground in the baseball outfield...
