Yeah, just looked at the radar and there's a front line stretching from up your way all the way down to Fred's place, then west into OK and northern TX. They forecast rain for tomorrow here and looks like it may make it here. They did lower the probability from 50% to 40% tomorrow. The front line might just as easily push back north again...

I saw this today.... ....I just Smiled....

Well, actually, the temp forecast here after tomorrow and through the weekend are low 80s... I'll take that! Now, lets hope the humidity is low as well.

yeah., well, forcasted temps usually do drop when you have a probability of 10" of rain like all of us in East Texas do later this week--and possibly in to next week. That same front line up on the Oklahoma border is what is going to stall Harvey out over all of East Texas and SW Louisiana and keep it stationary. Unless the path changes, we all fixin to get very wet, ala TS Allison in 2001.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Allison
Forecast for TS Harvey:

The low pressure area (remnants of harvey) is forecast to
emerge off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula tonight.
Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression
or tropical storm to form on Wednesday or Thursday while the low
moves northwestward at about 10 mph across the western Gulf of
Mexico, possibly reaching the northwestern Gulf Coast on Friday.
Regardless of development, this system is likely to slow down once
it reaches the coast, increasing the threat of a prolonged period
of heavy rainfall and flooding across portions of Texas,
southwestern Louisiana, and northeastern Mexico into early next
week. This system could also produce storm surge and tropical
storm or hurricane force winds along portions of the Texas coast
later this week, and interests from northeastern Mexico to
southwestern Louisiana should continue to monitor its progress.

There you go again talking about that stuff you call rain... Below 100° today, that was nice. 104° by Sunday.

Planted corn, green beans, and cucumbers last weekend. Should get a crop from all of them if nothing eats the shoots. The cukes are already up. The tomatoes are refusing to ripen, completely green other than the Sun Gold cherry ones. Most plants didn't even set fruit and I'm not the only only with this problem. Too hot. I do like our weather.

Well GB, seems I recall not too long ago you said you'd like a little rain. Seems like you may get your wish here pretty quick. Hope it doesn't cause flooding for you like you've shown in the past. I don't know that it will get all way up to NE TX here where I'm at... They're talking east TX and SW LA, so more down in your neck of the woods. I guess it will all depend on the angle it hits TX (direction of travel) and where it hits...

When I got up this am it was solid overcast and almost solid humidity. It really felt like rain was imminent. Temp now is below 90 which is nice, and there is some sunlight peeking through the haze/overcast, but it is still very humid out. Still forecast 40% chance of rain this evening, but I see nothing on the radar that would back that up. The front that was so visible yesterday seems to have re-formed running across central to southern LA and into SE TX... Guess time will tell.

Seems Fred's journal is turning into weather central So how you doing over there Fred? Hope the day is treating you right!

Latest map shows it making landfall around Corpus, going inland & North a bit, then curving around and going SE and back into the gulf around Houston..may be not actually making it all the way back to the gulf on it curve. Hard to see the yellow dots on the map's background so I added some little black circles to each of them. Don't worry..that circle includes you too.
May get really rough as far as total rainfall..make full plans now.

Oh, I am doing fine here, Joe....we have gotten a half an inch 2 days in a row now, but it seems to be pushing out and cooler temps with less humidity is forecasted.....I was always taught that "Farm Talk" always includes animals, crops, plans, and weather. If ya are unsure about what another may have ya are always safe talking about the weather, cause we all have to deal with it and it makes for a good "Ice Breaker" in any conversation that all can join in on.....

 

[greybeard]

The rain has begun here..

My grandfather was a farmer, sugar beets at the end I think. LONG after he stopped farming, like decades, the evening weather report was a "no talk" time.
