I double checked Claudette's stats and she was a tropical storm before quickly gaining Category 1 status before landfall near Port O'Conner, Texas.

Yep. The is the official report but a lot of the damage would had to have led most to believe it was stronger.

The setup is still looking alright for a few strong to severe thunderstorms to pop up later on this afternoon across the eastern half of South Central Texas. CAPE Values shall exceed 3000 J/kg with a cap overhead. However convective temperatures today should be in the 80s to break that cap and get some storms going.

Note that the odds of seeing rain at your house are very slim, roughly 10%. But any storm that does develop could get strong and dump boatloads of rain in a short period of time.

I'm too afraid to get too technical in this forum since it really isn't a weather forum, but if you wish to do so, you can DM me and we'll find a way to get in contact. But, you can check out the latest SST trends here: http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/upload...8029_thumb.jpg

Ah... This is what we like to call "La Nada"
(yes it's supposed to be funny, feel free to laugh)


As far as convective activity today, are we still capped??? Because if not, you're very right, there's a nice dry line to the west and northwest and if it comes through, youre raindance would have paid off
I guess we should just cross our fingers, wait, and see what happens

We're still capped, which will limit widespread activity. But the dryline should be enough to ignite a few storms within the next several hours.
