    Those maps are usually delayed at least five minutes and sometimes up to fifteen.

    it's easily been raining for 20 minutes, now. and it doesn't even pick it up when Kam said it was raining on the northwest side. it's raining as far east as i can see from the top of my office building.

    it stopped raining in my area at about 3:30, so it rained for about a good thirty minutes. It wasn't the hard stuff like this morning. It was more like an April shower.

    yeah. the concern is we need as much drainage time as possible in case the harder stuff comes around this evening.

    Well now Billingsley says that it might just head west on the coast and spare us any of the heavy weather tonight. Sometimes I think this guy just talks out of his ass.

    Weathermen don't have a clue when it comes to these slow moving lows. The thing could move out with no rain, or it could stall and one place could get another 10 inches. The ground is saturated in most areas at this point, so if it starts raining in the 3-4 inches per hour ratio, somebody is in trouble. I'll be looking at the radar all night since my parents live in the 100 year flood plain of White Oak bayou.

    10" of snow isn't as bad as 10"of rain. Now 24" of snow that's a different matter.

    Anyway just be glad that you don't have to shovel the rain.

    Stay dry and maybe this pic might make y'all feel a little better

    I'm no weather guy, but it look like this system is right over Houston, which means (hopefully) the showers will just spin in a circle around us but not on top of us.

    http://www.click2weather.com/wxmap/1807601/detail.html

    The rain seems to be way south of us and moving east and the rain north of us is moving west. I don't see anything forming around Houston yet. So far, so good...
