Re: Rain in SE Texas

I think they're right this time, people learn from there mistakes and usually correct them. The trough, over parts of northern Texas is experincing some very heavy rain. This trough will then be followed by a strong ridging, which inturn will create a "bleeding" southwest flow, as some people like to call it. The storm therefore will have a choice, which is mainly dependent on how far down the trough digs, and the ridge builds which could be quite a lot. Some temps in Texas are only suppose to top off at 70 degrees f, that's pretty cool for there. If this is a rain event for Texas coastline, the rain will be enhanced by the by the southwest flow and the baroclinic atmosphere, this could possibly lead to a hybird storm as banding features develop, isolated convection on one side of the storm.
