Another day of some hefty, scattered storms yesterday! My weather station in Helotes (NW Bexar County) recorded 2.27 inches and there were quite a few of you who received 1/2 to 2 inches. As always with convective events, there were also some of you who saw no rain. Hopefully, those of you who didn't see rain yesterday, will be greeted by an afternoon downpour today, before high pressure builds over us on Sunday.
Looking at the latest satellite water vapor imagery, we still have lots of tropical moisture at the surface and mid-levels of our atmosphere thanks to a trough and weakened high pressure over us. Those two combos should give us an active day for more scattered storms.
It continues to look promising for more rain later next week, as a deep trough forms over the plains and sends down another rare July cool front. I'll have more on that on Sunday.
How much rain fell at your place and where?
