Daily Weather Disco: Thread #1 LOCKED

Now that the trough has moved into the GOM, it will be interesting to what what, if anything develops from it. A lot of storminess out there this morning.

Perhaps frontal boundary would be a better name for that area where the convection is firing up this morning.

When should we be seeing the rain start? I am so looking forward to a day of nothing but the rain and the sofa!

Well, right now skies are rather clear, but once more heating occurs, we should begin to see our daily pop up of cumos, and then eventually blowing up to thunderstorms....some could be severe. It'll probably begin around lunch and afterwards kind of like a normal summer day.
