The sun has returned to Houston.

It is windy but dry.

Now comes the hard part.

Everyone in Harvey's path take care.

No more Harvey.

Decent thunderstorm risk for a while. Unstable air aloft and one heck of a lot of water waiting to evaporate and form convection cells.

Flood warnings stay in effect until further notice, according to NOAA. Otherwise 91 and partly cloudy for the next few days. It'll let the bayous quickly fall as the rainfall surges go on by. Brazos should start returning to normal 9/6, estimates are. And by this point they're pretty good with estimates.

My place stands at around 31.3" rain since Friday afternoon from Harvey. Meh.
