Re: August 2023
Unfortunately, the mid to long range 00Z GFS run continues with the idea that our hottest stretch of the year will be the last week or so of August. It depicts the heat ridge settling in over the Central & Southern Plains while circulating very dry air into our region from the northeast. Let the...

Re: August 2023
The heat is made worse probably as a result of all of those tropical systems the model has going north along the east coast. Not really, because if you analyze the profiles upstream from SETX, or to the northeast of our region (the winds in the lower and mid-levels are coming from the NE on our sou...

Re: August 2023
I'm not sure what's up with this latest 18Z GFS run but it is forecasting some of the hottest temperatures SE TX has seen all year the final week of August. Very disturbing forecast even if it's incorrect, considering just how brutal this summer has been to us. I'm just glad this GFS forecast is way...

Re: July 2023
Just depressing - Lindner Sometimes, I do think the models overextend patterns/have biases. The +PDO/El Nino base states are supposedly already coming in based on what the S2K guys state: if that really is true, the the depictions of stuck ridging over Texas cannot be accurate. If you’re referring ...

Re: July 2023
For those worried about rainfall prospects, this afternoon’s GFS 18Z run comes to the rescue and brings SE Texas some relief from the heat in 336 hours…

Re: June 2023
I just noticed the 90-Day SOI (Southern Oscillation Index) has dropped down to -7.05 as of today. With this 90-Day value, we should be officially within El Niño range now.

Re: May 2023
What jumps out at me with some of the latest mesoscale models forecasted 48hr QPF totals is the low accumulations over Central TX, South Central TX, and The TX Big Bend areas…The same areas that were forecasted to receive some fairly healthy rainfall amounts earlier in the week and just a day or two...

Re: May 2023
Holy -SOI! 4 days in a row with -20 or lower values! 90-Day is now negative. I think once the Southern Oscillation Index 90 Day Value drops down to around -7.0 and below then we will officially have an El Niño. My only long term concern is a few of the long range climate models have ENSO values dro...

Re: May 2023
Though chances are currently low, we may need to keep one eye on tomorrow afternoon for the chance of isolated strong storms. The HRRR 00Z forecast soundings are depicting a lot of a CAPE (Surface, Mixed Layer, & Most Unstable) over the area on Monday afternoon between 11 am and 4 pm before a ca...

Re: April 2023
SOI index is spiking, but it could be contaminated by Tropical Low 23U. Keep in mind those Daily Contributions values are not the SOI. Just focus on the SOI monthly and 90 Day values. We’re still doing fine with a monthly value at -3.28 which is well within the neutral range. There will be occasion...

Re: January 2023
On January 9, 2012, we had a high precipitation supercell churn along the I-59 corridor towards the NE producing a few tornado reports and widespread street flooding through Fort Bend and Harris County including the Houston Metro Area.
