The dryline/front just blasted through. DP at 66°F and tanking. Brisk northerlies and heavy cloud. there's plenty of moisture aloft. I'm hoping for 2-3 inches of the liquid gold. We've had only 0.83 inches of rain in April. I'd like to shut down the sprinklers and A/C for awhile. You can see it adv...

It's only 11:24am and I've already reached my forecast high of 81°F.

The front is definitely north of me. I have a dew point of 72. Similar conditions a good ways to the NW too - I see 70+ dew point into College Station. There is a chance I'm going to be stuck with dark skies and hear lots of distant thunder to the northwest until the main MCS sweeps through later to...

Update from Jeff: Heavy rainfall is likely over parts of SE TX this afternoon into the evening hours. Weak surface boundary noted in surface observations this morning is stalled roughly along a line from Eagle Lake to Katy to Humble to Cleveland as noted by dewpoints in the mid and upper 60’s to the...

Jeff Lindner is seeing chances for heavy rain: Heavy rain possible Saturday evening into early Sunday across the northern portions of SE TX. Weak frontal boundary currently just north of Austin is sliding southward this morning with a warm and moist air mass in place across all of SE TX ahead of thi...

Not sure why y’all were expecting much. The models and the WPC QPF forecast never had much of anything for our part of the state. Not sure where those high rain chances were coming from. I’ve never seen anything that would warrant such a high chance of rain. Our local office is generally conservati...

Not what I was looking for - a preview of The Big Suck: In addition to that, the synoptic pattern looks to transition into ridging aloft, All the rain looks to be in north Texas over the next week or two. NWS had me at a 90% chance of rain Saturday Night. Now down to 80%. Let’s see how low it goes….

Early next week will supply some relief.

80s are fine with a lower DP

It’s not bothering me yet. I love the humidity when I run on the morning.

Glad everyone got some rain. My 10-day forecast is dry. This time next week I’ll be running sprinklers again.

Nothing came of those popup showers until they got to Louisiana. My grass needs water already, time to run the sprinklers as expected. .

I see lightning 3:50am

Cpv17 na send some of that cooler air down here, in a few months we will be begging for the next front to arrive Nah! Give me 50’s and 60’s for lows and 70’s and 80’s for highs and I’m good! You want cold then go move north lol This. I think the mods should move our weather stories to its own threa...
