Not trying to be funny here, but is Lee starting to move west? Looking at radars, it's pretty clear cut to me that the bands are indeed moving west. But, it'd be our luck that all the outer bands in the world could be forcing their way towards Houston and the death ridge will set up a road block at...

Would I assume that the bright spots down south on the Water Vapor imagery would be the possible center reforming or is that the original center?

I'm way back on page 22\23 and catching up on the day's posts. Guys, I want to stop and say "thanks" for being one of (if not) the best and coolest weather forums out there. I swore earlier today that I was just going to stop watching the models and reading discussions as it's kinda like w...

Man, the storm came within an inch of my house....lightning and thunder to the immediate west....and then it actually made a blank horseshoe around us. Maybe two drops of rain. Can't believe it. I see this happen all the time..like there's a special branch of the Cockroach Ridge right over 45. *sigh...

In terms of 18Z models, I'm assuming that it's "flip flop model" time, since the models seem to be pointed toward the Mexico border again? I'd be careful re: track models at this point. The spread seems to be in 2 camps. One for the Middle TX Coast and the other further S near Brownsville...

I think that should be a new NHC designation.

Wow! What a downpour here in Spring! Well over an inch of rain as well. Only downside is that we had continuous power surges and blackouts, but after being missed on so man pop up showers it was soooo nice to finally get some sustained rain! :D PS: Cub Scout Day Camp.....*shakes head* the kids were ...

Consensus is building regarding developing a storm in the Bay Of Campeche. The global models all develop a system. Some are stronger and the Euro is a touch weaker. What will need to be monitored is the area of disturbed weather in the Central Caribbean and the SW Caribbean the next couple of days....

Wouldn't you know it....we have Scout camp scheduled for the last week of June. Of course, that probably means "drought: more of the same." lol

Thanks for posting that data! I'm having a hard time comparing current conditions vs. your excellent data as it's zoomed in. Can you give me a reference point?

Thanks again

GASP!

We actually got *rain* for ten minutes here at 45 and 2920! Real rain! I almost forgot what it looked like!!!! lol

Why! Why is there a ridge riiight over 45 and 2920?

I am the one who came up with the term "Cockroach Ridge". It refers to anything that deprives us of rain and gives us drought, either high pressure or warm and dry air aloft. I call it the cockroach ridge because it is annoying like a cockroach. The vermin that runs around the house and y...

You'll be happy to know that the Cockroach Ridge (tm) has taken up residence over 45 in Spring. I've watched storm after storm go allll around us of late. PS Inquiring friends want to know if there really is such as thing as a "Cockroach Ridge?" They've thrown out everything from "it'...

someone launch a balloon already,,,,sheeesh... :D We need weather balloons here. It is not that expensive. I not so sure about the 'not that expensive' part. ;) Laughs....yeah, but Longview....*Longview* has a balloon.....and we don't.....laughs....but hey. A kabillion dollar budget deficit in the ...

Folks, I have a surprise for you: http://www.corad.org/texas_radar.htm Let us see if that trend continues. As in that band west of SA and Austin is growing? And is the Low still to the west of West Texas, and will the move through as well? Thanks! *Edit* Baseballdude answered my question (Pretty mu...

Frozen car but wet (not frozen) sidewalks and pretty dry streets here in Spring (near SplashTown). I'm confused, but holding on to the concensus here that it's still a ways off...and it's coming....though not the Icepocalpyse that we were thinking. Right? *Edit* "Ah!" Andrew chimed in with...

Before it gets crazy, I want to take a moment to thank our Pros. As singlemom stated, you folks are 'rock stars' to many of our folks. Your presence, sensibility, awesome informative posts, and sound reasoning, means so much to our community. Thanks. Now, let it snow... :mrgreen: Agreed, and thank ...

Our board is bi-polar Signs are good. Lets be patient now. Yes, but we love it anyways. Everybody....breathe....and...*round 2!!!* (and THANK YOU to all our Pro Mets out there for hanging in there with us! Our Fourth and Fifth Graders have been following you guys around all day. They think you're p...

Has anyone seen soundings from this morning? Is it looking more like a NAM solution (sadly, sadly, sadly)...as in maybe an inch?
