Re: JANUARY 2018 - Winter Storm Warning/Advisory For Tuesday

Re: JANUARY 2018 - Winter Storm Warning/Advisory For Tuesday

It's sleeting fairly hard here in Spring near 2920. It's also starting to collect and stick on my front patio pavers where it hasn't before.

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Catastrophic Flooding/Torna

It looks like models are backing off from showing the storm loop back to Houston. Every run shows the storm staying farther and farther west. I suspect that will spare Houston the 30+ inches of rain. I'm thinking more like widespread 10-15. Models may be showing a lesser threat for Harvey inching o...

To the west and southwest, the air has been heated - ...

Re: JUNE 2016 - More Heavy Rain Possible Mid Week

"* HEAVY RAINS WILL BE DEVELOPING TODAY WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS.
RAINFALL RATES OF 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT
THE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED SLOW DOWN AND CLUSTER UP."

Are you sure this paragraph is correct (syntax nothwithstanding)?

:) You are one fantastic Admin Srain, I and I appreciate everything you and the forum's crack team of Mets do for us. I know forecasting Texas weather is in no way an exact science. We'd just appreciate a heads up as early as you can give us. Many parents were advised way, way after the fact and tha...

Would you believe UA has not cancelled our fight into IAH arriving at 4:40 pm today.....last flight 6:40, and if I change to tomorrow.... penalty. If they do cancel, we will already be heading to the airport. Grrrr.

I am still at Disney World on eternal hold with United Airlines. Thank heavens for the forum! I've been trying to read what has happened overnight (did the mayor say it won't be a problem? Downtown will be fine?). UA does have the *no change charge* on their site today. My question is when to schedu...

Re: November 2014: Severe Storms Possible This Weekend

Am I missing something? It appears that this system is moving to the northeast, and we're going to get a glancing blow from this? I'm in Spring and it looks like the system to the southwest is moving far north of us? What am I missing?

*Sigh* Another snow day with zero ice\icicles\snow on the ground here in Spring. If we have to make up a day in April or May I sure wish we could have had *something* to look at\play in. So...is there another one of these Snowpocalypses in our Feb forecast?
