Where is all this wind coming from? It is crazy windy here tonight!!

First let me say, I am sorry for your loss, I lost my dad in 1995 to cancer, so I know what it is like to lose a parent...

Second I wanted to say, thank you for sharing the picture and wow! I went through a tornado when I lived in Mexia, TX...it was an F1, and it hit in 1994....that was scary!

For me it would have to be Hurricane Alicia. I was 11 when she hit and I remember being scared and in awe at the same time, if that even makes sense. Of course there have been others that I will never forget as well!

Thank you for explaining Belmer, it just blinks/flashes on my screen and never loads the graph.

For what it's worth, the Austin/Round Rock area has a future cast of a pretty well define storm developing in the Gulf/BoC starting on Tuesday inching itself up to the coast into Wednesday... http://austin.ynn.com/content/weather/futurecast/#texas-animate Inching itself to the coast where Belmer? I...

I sure hope so Srain!! This is so bad!

There are also fires in Mexia and Teague, TX! This is horrible!!

I am too not getting hopeful for rain anymore, however that is not stopping me to pray for it. Another grass fire popped up in the town I went to high school in, 2 miles from a friends home, this in itself is enough to make me continue to pray. I thought once troughs started coming down, the chance ...

No you are not alone! But I am trying hard to keep the faith that one day soon we will get some much needed and beneficial rain!

Redneck, back S-L-O-W-L-Y away from the computer

In all seriousness, I feel your frustration, I really do!

If it did reform south of its current location, wouldn't that make Texas' rain chances even less?

So depressing!

I sit here and wonder, am I the only Texan who smells rain and some possible sleepless nights if these model runs verify?

Thanks everyone!

Has a disturbance ever moved WSW in the Gulf? That is where I am confused.

And we have 93L folks!

It is looking rather promising that a pretty stout cold front will be moving in by September 7th. I've seen numbers as low as 56 degrees per the 18z gfs. We'll see. Thankfully, the hundreds are on the death bed. 2 more days folks, two more days!!! Isn't this wonderful?!?!?!?!?!?! I wonder how many ...

I sure hope it doesn't rain all through the Labor Day weekend. That would be terrible! (a little reverse weather psychology). Now this is funny!!! :lol: I was just telling my family and friends how proud I was of myself being able to forecast Texas weather all by myself, Hot and Dry and repeat! :lol:

Thank you for that information Srain! As much as I hate hurricane season, this very well could be a very welcome sight around here right now! Not too stong and rain, can't beat that!! IMHO
