Re: February 2024

The saving grace is that temps in March usually aren't all that hot — so vegetative stress would be low even if prolonged dryness were to verify for the month.

But yes, if rains don't get cranking come April, and especially May, then big trouble happens ... unless the wetter summer forecasts verify.

Re: February 2024

Plus the suburbs are blocked from the wind just like anything inside of Beltway 8 or inside of 610 would be, which was my point to begin with. It would be interesting to see the impact that vegetation (especially tree coverage) has on the perceived windiness. For instance, the comparison of your Wh...

Re: February 2024

When you’re from a small town like me then you’d understand. People from small towns count the suburban areas as part of the city. Fair enough. Are you from Wharton or El Campo? Both are pretty small towns, but El Campo is a good bit bigger as it's at least over 10,000 in population. That said, as ...

Temps at both IAH and HOU topped out a few degrees cooler — that 89°F would have been just short a monthly record high for both airport stations.

Re: February 2024

Y’all city folk don’t have to deal with it like I do living out in the country out in the open. Crap is annoying. Unfortunately, the next 6 weeks or so will probably have lots of windy days. It’s that time of year. But Jasons2k is not a "city person", though — he lives in The Woodlands, w...

Re: 2024 Hurricane Season Discussion

-PDO sucks. Yes, that is a factor that I've seen referenced a lot on s2k regarding the favor of summer heat and drought in Texas. I'm genuinely trying to figure out if the persistence of ridging/drought in the Texas area is due more to remote forcing from teleconnections like the PDO, or if there w...

Re: 2024 Hurricane Season Discussion

Wider views of the NMME and CanSIPS: As you can see, not really much of a difference between the two models. Pretty good agreement. FWIW "We expect that the Gulf Coast, especially the Texas Coast, will be at a higher risk for direct impacts from a tropical system this year." Paul Pastelok...

Yes, I've noticed quite a bit of predictions regarding an active cyclone season for summer 2024. I'm not sure if it's simply via Nina baseline, or if there is some other special phenomenon that is coming into play this year.

Re: February 2024

Yep, winter is over. This morning was the last chance this season for any freezing temps to materialize in the are — and they mostly failed to do so (sans certain cold spots, largely north of I-10). As for summer, it's possible that this year might be more forgiving than the previous two in terms of...
