How is climate change affecting arctic outbreaks? Are we going to get less of them? Well if you believe the poles are warming, one would expect more severe Arctic outbreaks more frequently due to volatility and in places one would not typically see them. In reality, it’s not as simple as I just mad...

Yep. Crazy looking cell sw of SA that's moving very fast.

Half the state is in either in moderate to extreme drought. A weak TS moving at a steady pace from Brownsville to Lubbock would be welcome.

Not for me it hasn’t and I’ve been following meteorologists and the weather for 31 years. Yeah, well you’re probably older than me lol I haven’t been following it for half that long. This winter was hyped up way too much. It’s just an average winter honestly to me. My point is I don’t consider this...

Two things. 1) A big thank you to all the professionals and just regular weather nerds (said with affection) who have contributed here over many years. I grew up in Houston and my interest in weather is directly related to experiencing so much of it while living in Texas. I've lived in locations (LA...

Another big "NO" on Facebook forum.

There are cheap options and I'd be surprised & disappointed if KHOU couldn't figure something out. I'm guessing the web traffic isn't that consistent here, but like I said there are inexpensive platforms.

Have lived in Texas for nearly 4 decades, not sure if I've ever seen this many rainy days in central Texas. August was brutally hot with 23 days above 100 degrees, and only one rain event. September started off with a 100 degree day, then the rains came on Sept. 2nd. Over the next 48 days (Sept. 2nd...

If Michael had been moving a few miles per hour slower in the 24hrs prior to landfall the wind field would have grown significantly, storm surge would have been higher and the extreme damage more widespread. Would be interesting to see modeling done for such a scenario.

Very sorry to hear this. May she rest in peace.

Come Friday morning, we could have 5 named active systems in the Atlantic/GOM.

If that happens, I believe that's a first?

Tomorrow will be day 44 of 100 degree temps in Austin. The 20th century average was 12. For the last decade it's been around 30+.

Any rain in the long range forecast??

Sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I grew up watching his weather reports. Here's a link to ABC's look back on him.

I spent every summer near this location camping from the mid 60's to the early 70's. What an amazing site to see. Most of the sharp cliffs along the "normal" flow of the Nueces River are 200 to 300 feet! NWS Austin/San Antonio‏Verified account @NWSSanAntonio · 1h1 hour ago Here's a comp...

ATX and San Antonio got a trace or less out of this system. Bummer.

I can't stand these Texas summers and droughts any more. I'm done. Throwing in the towel. I'm moving to the Great State of Florida as soon as possible....which in reality will be about 3 years from now. But I have a plan and a goal :-) As Texas summers and droughts go, this summer has not been too ...

The Big Blob over Houston seems to be moving a little south of west as of 11:30am Wed. What are expected movements over the next 24-48 hours? On this path, San Antonio looks to be in bull's eye with Austin getting peripheral rains.

I am starting to watch for the possibility of heavy rain this weekend into early next week, as it is starting to seem like we could see heavy rain regardless of rather the system develops or not. Both The EURO and GFS show widespread heavy rainfall, just something to watch for now... I'm wondering ...

In geographic terms, I drove from Austin to Houston and back to Austin yesterday (Tuesday) between 10am and 7pm. It meteorological terms, I drove from 46 degrees with light showers then through fog & moderate showers around halfway, and then finally arrived at party cloudy and 74 degrees. Then t...

What's long range for January showing? Looking back at last two years we had one strong cold snap (both times around Jan 7th & 8th), then it warmed up quite a bit later in January.

These videos are stunning. Imagine if Irma hadn't scraped the coast Cuba (weakening it), and ended up a little more east with a Miami landfall?
