Re: January 2019 - Active Progressive WX Pattern Ahead
prob won't see any frozen stuff but wouldn't surprise me noth of I10 in se tx area could see something. Looks like the surface temperature well north of I-10 will be in the mid to upper 40s with the freezing level way up at 8000 ft as the precip ends tomorrow morning. Not a good recipe for anything...

Re: January 2019 - Active Progressive WX Pattern Ahead
Drove in to work around 6:30 this morning. Heading east on the south loop just past 288 I heard a couple of sleet pellets hit the windshield. Saw a few sleet pellets as I drove south on 45 past Hobby. HRRR has a thin sub-freezing layer overhead around 950mb (1500 ft). Thus, the sleet. Too much above...

Re: January 2019 - Active Progressive WX Pattern Ahead
Not too much of interest as far as our weather this week. cold front comes through tomorrow morning. Maybe another light freeze on Thursday morning, through the temperature may only drop to the mid 30s. Potential for a bit more of a freeze around next Wednesday (30th). Maybe upper 20s. Too cold for ...

Re: January 2019 - Rain/Storms & Strong Cold Front
The cold front is showing up now on surface obs. The source region is Kansas and Nebraska, just recycled old Canadian air for this weekend's front. No new Canadian air for Wednesday's front, either. No Arctic front unless you consider Nebraska the Arctic. You'll have to look farther out for any real...

Re: January 2019 - Rain/Storms & Strong Cold Front
Here's an example from the latest GFS. I selected an area in the middle of its snow prediction next Wednesday morning. Sounding below indicates precip forming in sub-freezing air between about 12,000 and 25,000 ft (mid-level clouds). Such precip would be light snow. However, it then falls through a ...

Re: January 2019 - Rain/Storms & Strong Cold Front
You have to be careful with those snow accumulation maps or the precip-type maps. I notice that the GFS is showing snow between College Station & Waco on Wednesday morning. However, if you look at the predicted sounding, it also has the freezing level way above 700mb (close to 12,000 ft up). All...

Re: January 2019 - Rain/Storms & Strong Cold Front
FV3-GFS also has some snow across SE Texas (late Wednesday) Could be snow.. going to be a small window if anything makes it to the surface. Red outline circle in the first image matches what the sounding shows for that same location/time. 12z GFSFV3 indicates that the snow may actually end up falli...

Re: January 2019 - Rain/Storms & Strong Cold Front
Models continue to trend less cold with Saturday's front. There really is no Arctic air at all in western Canada. In fact, the air up there is relatively mild for mid-January. Latest ECMWF doesn't even take north Houston (Bush) below freezing this Sunday/Monday. Can't rule out a light freeze, but th...

Re: January 2019 - Late Week Artic Front/Hard Freeze Possible
Sorry, folks. No Arctic air coming down this weekend. There isn't any Arctic air in western Canada (source region for our fronts). It's only modified Canadian air from the Northern Plains. Perhaps a light freeze (32F) Sunday/Monday. It's a cold front, which we see quite often in winter, but that's i...

Re: Ticka
I met Ticka back in the mid to late 1990s when we both participated in a weather chat group on IRC (Internet Relay Chat). This may have been before Windows 95 came out. Long time ago. Sad to hear the news.

Re: July 2018: Unsettled Weather Pattern Continues
Closing in on 9 inches for the past week in SW Houston (just outside the SW corner of 610). I think that my lawn is watered enough now.

Re: July 2018 4th Of July Outlook/Wet Week Ahead
Latest European model does indicate that the rain will be ending here around mid to late afternoon on the 4th. Perhaps the evening fireworks will go off as planned.

Re: July 2018 4th Of July Outlook
This morning's European run is much lower with precip on the 4th, only 1/4 inch across Houston. Closer to the GFS, which has about an inch of rain.

Re: July 2018 4th Of July Outlook
Not a lot of chatter on this system mid week. Are we confident it won't turn into anything? And are we looking at several inches like last week or just a few? It'll "turn into" some rain for us on the 4th. No tropical development. Euro has anywhere from 2-6 inches across SE TX next Wed/Th...

Re: July 2018 4th Of July Outlook
Both the GFS and European model indicate a fair amount of daytime showers and thunderstorms on the 4th. A bit cooler than normal temps and greater than normal chance of rain.

Re: JUNE 2018: Drying Trend & Summer Heat Returns
Fairly cool this afternoon. Only 91 at both Bush & Hobby. That's a degree or two below normal for this date. Might need a jacket this evening.

Re: JUNE 2018: Heavy Rainfall Possible Through Wednesday
I'm seeing rainfall reports across Harris County ranging from a bit under an inch over the past 2 days to near 4.5 inches. I've measured about 1.5 inches since last Friday in SW Houston (Westbury - just south of Brays Bayou near Hillcroft). More rain coming the rest of this week.

Re: JUNE 2018:Tracking The Tropics/Heavy Rainfall Possible
Development chances still appear slim. Chances of widespread rainfall totals 2-5 inches look high. Could be some training of echoes in some locations that may result in rainfall totals of 10 inches, or more. Impossible to tell where those locations will be. Generally a beneficial rain event, with so...
