I also have to agree that giving the public the heads up on the potential for flooding if this system is progged to hang around. Being wrong is safer than being uninformed.

I was going to say the same thing. Catagory of a tropical system does not have to suggest anything other than wind speed. Rainfall from even just low pressure or a depression can be tremendous if it sits and does not move out. Dry air surrounding these systems effects rainfall more than anything.

Businesses closed early today. Doctors left at noon to prepare for the mess that is coming. I lost my very important doctors appointment. People evacuated. Those in Louisiana thought Texas was ground zero. We are down to 24 hours and basically moment casting. I've said it for years now that model ca...

Well I am both relieved, yet shocked at the forecast here in Montgomery County. The tropical storm warning is gone with a 30% chance for rain on Thursday. LOL

According to radar returns Laura is still very much wobbling. She will travel wnw for a bit, and then nw. At the moment I'm seeing another wnw movement. If this storm does not make that turn soon to remove most of any westerly component areas between Galveston and the border need to pay close attent...

57 will only give you a model driven forecast. Old fashioned forecasting is still out there scattered about. Neil Frank and Harold Taft were/are some greats.

Unless Laura is forecasted to come in wearing a mask I hope we can stay on topic. Could be a serious situation for someone in the gulf. Can't be mucking up the conversation. Know what I mean? LOL

I'm not sure how to fairly define a wish caster, or folks that miss out on rough weather. There are some folks who live for this stuff. We have tornado chasers, and even Hurricane chasers that put themselves in harms way for the thrill of it all and we don't look down upon them. I personally like a ...

No, trust me, you didn't. Hopefully the moderators will shut down the rude and nasty before it hits hyper velocity.

I just want to say goodbye to srainhoutx.
You will be missed by many.

Safe travels.

Though we did not go Severe across most of S.E. Texas, there was a very healthy line of storms, and moderate to heavy rain for some. Porter, Montgomery County, got a very nice period of heavy rainfall last night.

Agreeing with Jeff.. If we get said warm front north of the area, then we will increase the storm threat as thing destabilize a bit more. Any severe storm threat would be on Wednesday, per current forecast.

Stay tuned..

2 to 7 inches of rain is pretty serious. Unfortunately, this event is still unfolding, even at this hour. If your area is under the flash flood watch, I urge everyone to pay attention to the forecast for your particular county from Tuesday noon through Wednesday night. Instability will be limited, s...

You are welcome here as far as I am concerned. If you are offended by anyone, there is always the ignore feature.

Gosh it is getting bad out there, folks. Fog and rain to go with our New Years traveling and partying. Please be careful.

Happy New Year, everybody.

Well, I got .10". That's a tenth of a inch. Not quite the 2.8" I was bulls-eyed for from the HPC back on page 40. You are not alone, Jasons. If you live south of 105, many of us only got that brief shower activity as the warm front moved back north. Most of the severe weather, big rain to...
