So I'm confused I just washed Blake Matthews live on Facebook and he was saying that blob down there wasnt impressive he assured us of that....now we have Brookes saying things could get interesting.. so what do we believe? I’m not making a forecast assurtion in these posts — only suggesting trends...

I agree that the satellite presentation this morning is impressive and honestly a little bit eyebrow raising… I suspect if this convection persists through 2 PM Eastern time ( assuming it’s not purely nocturnal convection ), we will see at least a 40% hatch area in the NHC update. Of course, doing t...

How many inches? Got your attention. If consensus models (averaged separate models) like ICON (see tropicaltidbits.com) are even remotely accurate, the rainfall timing will change by 24hrs delay (M-T instead of S-M) plus totals would go up significantly. Will be interesting to track training potenti...

Hey y'all, just checkin' in. All possibilities on the table. 12z GFS closes off weak low near Brownsville. Even a tiny close-off of pressures could focus rain bands, near wherever that center approaches shore. Low level jet comes into play, and more... So many options still on the table... this is o...

Severe storm warning issued for quarter sized hail.

TEGNA WX Earth Design.png How about that gravity wave set traversing Texas from north to south?? Interesting to see on GOES 16 WV in its interaction with the shortwave coming out of Mexico at this time! (That shortwave I think may be a little punchier than models had indicated for much of the day. ...

What's up, guys. Watching this shortwave being ejected into Texas from Mexico, where there's very little upper level data for the models to process. It may provide, "unexpected" energy and dynamics for the late evening storms. Not sure if models are advertising this as much as it may becom...

Not planting that garden, yet!

I am pleased to announce that our KHOU Weather Forum will be well represented again this year in S Padre Island April 3rd through 7th at the 2018 National Tropical Weather Conference. I also want to personally thank KHOU and particularly Christine DiStadio for allowing me to attend representing our...

Many times, as was mentioned, the daytime high comes at midnight or 12:01am, then it falls all day so by afternoon it's 30 degrees colder than the recorded, "daytime high" graphic shows. Arctic air masses are also -- as has been mentioned -- notoriously under forecast by the models due to ...

SNOW??? (kidding)

I'm feelin' it too. Spring itch... Seriously debating planting some grass this weekend.

One thing to watch tonight with dew points in the teens and low 20s... any precip will wet bulb for a time before the warm air arrives.

Watching for a chance of sleet or freezing drizzle/rain for a brief window north of I-10 after midnight, should precip get here early. Temps near or just above freezing with dew points in the teens and 20s. Wetbulbing will result in temps falling should precip present itself. NWS says low chance of ...

Here's our preliminary snowfall totals map based on official and unofficial reports. It's broad-brushed in the coating-2" category since measurements vary depending on if the observer took hourly measurements and added them up, or just grabbed one measurement at daybreak, after the snow had set...

THANKS !!! -BG

Here's the swatch of 3"-6" of snow which fell in College Station. The coating-2" zone melted by the time this satellite passed over. (NASA TERRA)

I'm aware ... They're going to release a prelim in about an hour, but I'm trying to get extra reports to show on TV at 4.

Snow My Gosh!!
Has anyone culminated reports around the region into a list? I'm finding piece-meal totals, but there are large reporting gaps in between. No need to spend time on it, but if one exists, I'm looking for it. Thanks! -Brooks

Hi Guys. We still here. Dry and at PBS. Thanks for great work on this forum. We are referencing this for many of our updates.
