Re: March Weather Disccusion: High Pressure Ridge/Drought Co

Thanks for sending them our way Steve!! We need them!! Storms moving through right now in Spring Branch. Very little precip initially, but plenty of CG and winds gusting around 35 mph. Looked real nasty as the gust front came through, but no rotations noted that I could see. Rain is starting in earn...

Re: March Weather Disccusion: Rain Chances Ahead

I had a pleasant surprise this morning when I was awoken at 6am to the sound of thunder. It was off and on for about 30 minutes along with some fickers of lightning. I could use A LOT more of that!!!! This is just weird!! You(North of me) and a friend in Texas City(SE of me) report thunder and inte...

Re: Weather question need help

I don't know what you mean by broken. I am presuming that you know it isn't the batteries. I have found when I run into that problem(broken sensor)that once I find a replacement sensor it is usually more cost effective to buy a whole new unit. I have a unique situation now at my house. I have three ...

I'll second that one!! Severe season wasn't last year. It wasn't even boring, it just wasn't. :roll:

Re: February 5-11-11 Arctic Blast/Ice/Hard Freeze Warning

Models indicate no further cold fronts reaching southeast Texas for at least the next 10 days. 70s coming next week, possibly very close to 80 degrees here! I think I can easily handle that!! 22.1F this am at the house. I haven't kept real records, but if memory serves we have had more and colder f...

Well there is wrap around coming in from the N and NW and there is also cloudiness starting to stream in from the SW on the Southern Jet.

Re: February 5-11-11 Arctic Blast/Ice/Hard Freeze Warning

Anyone care to comment as to whether we would be talking about freezing rain, sleet, and/or snow if these incoming clouds produce any precip? IF they produce any precip, I would think all would be on the table. I have not looked at anything lately to tell me what the current temperature profile is ...

Re: February 5-11-11 Arctic Blast/Ice/Hard Freeze Warning

Sun is peaking in NW Houston as dry air filters in. Really bad news for us as temps will really drop tonight. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/sc/flash-vis.html I'm not so sure we will clear tonight. Sure seems to be a lot of cloudiness moving in from Mexico. Is that all high clouds or are we seei...

Re: February 5-11-11 Arctic Blast/Ice/Hard Freeze Warning

My poor Date Palm has bit the dust. I nursed it back after last winter, but I fear the worse. Ice today totally collapsed the canopy of that long nurtured plant. I've lost my Hibiscus plants AGAIN. I don't know if they will make it back this time. No amarylis again this year either since they won't...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

Just took a drive along the BW8 feeder roads in W Houston. We still have steady freezing drizzle coming down, but the roads and bridges seem to be in good shape at this time. I hope that drying starts pretty soon wxman!! Everything is getting glazed except the roads. Not as much ice in my area as la...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

In terms of now casting. What is the big concern. It is getting colder but it looks like the rain is ending as well. Are we concerned about more moisture coming or what's already on the ground freezing? I am concerned about what is on the bridges and overpasses freezing. If this precip ends qucikly...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

I can confirm freezing rain/drizzle in Spring Branch with icing beginning on vehicles, etc. 29.5f and still dropping. I will be calling my wifes office shortly if this doesn't stop right away and recommending they go home.

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

Radar continues to show frozen precip over W and NW Houston. Some ground reports are confirming this, but hopefully this will be over soon, based on radar. Right now it looks like one more round coming in from the SW. Part of the call on icing is the fact that humidities are still high and that will...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

Just saw a transtar cam at Hwy 6 and Westpark showing what appears to be some flakes mixing in. Can we get any reports from that area?
