Re: JANUARY 2018 - Warming Trend Begins/Will It Last Long?

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.

Re: JANUARY 2018 - Warming Trend Begins/Will It Last Long?

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 ...

Re: December 2017: Pattern Change/Much Colder Weather Possib

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...

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.

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

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

I just hope it doesn't make people non-reactive when a SERIOUS couplet forms and it's a real, big tornado... It's scary night for folks who don't know this stuff is radar-indicated and could be a funnel cloud. It's obviously impossible to say if a twister is going to be bad, but many of these are wa...

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

What do you guys think about all these tornado warnings?

Broad-based question... Only one verified damage report of a McD's sign down on Galveston at Broadway and Seawall.

Daylight will probably reveal more damage inland, but ...

Keep in mind that accumulations happen over 3-6 days, but still... rivers/bayous, oh my.

There is also a period where it shows ~8 inches in 6 hours. Obviously that will change but shows that fast accumulations will happen.
Yes. Certainly in the cards!

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

Remember, the models are going to be drunk for the next few days... Just expect bad rain and potential wind. Anything else is pure guessing... even with the flights feeding computer models with data, beyond thinking it'll move into the Coastal Bend, there's no way to forecast a loop-the-loop scenari...

Re: August 2017: Increasing Rain Chances/Tracking The Tropic

Thanks! (I got to ride on that jet a number of years ago... "Gonzo", and was impressed at the vast instrumentation in that thing. Hard-edge computer racks and lots of science!) It flies high and fast.

Re: August 2017: Increasing Rain Chances/Tracking The Tropic

No center of circulation/closed-low, so no center to initialized model forecasts on. GOES-16 vis loop suggests it's centered over the northwest Yucatan Peninsula, south of Merida, Mexico... But it could easily re-center north of the Peninsula, or the TUTT low could inhibit development with wind shea...
