Drought? Never heard of her.

I can't wait to the see the newest Univ of Nebraska US Drought Monitor maps for Tx/La later this week. I'd guess there will be nary a color on said maps.

Goodbye, drought.

Bottle up all that rain and save it for the upcoming miserable summer. Don’t get the impression that we’ll be dealing with a miserable summer this year but I do think the 2025 summer could be miserable. This summer we have to watch the tropics. One major hurricane can make an otherwise moderate sum...

And in the next episode of January Weather Roulette, we will see 70 degree highs tomorrow, soon to be followed by inundating rains next week. Lol. The TX weather memes just make themselves these days, don't they?

We have healthy flurries coming down in League City right now.

not sute why I dont remember that one much....hmm

Right before Christmas when the temps went down to the low teens and we were below freezing for about 36hrs

Ch 13 says arctic outbreak then has highs in the 40s. LMAO Well, Ch 13 lost a dose of credibility with me when Travis Herzog openly mocked those (less than a week ago) adhering to the forecast models showing the very cold outbreak we are about to experience. Wish I would’ve seen this. Say no more…....

Alright, I think it's time to start taking this potential winter precip scenario seriously.
Good time to ensure proper pipe insulation is ready (precip or not, it's going to be cold).
Also, Travis Herzog has proverbial egg on his face for this one.

ERCOT is closely monitoring the weather conditions moving across Texas this week. Grid conditions are expected to be normal, and ERCOT expects to have sufficient supply to meet demand. Any outages are local in nature. Please contact your local electric provider for information if you are experienci...

I’m by no means a professional meteorologist, but this afternoon/evening has me concerned.

By the way, SPC has also included the HOU metro area (along with SETX/E TX/Most of Louisiana) in the "slight" risk for severe weather again on Friday.....

Conditions in and around the HOU metro are proving to be more conducive for severe weather today. The highest risk today will be east of the metro area into the Golden Triangle and South Louisiana (mostly south of Interstate 10) throughout the late afternoon/evening/nighttime hours. Stay alert today...

This is interesting… https://x.com/ryanmaue/status/1743313489731412321?s=46&t=t6uaykdJhHy0_m1NXPw4Cg Not real sure how to perceive this… With all the meteorological extremes we have seen in the last, say, 10-20 years, not much would shock me, but seeing a forecast calling for temps to be FIFTY ...

Are there still PDS soundings/chatter for Monday?

I heard THUNDER for the first time in decades (lol) early this morning in League City. *Smitten*

That's a change in tune.....he was almost belligerent toward the idea just a few days ago and essentially mocking those who were espousing the cold forecasts.

, Global models and ensemble’s do show arctic air becoming a big player starting next week and beyond, I think abc13 made a post on facebook about no cold blasts in the extended range, based on what im seeing in the model guidance and how incredible the agreement is , that statement is a load of ho...
