Soooo...where *is* that band going to end up? Corpus? Galveston? Houston?

Here's a silly question: I keep looking at pics like this one, and I keep seeing this rather large area of convection to the northeast. With all the focus of where Alex is going to land, what about that rather large area to the Northeast? Where's that going to set up shop? Or is *that* the area that...

Thanks again for bringing up the heavy rainfall concern singlemom. We appear to be on the dirty side of Alex with landfall expected to our S and W. The NE quadrant usually will contains a tremendous amount of tropical moisture that can feed into the area E of where landfall occurs. That can persist...

Somewhat off topic but a valid question: I'm volunteering for Cub Scout Day Camp this week in NW Houston. We were hit by a pretty intense (and rapid intensification) storm yesterday while the kids were outside. I know there's a little concern and associated need to plan amongst the Camp staff about ...

Off topic:

I've volunteered for Cub Scout Day Camp in NW Houston starting tomorow. I really wish Alex would make up his mind as to direction. I'm guessing that, once again, *tomorrow* will be the telling day or will it be another nail biter tonight?

Soooo....first the models took it to Corpus\Padre and up through the Texas Panhandle, and now it's taking it to the Florida Panhandle. I'm all for models changing as we get closer but isn't that a dramatic shift??

Here's hoping hail doesn't some to Spring. My homeowner's insurance carrier got out of the local market and I'm between carriers until tomorrow.

<snip> It snowed in Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, Humble, Kingwood, IAH, Katy, Cypress, Hooks, and many other areas. Maaan, I didn't see a drop of snow here in Spring. Just a lot of sleet. Just my luck. Here's hoping for something...anything...Sunday\Monday. I hope nothing is going to hit around R...

Lots of sleet bouncing off of me at the HEB at 2920....otherwise.....cold, cold rain. *Sigh*

I was looking at this radar:

I'm having a hard time seeing a rotation back around....it seems to be moving more to the East. Is there another system I'm not seeing that will push it more SE?

ooo0000oooh! *Whew!* Thanks, Wx!

I'm curious, what's the surface temp there?

Yep, it's sleeting like crazy here in Spring near Splash Town! NWS says 44 degrees here but I don't believe it.

Singlemom is here...

wow...that was a long, strange trip....
