Fair enough, I've seen chatter on this board and via certain twitter follows over the last few days....it just seems that a tropical storm hitting Texas in 3-4 days isn't something most Texans have considered as a distinct possibility until, well, today. Can't control what the "mainstream medi...

Good morning. I posted on blurb on my Facebook page. http://brooksgarner.com

We are monitoring the flooding threat late this week for south/central Texas as the remnant tropical wave of Harvey is expected to redevelop into a tropical cyclone... As of today (Monday 8/21/17) EURO and GFS ensembles point to a south Texas solution as of latest runs, but that could change. For Ho...

Thanks for all you do Brooks. We appreciate you ( and all the other pro mets, Jeff, Andrew, Srain, Wxman 57 and others I forgot to mention) for coming on and giving your updates. Stay vigilant as Dr. Neil Frank likes to say. It's my pleasure! Doc is right... don't forget those non-descript, degener...

NICE TO HAVE THE FORUM BACK, AFTER THAT HICCUP YESTERDAY. I'm pleased to see the database remained intact. :D Yikes... 00z EURO run... for weather on August 28th. ecmwf_uv10g_tx_41.png Of course, everyone reading this knows -- or now knows -- that 10 day computer model forecasts are almost meaningl...

Good evening guys... I'm tracking the chance for morning rain/storms tomorrow, if a thunderstorm complex south of Dallas survives its trip 190 miles southeast... HRRR says yes.

Brooks here: Waiting for Franklin to form... No threat to Houston, according to every computer model I can conjure, thanks to the steering currents around that subtropical ridge centered over the Bahamas. See you at 10pm on KHOU...

4:03am 7/28/17 ... I expect this activity to stay NORTH of the Houston Metro area, but from the perspective of the KHOU-TV viewing area, this stuff has already worked into northern Polk County and San Jacinto Counties ... probably won't make it to much farther south. However... There remains a chanc...

With the death ridge tightening its grip next week, alllllllll we need is a slight southwest component or a loosening of the southeast onshore gradient to pump the first 100° temps in Houston. Are we rooting for that? haha

I wish I had time to attend. Looks like an awesome lineup! You'll have to ask Josh Morgerman about his experience inside of Hurricane Patricia!

Yes, imagine seeing the solar eclipse from underneath a perfectly-formed and clear eye of a hurricane?

Super excited to announce that as of today, KHOU has GOES-16 imagery. We launch it on-air today at 4pm. You'll notice immediately the high resolution and butter-smooth satellite loops with imagery updating every 5min vs every 15 min. This will be clutch when a tropical system threatens Texas (or any...

Looks like a second skyline, if you're in Houston looking east!

August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse moves across America. While Houston's only going to be in the 67% zone of totality, just seven years from now we'll see a 94% eclipse in April 2024. (Waco and Dallas experiences totality in 2024!) As these are extremely rare for any geographic point on the map ...

Then there's the need to pay in full for many FEMA Flood Zones -- cash -- $425+, instead of rolling it into an annual (paid monthly) insurance premium as part of a mortgage payment. Makes people in less impacted zones feel like it's easier to pass on it... until a TC hits and areas that "don't ...

We were remarking at that too... Hey, stranger things have happened. The surface MSLP progs even show strengthening of low pressure **after** it makes, "landfall" (should something form out of the remnants of TD 4) Sunday... maybe strengthening Monday or Tuesday with some, "brown ocea...
