Re: April 2024

Unfortunately, I booked a room north of San Antonio. I experienced an eclipse in Greenville, NC back in the day. I had a 3 inch refractor telescope and my Dad and I set up a straight optical line (we removed the eyepiece) leading into a box to view the image. We set up on a staging area on campus un...

Re: April 2024

Potentially clouds and rain could interfere with viewing the April 8 eclipse...but the rain will likely be light.

So, my long term progs are

1. Another dry Spring

2. Mega tropical season and potential landfall in the western Gulf (TX, LA) of multiple major hurricanes.

Re: March 2024

I love the changes! 😄 FYI It's far out but I'm watching the 2nd week of April for the possibility of a significant cutoff low in the southwest/southern plains.Combined with an active subtropical jet, such a setup could lead to a multi day severe weather & heavy rain threat in the plains.Still f...

Re: March 2024

Fresh. Clean. It must be opening day for MLB! Even the Cubs can't blow it today...at least until 6:35 pm tonight when they play the World Champion Texas Rangers.

Re: March 2024

0.63 inches this morning, and 2.77in for the month. Not bad since we started out the month fairly dry. Once the sad line departed this morning, we've had a nice day. Nearly Chamber of Commerce type weather.

Re: March 2024

The 10-day forecast looks amazing. Beautiful spring weather with a good chance of rain on Monday. Wow - the NOAA forecast couldn't be much better. Sunny before and after Monday's storms. I hope we have sunny days ahead for the Eclipse Day (4/8). We'll be camped out near Spring Branch in the Hill Co...

Re: March 2024

1.36 inches total IMFY for the event. Yard and everything are about as good as it gets. No watering, very little if any A/C on. Enjoying the non-Big Suck weather while it lasts. Yesterday and today have been ideal - low DP in the 40s and 50s.. We have new flowers in the ground. Garden bush planting ...

Re: March 2024

There was some flooding near the far south end (Tower Point) of College Station, but we had about 0.65 inches so far. IMFY We're right on the edge. Mostly light rain. Good enough.

Re: March 2024

I have a 90% chance of rain and thunderstorms tomorrow. Here's to an overperformance. Same here. We could get gapped again, but fingers crossed. It will probably rain, because I did not have time to mow today. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/namconus/2024032100/namconus_apcpn_us_17....

Re: March 2024

0.64 inches today and 0.78 inches over the weekend. Good enough for now. We'll need at least that every week beginning in April.

It's that time of year. Survive and advance.

Congrats to those who saw a few inches of rain and replenished the reservoirs.

Re: March 2024

Our weather station recorded a rate of 2.5 in/hour. It's too bad the storm cell won't dump on us for an hour, but we'll take it!

Re: March 2024

Back in Mississippi today. I'm liking the overall pattern setting up for us now heading towards April. The Euro and GFS continue to show an active subtropical jet over our area. In fact, they both show a jet streak on top of us setting up for next weekend. System on Thursday looks less impressive, ...
