I got almost 2” yesterday and finished July with just over 10”. A great way to finish the month.

BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Warning National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1221 PM CDT TUE JUL 31 2018 The National Weather Service in League City has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... Northwestern Galveston County in southeastern Texas... Northeas...

1.23" after the first big storm. Still a 2nd line up to the north if it can hold together...

It is pouring here. A good old-fashioned. Florida style. I am overjoyed Happy dance!!

Don't want to jinx it, but the radar looks very promising right now. Please hold together!!!

Man if this all slides off the the east and misses us again....

EDIT: I may get rain, I just might get rain....crossing fingers!!

Rain chances lowered to 50% for tomorrow. Figures...

And today is another air quality alert day.

Similar to today, with calm winds, tomorrow is shaping-up to be another air quality alert day.

Incidentally, I just did a lookup:

Houston Air Quality: 161, Unhealthy
Tampa Air Quality: 7, Good
St. Pete is at 2. TWO. That's pretty amazing.

At home - Spring is at 152, Unhealthy.

St. Augustine is a beautiful place. The sand is pink-ish, similar to some of the beaches in the Bahamas. South Beach is a fun place to visit but I'd never want to live down in SE Florida....way too crowded, congested, and expensive. I prefer the Gulf Coast around the Tampa and Sarasota areas...more ...

I can't stand these Texas summers and droughts any more. I'm done. Throwing in the towel. I'm moving to the Great State of Florida as soon as possible....which in reality will be about 3 years from now. But I have a plan and a goal :-) hahahahah what makess Florida "cooler" than the Great...

Looks like GOES—17 won’t be operational any time soon:

I hope so. Everything so far looks like it's sliding off to the east of us.

Just got back from spending two weeks in Florida. This Texas heat with no rain is just miserable.

Yep, looks like today is it for a long time. So thankful I got .78” yesterday. In a few weeks we’ll be begging for rain again.

Somehow got .56” so I am happy with that. Amazing I got that much after seeing the radar, but I’ll take it

Once again, I am in a donut surrounded by red. Just like usual...

Tim Heller Retiring....... I saw that. I always wondered why he left the DFW market - perhaps it was a bit too competitive with aces like David and Troy. I wonder if this was voluntary or due to budgets and the station trying to save money. We’ll probably never know but the skeptic in me bets he wa...

I know they are not true “smoke stacks”. That’s just me typing in a pinch while riding as a passenger on the road. But there’s a lot more getting released than we hear about. I used to commute into town on the East Freeway, I-10, and by Mercury drive it smelled like a combination of bleach and vineg...

Here's something random because I don't see this every day. Riding along the east belt and then I-10 east this morning, you can see cumulus clouds (the only ones in the sky this early) forming out of the smokestacks from the chemical plants all along the ship channel. Quite a fascinating sight to se...
