Re: May 2017: Late May Cool Front/Weekend Rain?

In southwest Houston it looks like we will just get one blob and then it will be over. Are more storms forecast to build?

Re: May 2017: Late May Cool Front/Weekend Rain?

I just saw this article by Blake Mathews on twitter regarding the potential for heavy rain on Memorial Day. I know Blake started as on of us on this board which is why am a bit taken aback by the implications made in his post. It looks as if he is referring to one GFS model run that was 7 days out ...

Re: May 2017 Weather -Active pattern contine?

Travel question: My brother and his wife are here in Houston visiting for the week. They had trouble getting here (spent part of the night in the bathroom of their hotel room in Blytheville, Ark) due to storms and I am wondering if they will run into equally bad weather when they leave on Saturday. ...

I like what he says later too... " There are no explicit records forecast, but we are uncomfortably close at both Bush and Hobby, and a warmer than forecast day might be enough to do it. Yes, I am forecasting high temps warmer than the day before the cold front. Yes, I am still calling it a col...

Re: February 2017- Enhance Risk Severe Storms Tuesday

Those areas of rotation being shown on KHOU right now - we are basically between them. Lots of roaring winds. One sent me running to the living room to check on the 'rents. It seems to have moved over us now. We are near gessner and bellaire.

Re: February 2017- Enhance Risk Severe Storms Tuesday

Heavy rain falling now in far southwest Houston. It's also cold. Not a bit of wind, but continual lightning. Not much thunder either.
On edit - it is as dark as night here right now and pretty scary.

Re: February 2017- Enhance Risk Severe Storms Tuesday

Waiting patiently in far southwest Houston... I'm gong to wait for the storm to pass before trying to head downtown. So far we are just getting occasional lighting/thunder, off and on wind and only a few drops of rain. Did any of you catch the major red sky at sunrise this morning? I couldn't get a ...

It seems like the winds are already diminishing in southwest Houston. Longer periods of time between gusts now, although the gusts are still high.

I will be leaving downtown Houston in about 20 minutes. What are the chances of me making it home to southwest Houston without flooding out? Anyone out and about?

Didn't even see this one pop up! 2. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico are associated with a trough of low pressure that is drifting westward.

Re: First Cool Front 2016 ??

My birthday falls on October 14, and it's a tradition for me to spend it in Galveston. 2014 it was very warm, but 2015, we had long sleeves and flannel on. Last year it was warm again. Libras are all about balance, so I am going to predict the first cold front to be October 14. :-) It's scientific e...

Re: Tracking the Tropics: INVEST 92L/Gulf Bound

Isn't the general consensus with storms that if they strengthen/organize, they are more likely to turn poleward? If that's the case, it's really dependent on when/if strengthening/organization begins, yes? Or maybe that's exactly what you just said. LOL. I've got the Fridays in my head and I can't t...
