Absolutely disgusting weather. NWS has the city hitting 80F today, 79 on New Years, and 78 on Jan. 2. I’ve lived here for 45 years, and there is absolutely nothing normal about us being in the 80s/near 80 for so many days in December and into January. Not saying it’s never happened, but it’s definit...

Thank you. At least in the city of Houston, we’ll be well above seasonal temps, with at least four days reaching 74-75 F, which is 10+ degrees warmer than the average high this time of year.

ERCOT made an emergency request yesterday regarding our power situation, a request that ERCOT says “it does not take lightly.” There is unfinished business with regard to the reliability of our grid, but if we can make it through this winter the Public Utilities Commission and Texas Legislature are ...

00z GEFS guidance, that is pretty decent support, not all members agree the frontal passage may be dry, especially for our area, about 7-9 members have snow in our area Seems kind of messed up. Really wouldn’t expect freezing rain in Houston as depicted in those maps with forecasted temps in the 20...

Not impressed with this ERCOT statement which made zero mention of Houston….

Models don’t pick up on winter weather events down here till we get into range of the Hi-res models. Never seen a global model pick up on a winter weather event for us at this range and show it consistently all the way up to the event. If something is there the Hi-res models should start to pick up...

The models have come and go with snow. Given we’re still about a week out I’m certainly expecting more changes back and forth over the coming days.

Nice to see 57 mentioning the possibility of a shortwave and snow in Houston on Christmas Eve.

Channel 13 has 19 for the low in Houston next Friday.

What is the 12z ICON showing for precip in the Houston area? Suppression would be way too strong the first couple days after that strong of a front for precipitation. We could however still get some action on the 3rd or 4th day after that. The 12z and 0z ICON only go out to 180 hours. That wouldn’t...

Yep, it’s already done that with this particular system.

I don't buy that 6Z GFS run for a second, by the way. It's been way too bullish with west Gulf lows all season. Odds are it doesn't have the pattern right. Right on cue from 57 😆 I’ll take my cues from 57 when it comes to tropical weather but I’ll take my cues from our on-air mets when it comes to ...

There’s a met on S2K predicting that it goes further south for a 2004 redux where we end up with nothing here. I sure hope that doesn’t turn out to be the case.

A white Christmas in Houston per 6z GFS. A sight to behold! http://www.twisterdata.com/index.php?prog=forecast&model=GFS&grid=3&model_yyyy=2022&model_mm=12&model_dd=16&model_init_hh=06&fhour=252&parameter=SNOWIN&level=SURFACE&unit=none&maximize=n&mode=...

A lot less than usual with the cold air mass already here.

From Travis on fb Christmas is now in view of our 10 day forecast, and right out of the gate we are predicting this to be among Houston's top 5 coldest Christmas mornings. It will likely be even colder for the days leading up to Christmas, and yes, there is a small but legit chance there could be w...

73 degrees on the 23rd in Houston? No thanks!

Christmas bullseye with half a foot of snow for Houston on the 18z GFS. Fun to ponder! http://www.twisterdata.com/index.php?prog=forecast&model=GFS&grid=3&model_yyyy=2022&model_mm=12&model_dd=12&model_init_hh=18&fhour=324&parameter=SNOWIN&level=SURFACE&unit=no...
