Well after Harvey hit that winter we had snow....soooooooo...maybe after nick we will have...do I dare say it?

Ok Nicholas is back on the coast per 1pm update. Im sure another center reformation? Also chances of it going back out into the water. Its already RIGHT THERE.

Ha. I was just about to post about this. Fingers crossed for a winter treat now that Nicholas said hello.

Looks like you got a good hit down near Freeport last night, Kingwood. Hope the cleanup and recovery down there is quick for you all. Not much rain here in Katy, but lost power for a few hours overnight with wind gusts 40-50mph. Nice fall'ish day outside today. Ready to put the tropics to bed for us and look forward to fronts, football and playoff baseball (Astros).

No worries of restrengthening. Flooding threat continues for extreme southeast Texas (gradually shifting east) and Louisiana.

Overall Im pleased with the outcome here in the Golden Triangle. I got 6.18” so far and still misty. No flooding. Sporadic outages but no damage. Heard transformers popping this morning but all have stopped now. Hopefully those that got damage are ok and prayers for them. Now…on to fall… whens the next possible front??

Not that it means anything but the CoC looks to be moving do east on radar rather than NE like track shows. I know the structure is pretty much gone but if he moves back over open water, which is possible, this does mean that he once again might pull bands of rain onshore off the gulf twards extreme SETX and well into Louisiana . JMO.

Alright, enough of this tropical weather crap. It's mid September. I know that first good cool front is lurking around the corner. Where's it at srain? Not seeing a whole lot per GFS.

Yep, I remember snow the winters after a a storm.
Thank you everyone for the updates. You guys are my weather go-to for direct, no-nonsense information.

redneckweather your probably going to have to wait a good 7-10 days before we get any sort of “fall front” in here, models are hinting at a front in the day 9-10 window but that is far out

Finally! I have power! Been without I since 9 pm lastnight. Cut down 2 full tree's that fell..1 fell on my fence and the other missed my house by 6 ft..hell of a day! Glad it's over! Sorry but we are CLOSED for the rest of the season!

Lake Jackson here…I’ll say this, Nick was **MUCH** worse than we were expecting. Actually, we got almost 100% OPPOSITE of what we expected. We were prepared for up to 15”-20” of rain and not much of a wind event—-WRONG!! Oh, it rained, but nothing like expected. No standing water anywhere this morning. Maybe in overgrown ditches that just hadn’t had culverts cleaned out to allow drainage. Bastrop Bayou was out of its banks in several areas in Angleton this morning, but that’s nothing new. But the WINDS….HOLY MOTHER OF NATURE, y’all…THE WINDS!! Lake Jackson, “The City of Enchantment” is hundreds & hundreds & hundreds of trees less enchanting today. The downed trees, blocked roads (OURS!), the roofs with trees through them, fences smashed by trees…I’ve never seen anything like it before. I was here for Alicia, Rita, Ike, Allison, Harvey…and many other TS and hurricanes and while there was definitely (obvious) damage with all of them, the destruction, uprooted trees, and debris mess with Nicholas is just insane!! We’re nearing 24 hours without power now and CenterPoint has informed the Mayor that it’s looking like a 3 day restore event. Rain was blowing into my chimney and flooding my living room, blew through the sunroof of my husbands truck and absolutely soaked the entire interior, we were prisoners of two trees across our neighborhood streets until after noon today. Then, we got a call from the RV storage facility in Angleton, where we keep our RV (P.S. that we’ve only just made the FIRST payment on in August ), that they had sustained significant damage and needed all of the owners to come assess their RV’s. Y’all, the roofs of each covered spot was peeled back like a tuna can, poles/beams/tin was crushing many of the roof ac’s or had crushed the roofs of the RV’s….then, there sat ours…storage roof gone, ground support beam nearly uprooted and leaning…without a single scratch…ready for her next adventure! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
We don’t have any power and I don’t know how many days we can depend on this generator to keep 3 freezers and 2 refrigerators of groceries good, but that can all be replaced. I would like a good shower, a decent meal and some SLEEP!! And from this point forward, I’ll definitely plan for TWO categories above the prediction! Lol!

Good to hear. Just mist and coolish temps here. Am going to go water some of the back and drag the hose around.

It would’ve been much worse for everyone had this storm went further northwest instead of hugging the coastline. Pretty crazy track.

It could have been a real bad core event all day if it wasn't for shear and drier air degrading it through the day!

Honestly, with the SST setup, had it had favorable environmental conditions, it could’ve became a major. Also, the center reformation Sunday evening gave it at least 12 less hours over water.

More misty rain off and on with those tiny, iconic tropical droplets. Clouds are low and the radar is not picking up the rain. Amazing backside stuff. Nicholas had quite a few tricks up its sleeve, including that right turn on the coast once landfall was made.

lol, better turn off the hand sprinkler in the backyard!

We got many trees down. Street flooding and crazy winds but never lost power. Eye went over us around 3 am
7 inches in nassau bay. Kemah really took a hit

I needed that. After days of watching Nicholas, I was exhausted yesterday mentally. Took me a nap that lasted well into the night. Im guessing with it so quite in here many of you did the same. Lol. On to drier COOLER weather. ….unfortunately hurricane season is not over. Like Delta last year for Beaumont happened in early October. Have a great day everyone!
