We have power up here in The Woodlands but it has been flickering all afternoon long. [I feel very fortunate!]
We lost power for 5 min in CLL. I was freaking out, because I just picked up my main home office computer yesterday, after it was sidelined for a month because of damage due to power surges.

Everything is cool...for the moment.

That twister escalated rapidly.


Potential big front next Thursday pushing highs down into the 60s.

Something to watch is the disturbance coming in with the cold front next week.Global models have gotten a little more aggressive with it and are showing cyclogenisis taking place.Forming potentially our first Gulf Low of the season.And could be a heavy rain threat depending on parameters.

Seems like the GFS is really struggling with the cold air entering the US next week, never really understood why cold air seems to be something this model doesnt pick up well on

Basically every model drops the cold in the mid range. It’s not just the GFS that does that. Models have been doing that for as long as I can remember.

Canadian is bringing a couple of nights (Fri, Sat) that could see our first frost on the ground. No real freeze though as grass cools faster than the air.

Ending mowing and brown patch season. 8-)
