Most of the action today will be north and east of us. Better chance in Beaumont though. Louisiana and Mississippi will get most of it. Big time tornado outbreak.

There is nothing out of the ordinary that will be coming down over the next month or so but we are all weather lovers so it's fun to look at.

The last two Februarys were colder than normal in CLL. One historically so.

I would take seasonal highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s, especially after topping out at 80 today.

That's perfect weather for me.

And if I wanted 70s and 80s in winter I’d move to the Rio Grande Valley or Florida.

I never complain about too cool or cold around here...


...because Summer 2022. The worst/hottest & driest I've seen in my 30 years in Texas.

Its shaping up to be a very scary day in terms of severe weather potential and a tornado outbreak possible, some areas in mississippi might get upgraded to a high risk of severe weather, that is extraordinarily rare, and a PDS tornado watch is coming, hope no one here has family and friends living in that area

Captainbarbossa19 is there attending Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS.

Seems like every year it is just 2 weeks away from real cold air in December then it becomes the new year all of a sudden without anything noteworthy. I sure hope for at least a cool Christmas and New Years and not 80 degrees. That would not be the right temp on Christmas day!

70’s are not uncommon in SE Texas in winter. 30’s (for highs) are.

I’m leaning more towards Hawaii as the perfect spot once the kids are done with school. I grew up in Florida, planned to relocate back there, travelled all over the Caribbean and Central America to explore other options, never felt 100% comfortable going ex-patriate like my best friend.

Then we discovered Hawaii. God saved the best for last. I’m totally in love. The weather is perfect. The little microclimates are amazing. And the scenery…OMG nothing like it except maybe Tahiti, Bora Bora, Bali or St Lucia. Yep, I could do 70-80 24/7 year round, no problem.

That and the forecast busted again, which is why he is asking. This is a change. I had a 70% chance of rain advertised on Today/Tuesday for days and then yanked again at the last minute.

I would love to visit hawaii, unfortunately the recent volcanic eruptions over their have pretty much crushed that thought, but I am glad that the bulk of the rain should stay to the east of us, its nice being able to see the sun again haha

Not sure why they had the percentages so high to begin with. There was nothing shown on the models that would warrant that, at least not from what I saw. I never expected much of anything for SE TX today.

Areas affected...southeast TX

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 291939Z - 292145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated thunderstorm or two may produce hail and gusty
winds across southeast TX this afternoon. A watch is not expected at
this time.

DISCUSSION...A couple of thunderstorms across southeast TX continue
to slowly intensify early this afternoon. The airmass across this
region is unseasonably moist with dewpoints in the 70s F. Steep
midlevel lapse rates and surface temperatures in the upper 70s F to
near 80 F are contributing to MLCAPE values around 2000-2500 J/kg.
Strong vertical shear is present, with effective shear magnitudes
greater than 45 kt evident in region VWP data and 19z mesoanalysis
data. Overall this would support organized updrafts capable of large
hail. However, both large-scale and mesoscale ascent will remain
weak across the region the next several hours, with little focus for
supercell development until later tonight when a cold front shifts
southeast. Nevertheless, a storm or two may develop within a strong
warm advection regime. Any storm that does develop is expected to
quickly shift east/northeast toward Tornado Watch 572. Given the
conditional and isolated threat, a watch is not expected at this
time.

Effects are isolated to the Big Island, and limited for now.

There is a tornado warning near Liberty, TX

Bingo. I remember bikini watching on Galveston beach during one Christmas Break back in high school. Obviously doesn't happen every year, but not super rare, either.

Wow, pretty far west for activity, though not far from where the 5% level starts.

The showers look to be ending around here already with drier air coming in from the west southwest. It is just beginning for areas to the east and northeast of here though.

My yard is still a bog. We can miss the next round or two

12z EPS is looking better for colder conditions in the extended range fwiw

Well today is fun. There is a tornadic supercell about 30 minutes west of me right now. I am monitoring closely the radar.
