March 2025
Last perfect day for awhile. Warm/hot and boring for the next week beginning tomorrow.
Today is pretty nice. 
Welp, looks like I'm breaking out the windshield shade screen starting today......
79°F but 44°DP so I'll allow it. A bit of a southerly breeze. High clouds but mostly sunny The A/C could cut on though.
It costs a lot less to heat the house than cool it.
Yesterday was 76° Hi, 37°F low. Crystal blue skies. Not a cloud. No A/C or heat running. A few windows open. Perfection.
Not panicked yet, but beginning to worry about a drought. Warm, sunny. No rain is in the foreseeable forecast. I hate running the College Station water this early in the season, especially with all the sodium and Ca - carbonate in it. It's poison.
Well, every major model shows storm system after storm system miss SE Tx entirely. Either the tail end of convection stops around Huntsville, or it gets ramped up as soon as it nears the Tx/La border.
The only prayer any of the major models give us is around the 3/24-3/25 timeframe.
I'm starting to worry, as well.
Looks like we're going to have a major windstorm up here on Friday, winds may gust up to hurricane strength.The storms pressure will be dropping down to around 975mb.

We received 1-2 inches of rain here on Saturday, so that should help at least a little with the wildfire threat Friday. The next big rain maker/ severe wx here may be around the 25th of the month if some of the long range guidance is correct.Hopefully more widely distributed rains will come for the state when the rainy season starts in April. At least for SE Texas if the Spring doesn't pan out you still have the possibility of a wet Summer if the seabreeze and SE return flow is active.
The background state looks to become more neutral this Summer so that may help also.With maybe an transition to El Nino being possible by next Fall/Winter.

As Gomer Pyle put it: "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!"
A line of showers on the way. It just might hold together. I'm not expecting a lot of rain, but beggars can't be choosers.

Heyooo
Sooo.. is that gonna make it down here? That’s a surprise.. HRRR has it dying, sliding to the NE before it hits Harris County.
I-10 and north has a chance.
0.43 inches in CLL. Survive and advance.

I think that’s going to hang down a bit further than forecast.
And it's already going "poof".
