I suppose it'll get me ready for my trip to Bergen, Norway on Saturday. Highs there have averaged between 40-48 degrees of late, with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Strong wind and light rain with that cold. Can't wait - NOT!

It's headed that way, trust me. It's a chilly, damp and gloomy 53F up here in NW Harris County.

So ready for warm weather. I can't believe how cold this spring has been. If I wanted this dreary crud I would have moved to some Yankee state.

Is there hope for a real Texas summer?

I LOVE IT. COLD. BRING IT ON!!! (I work outside) Don't worry, summer time is coming. Neat day today. I am a forecaddie at Carlton Woods Country Club. The guys hit their tee shots on the 5th hole, and it was warm, muggy, and I was sweating like crazy. By the time they got in their carts and drove out to the fairway, the wind had doubled, and I was freezing.

A nice surprise that an additional upper air disturbance along the main trough axis to our W is producing elevated storms and rainfall. It''s making for a noisy and chilly early Thursday morning across SE Texas/Louisiana and will make for a messy commute this morning. Funny how the cap held prior to the front and now we are getting those heavier and noisy storms in the cold air. That is what make weather so unpredictable at times and why we follow it with great interest.. Stay safe during that morning drive to work.

The guidance is still insisting that this frontal boundary will return N as a warm front over the weekend as yet another upper air disturbance crosses Texas late Saturday into Sunday bringing additional showers and storms. The models are also very instant that another strong push of Canadian air will head S late next week as a trough deepens across the W and chilly air returns once again for the weekend of the 20th.

NWS Houston/Galveston issues Flood Advisory for Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris and Liberty Counties. For our neighbors in Beaumont/Port Arthur, you folks also have a Flood Advisory where some locations have seen up to 5 inches of rain overnight and still falling.
