Worrisome to see the rain shield to our W beginning to move a bit E throughout the early morning hours. Flash Flood Watches are still in affect roughly W of I-45. Tornado Watch is in affect as wellfor or S and Western Counties. Could be a rough day locally.

Looks like the forecast for this weekend is rain and cooler temps!

Had light fog this morning on the east side of town - another sign that the seasons are changing! YEA!

Yesterday, I noticed that the 12z gfs had depicted our first significant cold front moving into Houston by the end of the month (about 10 days from now). At 268 hours, it should a strong front moving in with associated squall line. Behind the front, heights collapse as a very cool airmass (1032 mb High) drops in with the 0c line pushing into Kansas. 2-m temps are shown to be in the 40s for most of Houston (north of I-10 especially) with 50s to the coast. Today, the models have backed off that a bit, but will need to watch for developing trends. The thought of a cold front and ending this horrible, dreadful summer brings a smile to my face! :mrgreen:

Been holding together quite nicely for about 4 or 5 runs now. Pretty impressive for our first one.
It will probably will end up being a nice hot humid day knowing the GFS 2 weeks out. But what if?

I personally doubt it will happen. Usually it takes a couple of gfs "cold fronts" before we actually get one. I think we could see a front that is a probable, but to get into the 50's and 40's eh I am not holding my breath. Especially for Houston.

Well getting into the 40s by the end of September is not unheard of though it is unlikely. I think the earliest 40s at IAH was Sept. 22 (Is that right, Mr. T? LOL). While this does seem a bit strong for being so early, it does have some model consistency. Let's just watch and wait.

Haha yea Mr. T? We need you back... Yea I hope. I have just been burned in the past from getting excited for a possible strong trough with no results.

GFS lost it for the 18z. Maybe it will come back from the dead here in a couple runs.
Typical GFS would put it about 2 or 3 days later.

Just north of austin right now and have received a lot of rain. I would guess 2-3 inch in a short period of time with a lot of flooded roads.

Seems as though the models have backed off the strength of the high/front coming in. The 18z this afternoon indicates a much weaker front around the same time period. It is rare to go through the entire month of September without a front. Not saying it can't happen, but I still suspect some kind of front will make it here around the 29th.

I've gotten a few pretty decent downpours already today here in First Colony ..... The yard is appreciating that.

Don't know about any of you .... but I think Mario's forcast for Sunday is gonna be a bust ..... looking at radar trends and satellite ... I'm thinking Mostly Sunny is not gonna happen especially in the SW portion of the CWA ...... Mostly Cloudy with scattered showers looks like a better bet.
