Nah. Two more months of winter please. Then hopefully 3 months of spring before we get 9 months of summer.

VFR conditions will persist through the majority of the overnight
hours with mid/high level cloudiness prevailing. Low levels begin
moistening toward morning with an increasing southerly flow
aloft. Look for MVFR ceilings to develop a few hours after
sunrise. Chances of rain will be introduced to the TAFs during the
late part of the period in association with a developing coastal
trough in addition to a series of upper level disturbances passing
overhead. Precip chances will be higher after 31/18z. 47

A mixed bag of ceilings across the terminals at this hour. Would
anticipate them to fall into the 1000-2000ft range in the next
several hours as precip starts expanding across parts of the area
from the sw. Best coverage looks like it`ll be from the Houston
airports southward, but cannot rule out sct activity further
north. TAFs will, in general, advertise shra but there have been a
few embedded tsra noted sw of Matagorda. Precip will taper off
later this evening, but isolated activity (not mentioned in the
TAFs) is possible through the night. 47

Wet pattern lies ahead.

Good Bye January 2019. You have been a sweet winter month with your lowest temperature of 30F and a high of 76F up here in the Woods. No plants have been lost yet this winter.

Now on to February 2019...

Interesting tidbit:

In the last 30 years, it has rained 15 out of 30 times on this day.

It's been raining here in Stafford most of the afternoon and it's still raining. It is a light rain, a bit heavier now, but raining for quite some time.

.50” here in Wharton today. Definitely more than I expected.

.56" in W League City. The yard remains quite saturated.

Awesome. Another week of rain every day...
