It is working to moisten the low levels...give it a few hours.

Katdaddy wrote:Agree with Jeff. Upper level low still digging S of the Big Bend with strong moisture feed across coastal areas. Hou-Gal radar lighting up to the SW of Houston area.

Do you mind explaining to this very much so amateur what that means for us at the coast and our neighbors inland?

groves, tx city officials sent a phone recording out a few minutes ago saying for everyone in the city to stay off the roads cause there is a possibility of 1/4 inch of ice tonight...could that really be possible for this area?

Pearland had a leak in a fuel cell...launch has been delayed... ...whatever passed over us is gone now....holding at 33 surface with 23dew....I do have some houses on the street who have ice pellets I am guessing on the roofs....not much now though...

Keep an eye on your PM's folks...

Radar echoes are on the increase to our southwest in Ft. Bend County. Good sign that we'll see something tonight. I'm heading to bed soon, though. Hope you all see something tonight. I can wait until morning.

I still have light flurries here. No change in intensity or size, but they are still here.

All of us getting a PM, CC? Hope it's good news!!

Finally getting some action here in SW Travis County. Snow grains, albeit very light, are falling.

No. I'm PM'ing the ones who are reporting snow/ice or bad road conditions...cough...Jeff...cough.

rnmm: Lift with moisture should bring more precip to SE TX

yes, NWS mentioned the possibility of evaporative cooling once the precip starts falling (they said these could be 5-7 degree drops)

Thanks very much!

Thank you Katdaddy

Is anything hitting the ground from all the radar echos SW of Houston?

Look at the radar

I'm getting some lite freezing rain here in Richmond.
