June starts in a couple days. Anyone want to take a shot towards how summer will be? I am thinking the ridge stays nearby enough to deflect any tropical activity away, but that is all about timing and strength at that time. Hopefully a more active seabreeze than in recent years too. I will take that.

Same clouds are so close to my place too!

Looks like a wrap for today and also starting next week a heat ridge sets up shop over the area. Summer pattern is awaiting!

Some of the outages are Xfinity related around the Hou area seen on Abc13

Already a flood watch issued for the Corpus Christi area for this event!

Looks like IAH Houston hit 90 today for the first 90 degree day! Humidity is in the mid teens percent though so very dry.

Extreme cold/ windchill warning issued for Harris county. Some icecicles around my place and been below freezing all day!

There's some light drizzle mixed in with this cold and wind so yeah it is miserable out!

Someone seems a tad bit grumpy today. Maybe the sun needs to come out for awhile outside!

Yup it is sleeting in Spring

Yes they are. They are lowering and darkening fairly quick...

Harris county

It is a global, but the gfs increased the totals county-wide slightly it looks like.

How about a pot of gumbo to get things going? I am hoping to see at least an inch and a good shot of it too. It isnt 7 + like previously modeled, but it is what it is here in Spring. It could be all cold rain like last time.

Yeah I like that map too! Seems like the past 2 coastal lows overperformed rain wise so it should be interesting to see the heavy bands.

Updated HGX map

I wouldnt worry too much. This is a mesoscale model time frame now and also now casting as tomorrow comes around. I just posted that as an FYI for my area of Spring.

The 18 gfs has a fairly sharp cutoff northern Harris to the north with only about an inch or so in Northern Harris.

January 18th and this forum is 91 pages! Going good and strong so far! Keep up the good work posting about this upcoming event!

The 12z gfs doesn't look bad for your Austin area and Houston either. There is still a great shot up there.
