Don is not that sickly looking, in my opinion.

That tropical storm is starting to have good cirrus cloud outflow on its west side on the visible satellite picture in motion.

The high pressure conveyer belt is going to speed up that healthy tropical waves' travel with it being predicted to make landfall somewhere here in Texas the day after tomorrow.

A few of those clusters of tropical thunderstorms have very cold cloud tops that look like they are in the in the -80ºF to -100ºF range.

The Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, and Carribean Sea have been, are, and continue to get primed for the development of tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes this year's hurricane season.

Hi everyone, I am vacationing in Stillwater, Oklahoma with my mother and youngest sister and the very hot heat has come this way. From what I understand from what I have heard it looks as though the hot to very hot temperatures will be traveling to Iowa, which is where we will be going and vacationi...

Needless to say, the threat of wildfires will keep increasing with each passing day with little to no rain.

I take it that the reason Southeast Texas did not receive any rain, or at least very little today, was due to arid air being siphoned into the region.

I am getting rain here in Baytown. Woohoo! Well, very briefly. Hey, what is the status of the wildfires here in Texas?

Did Texas have a Hurricane Bret back in the summer of 1998?

I wish everyone a blessed, safe, and exciting Independence Day.

What is the current status of all of the wildfires here in Texas?

Interesting that the season has started off with a W-Gulf threat.

Could that be a precursor for this year's hurricane season, HurricaneJosh?

There is one way to find out, srainhoutx. By waiting and watching. Correction, that is two things.

Some of those tropical thunderstorm's canopies look like they might be in the -100ºF to -110ºF range.

Hey, Tropical Storm Arlene, you are looking good for a tropical storm.

Okay, thank you, TexasBreeze and unome.

This may sound like a silly query, but are all of the wildfires that were burning in this state doused out via the recent rainfall?

Boy, all of that rain was a very welcome sight and alleviation. Have all of the wildfires been extinguished in Texas? I read that the wildfire nigh Katy has been. But, what of the wildfires north and northeast of Harris County? The temperature for today, so far, has not made it to the ninties, or th...

I dread to think of the number of wildfires that would be occurring here in Texas if we do not get any rainfall until September or October. Another thing about those wildfires is that they could easily spread into another state for example: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or New Mexico particularly i...

This drought is becoming more and more insane with each passing day. If the entire state of Texas does not receive any rainfall by next month, August, or September it could be curtains for more bushes and trees.
