Well next summer is almost guaranteed to be better than this summer. This summer is very much like 2000. 2001 was much cooler and wetter. I think another problem for Texas often is that the Gulf of Mexico is so DEAD!!! I'll go ahead and say that it is actually logically inconsistent for Texas to be...

User Null Some of the models that do keep this weak and unorganized move it this way, but the moisture just goes POOF right on our coastline, models show very little in the way of rain even it it comes this way, just another depressing forecast lol I was referring to the part where you mentioned it...

The disturbance looks like its already about to move in, we are staying high and dry…… Good, let it get lost and get on already as far east as possible. Lack of organization will make it easier for something to stream our way. Musch better than blowing up to a big storm, then making the hard right ...

I wouldn’t. Four main reasons: 1) The RGV is still at risk of the occasional deep hard freeze; moreso than Zone 10 on the Florida peninsula. 2) No comparison on the beaches. The Florida gulf beaches are some of the prettiest in the world. I stay in the water all day. I won’t get in the water in Tex...

In the past week, the trees are noticeably more stressed. The leaves are starting to brown-up now and the pine trees are starting to drop piles of pine needles. It’s like watching a slow-motion death. I hate droughts and this is turning into a bad one. Not a good update to hear. In/around Fulshear,...

The 12GFS came out better than I thought it would, with decent totals across the state. Looks like residual weaknesses left behind after this weekend/early next week.

00z NAM models coming in much further west with the gulf disturbance Edit most of the 00z Mesoscale models are further west compared to the global models I'm rooting for the CMC compared to the other globals regarding this thing, as it has been the most consistent in penetrating the stuff west into...

I know you said that the dryness in your area was getting bad. But I'd almost say that the scene in that photo, with trees combined with thunderheads, looks perfectly lush (though the silhouette view probably conceals any desiccation).

Great pictures, overall

Meh, whatever.

Also, there's a strange curse happening, consistent with what Jasons2k is describing. Look at the cell lines along the incoming boundary — notice how the gap (so far) is present specifically in the Houston viewing area, with coverage to the east in Louisiana, and then farther west in South/Central T...

There's something weird with the HGX radar. Nothing was showing up at first, just blue/green blobs — then suddenly, the full storm cell models (complete with the yellows/reds and such) magically appeared.

I have to admit it, but Jasons2k is right. I'm honestly starting to hate the weather in this state.

According to the S2K thread, even parts of Florida have been bone dry — specifically, areas of Boca Raton in SE FL have not seen rain since early June, and posters there have been complaining about brown, crispy lawns as well. Something is breaking down...

Wow MyRadar from the posts above looks good.

For desktop, I think Windy is nice as well.

Exactly and ridges may sit in one area, but they usually are there for only 2-3 weeks at a time. The problem for us has been that when the ridge moves, it has not been getting far enough away. However, all it takes is for one storm to move towards us when the ridge is not overhead, and we will have...

Yes, Central Houston getting a huge soaking right now.

Cpv17 too far out to speculate ridging in Texas, I bet we get at 1-2 really close calls, similar to Laura and Delta back in 2020 Yeah but the ridging has been here consistently for the past few months now. I really don’t know what it would take to change that given the background state. I know it c...

Just want to freeze frame that 06z run, it's perfect. Decent amounts even in RGV too!

Of course, whether or not it materializes is another story. I guess just as long as the pattern change is agreed upon.

Must it ALWAYS be Louisiana? Really sickening ...

Still overall better trends, nonetheless.

True.
