a solid 1.5" in the gauge right now here in Kingwood, and still it continues to rain pretty steadily!

A certain tv weather personality just said that he didn't think those storms we are seeing entering liberty county right now would make it here - they only look to be increasing in intensity to me, surely with all the heating and sunshine we have had today we would have a pretty good chance, right?

quick half an inch here in kingwood

At this point, can it be pretty certainly ruled out of a more northerly track bringing it closer to us here in SE TX? I know a lot of discussions have indicated the TX/MX border as its most northerly potential track.

Just saw this article about a heat burst in kansas - where around midnight, the temperature suddenly spiked 20 degrees in a span of 20 minutes - very interesting read!

Where in Kingwood are you CAK? I went to the store on Kingwood Dr and it was pouring, when I got back home .5 miles away it was bone dry!

looking at the source region....nothing really eye popping...granted with all the snow pack the air will not modify as much but I dont think we will be as cold as this last week.....Personally I think we are done this year for extreme cold here in SE TX... time for Tropical weather.... :D Bring it ...

In Kingwood - been drizzling for about an hour, just now starting to hear sleet takka takkin on metal surfaces

I'm in Kingwood, currently a VERY light drizzle, still liquid on my outdoor table, and temperature reading 29...how does this make sense?

Jeff, what time are you thinking for the onset now, particularly Kingwood area?

I'm a math and science teacher in Kingwood - hoping me and my students get a nice snow fun day friday. *Fingers crossed*

No front or high- cap returns by the end of the week squashing rain chances.

Is that cap going to be sticking around again this time? Jeez I really hope not, I missed out on my summer thunderstorms last year, would sure hate to have a repeat of it this year!

thanks Dan and Srain - what time are we looking at for that next round heading south?

Is the Kingwood area going to miss out on this round or is that still a possibility?

any chance of this thing fizzling out before it reaches the Kingwood area?

So this cap that is finally gone, is this temporary, or will it be coming back soon? I know it was with us for a long time, what actually made it go away finally?
