someone launch a balloon already,,,,sheeesh...

I see drier air moving into NTX now.....still some slight EPAC moisture along the front...temps holding at 34F here with plenty of cloud deck might not see the hard freeze as suggested.

Just curious. How many folks were surprised by todays event? nothing surprises me anymore.....after Ike at 20n plunges all the way to Cuba and into the GOM, with according to Ed has sreaming westerlies only to intensify to Cat 2 status because of a double eye wall , however hurricane winds had spre...

Kinda wonder with the temp dropping as fast as it is will the chill outrace the moisture and ice the roads? Also will the power lines ice over? With the stiff winds predicted for the area along with possible icy lines, I'm concerned about power outages. We work with many of the utility companies. T...

I was noticing last night and it appears to be the case today that the front is "meandering" in as it comes. That was showing up last night even in W. TX and the DFW area. Fropa is imminent here if Steve has it. Oops, calling fropa at 10:18 in Spring Branch. Temp just started dropping fro...

front paseed CInco Ranch and approaching Sugarland before DT Houston....funky orientation....but whatever its going to get cold....

I dont think there will be enough time for the bridges to ice over since we have been in the 50's for a few days....wind and evap should do the rest....JMO....

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....

probably the coldest night of the year, IMO....winds are light, CAA should do the trick...

nice work Jeff!! you need a raise....

NWS Houston should launch weather balloons like in Corpus Christi and Lake Charles. That is a 300 mile gap, in which the computer did not pick up the warm layer at 5,000 feet. 4th largest city in the nation and we dont even do balloons....that my friends is not right....but I guess they figure even...

goes to show what a few upper air soundings would do during events like this.....I saw snow, ice, sleet......sure I wanted 4inches of powder but we live in Houston not CO....I am good with it as should everyone else.... OK back to hibernation.....TS season coming up!! with Nuetral conditions its goi...
