Re: February Weather. Severe Threat/Arctic Blast/Then Snow?

If the forecast pans out, Galveston could see its first February snowfall since 1973.

Nearly 100 people on the board! Wooohoo! Fun times!

Re: Ike - what were you doing to prepare on Sept 12th 2008?

Ticka, I didn't know about your dad, I'm sorry. I can't imaging what you went through. I was up early that morning. My elderly dad had been evaced to Houston from Galveston, then on to San Antonio when the power went down. I live in Galveston too, so I was busy putting things out of the reach of a p...

Re: 90L Gulf of Mexico

TD 10 will drag a good deal of moisture across Texas in the next couple of days, so our lawns won't be quite as crispy.
Noticed in the forecast discussion there was some uncertainty in when the left turn would happen. Kinda wonder if this might be a rewind of Humberto in 2007?

Re: wxdata Dan Meador 1951-2010

So sad to hear about Dan's passing. His enthusiasm for weather and willingness to share his knowledge of it shined through in his every weathercast and every post on this forrum. Whether we gleefully waited for a "snow miracle" or anxiously hung on every model run of a threatening Gulf sto...

Re: Invest 92L Central Caribbean

I am more concerned with 92L than Colin. I agree. I was being very negative earlier on my post. Its time to watch and wait or is it wait and watch. "Watch and wait" usually works for me. While we're watching and waiting, we could all have some Homemade Vanilla ice cream and chill. :D Anyw...

Re: Hurricane Alex. 195 Miles ESE of La Pesca. 75 MPH/973 M

Well, with my exit from this forum, I must say that this has been one of the most difficult storms to predict. The models were all over the place for days, as were conditions that would manipulate him. In the end, we have come full circle to the first suggested landing. Alex had many opportunities ...

Alex isn't reading the models. Sounds like a "bears watch" to me.

Another coffee drinking night. ;)

Re: TS Alex. 100 Miles WSW of Campeche. 45 MPH/991 MB

This has to be one of the most irritating and confusing storms to follow. No one has been able to get a lock on it's intentions. Still tonight, most any solution is possible, excepting the N.E Gulf. Even more so for emergency managers up and down the coast. When you think that for example, the Beau...

Espcially since the SST in the area are in the mid 80's Alex may be getting his Wheaties on.

Re: TD Alex. 55 Miles SSW of Campeche. 35 MPH/999 MB

I still say a range of tall mountains decoupling the low level circulation from the mid-level circulation happens. Remember 1994, and East Pac Hurricane Rosa. The surface low didn't cross the mountains, the mid level low and tropical moisture slug did, and moved over a shallow cold layer of air ove...

Re: TS Alex. 200 Miles E of Belize City

Alex is looking pretty healthy for a minimal TS, and large to boot.

I'm in agreement with biggerbyte that Alex shouldn't be taken for granted.
