Re: June - Rain This Week??

21z sounding from College Station this afternoon confirms previous thinking and confirms the ACARS soundings with a distinct warm layer just above 700mb remaining over the region, especially west of I-45. Even though moisture levels across the southern sections are higher then what is seen up at CLL...

Re: June - Rain This Week??

Quite a bit of rain east of here where PW's AOA 2'' currently reside. PW's across our part of the state look to be running in the 1.6-1.8'' range with things continuing to moisten up. The latest CIMSS PW product indicates a large slug of tropical moisture headed this way from the western gulf and wo...

Re: June - Back to Hot and Dry...

12z extended range models still show a glimmer of hope in about 7-8 days or around the middle of next week into next weekend as they continue to show a weakness developing across east Texas with much deeper tropical moisture (pws in the 1.75-2.00'' range) surging into the region from the Gulf. There...

Re: June- A New Hope? (probably not)

Scattered showers and thunderstorms now starting to break out across areas north of I-10 as temps have warmed into the upper 90's and low 100's. Will have to watch out for strong winds in the stronger storms this afternoon and evening. The latest mesoanalysis shows a nice tongue of deeper moisture a...

No problem! So far though have only received a report of 1'' hail 2 miles south of Huntsville. It looks like most of the larger hail likely fell in a sparsely populated section of Walker county.

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

^svrwx, Storms to the west appear to be re-intensifying as well. Do you think some of these storms could at least make it into Northern Harris county before the night is over? The storms out west look to be falling apart as they move away from the frontal boundary where the best low level convergen...

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

The first hail core has dropped with a second one developing aloft around 25,000 ft. 4.37'' hail possible! That is an impressive chunck of ice falling to and striking the ground, svrwx0503. Rectify me if I am wrong, but would that size be grapefruit or very close to it? Come on thunderstorms, coerc...

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

Large hail core dropping once again just south of Huntsville with a 78.5db return on the lowest tilt of the radar which up there is at about 7,000ft. Good bet that golf ball sized hail or larger might be falling about 4.5 miles south of Huntsville and 2 miles west of I-45. It looks like that storm i...

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

While the line as a while is breaking up, some cells are re-strengthening and becoming more discrete. Big hailer in southern Walker county! Yes indeed! Radar indicating 3'' hail just southwest of Huntsville. Nice 71.5db core up around 23,000 ft with a storm top over 50,000ft. Watch out around New W...

Radar indicating hail core descending to the ground with the severe thunderstorm just southwest of Hunstville. The storm has also been showing a little mid-level rotation over the past several minutes.

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

It looks like some activity is starting to fire up along a line of TC from just northeast of Austin across our northern counties. Radar starting to pick up some returns in Bastrop and Grimes counties. Be advised that some of these storms could go severe with large hail being the main threat this eve...

Re: May Weather Discussions. Drougnt Continues For Houston

700mb temps remain above 10C across much of the region (still enough of a cap aloft) and without any significant forcing along the front/dry line up to our north, unfortunately I would not expect much if any development this evening.

Re: May Weather Discussions. Increased Rain Chances?

Visible satellite shows some cumulus clouds across our northern counties trying there best to break through the cap with a developing cu field further north ahead of the front. Mesoanalysis shows some decent moisture convergence along the front so with a few more hours of heating, we will likely see...

Re: Possible Severe This Week. High Risk NE TX/LA/AR 4/26/11

Unfortunately it looks like Houston county will be under the gun again this evening as numerous tornadic supercells are going to be moving in from the northwest over the next 30min to 1-hr. Storms could get into our northwest counties in the next couple of hours if they hold together or can send out...

Re: Possible Severe This Week. High Risk NE TX/LA/AR 4/26/11

A strong cap remains in place across the southern sections of the region this evening and with the combination of losing daytime heating plus the majority of the energy passing to our north, I do not see a severe threat for the Houston area. It might have been a different story if the clouds had mix...
