Re: AUGUST 2018 - Weak Cool Front/Rain Chances Tuesday
Sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I grew up watching his weather reports. Here's a link to ABC's look back on him.

Re: AUGUST 2018 - Pattern Change/Wetter & Cooler WX Likely
I spent every summer near this location camping from the mid 60's to the early 70's. What an amazing site to see. Most of the sharp cliffs along the "normal" flow of the Nueces River are 200 to 300 feet! NWS Austin/San AntonioVerified account @NWSSanAntonio · 1h1 hour ago Here's a comp...

Re: July 2018: Weekend/Early Next Week Rain Chances
I can't stand these Texas summers and droughts any more. I'm done. Throwing in the towel. I'm moving to the Great State of Florida as soon as possible....which in reality will be about 3 years from now. But I have a plan and a goal :-) As Texas summers and droughts go, this summer has not been too ...

Re: July 2018 4th Of July Outlook/Wet Week Ahead
The Big Blob over Houston seems to be moving a little south of west as of 11:30am Wed. What are expected movements over the next 24-48 hours? On this path, San Antonio looks to be in bull's eye with Austin getting peripheral rains.

What's long range for January showing? Looking back at last two years we had one strong cold snap (both times around Jan 7th & 8th), then it warmed up quite a bit later in January.

These videos are stunning. Imagine if Irma hadn't scraped the coast Cuba (weakening it), and ended up a little more east with a Miami landfall?

Re: September 2017 -will summer continue or early Fall?
Cool front next week??? Hoping we can start talking about something else besides Harvey soon!
At least it appears no strong heat returning, which is good news for everyone in SE Texas as they try to recover.

RECON has been flying around the inner core of Harvey for the last 10-12 minutes sampling with that 16 mile wide eye. Lowest pressure extrapolated down to 981.5mb.

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo
What are thoughts on possible tornadic activity with Harvey?
Historically, when tropical storms run into stalled fronts, does this increase those chances?

Re: May 2017: Memorial Day/End Of May Outlook
Between 4-4:45pm, the area about 50 miles south of Junction, TX is getting copious amounts of rain with stationary storms. Looks like similar system of storms are forming along a line from just north of Uvalde to Waco. Could be a rough afternoon/evening Hill Country area if these storms don't move.

Re: Tracking the Tropics:
Interesting note from Phil Klotzbach, via Jeff Masters Wunderblog, "Never before has the Atlantic recorded two storms of at least Category 4 strength in October." For records going back to 1851.

Re: Tracking the Tropics: Hurricane Matthew
Hope people on east coast of FL are preparing like they will get hit with a major cane because it's way too close to call at this point. Even if no direct hit, it's going to be rough.
