Re: JANUARY 2018 - Tracking Arctic Cold/Hard Freeze/Wind Chi
Interesting that this week, as with the last snow event, we had more snow detected south of the Houston area than in the Houston metro area. Good old southeast Texas weather!!

Re: December 2017: Christmas Cold / Ice Across Texas?
I would look for those temps to be much colder if an arctic HP of that size comes roaring down the lee side of the Rockies. Just this morning, I had 28 degrees at my house with ice over everything and that was with yesterday's frontal passage. It seems like just about every cold front this season h...

Re: December 2017: Pattern Change/Much Colder Weather Possib
Well, that was quite a surprise. We got about an inch and a half last night in northern Brazoria County. Enjoyed a 2-hour power outage, too. Oh, and on top of that, after getting back to bed after checking how widespread the outage was, the smoke detector decided it needed new batteries! :| Anyway, ...

Re: December 2017: Pattern Change/Much Colder Weather Possib
Wow! It's been a while since we had a storm like that!! Three power outages in the span of about 15 minutes. Things have moved out, and cooled down. 66 deg. F here in Brazoria Co. with a northwest wind at about 7 MPH. The pups are telling me it's wet outside, no way they're going out now!! :lol:

Re: Satellite Archive Database 1980 To 2009
That'll be cool to look at when I have some time. I've always wanted to see what the final track of Ike was. We evacuated to what was essentially a shelter (actually an empty store room with several hundred pets) for the storm, and then came home to no power for two weeks. So when power was back on,...

Re: October 2017 - Early Week Cold Front/Warm WX Returns
Oh, it's through the Pearland/Friendswood area, based on wind direction and pressure, but we're still waiting for that dry air. It's currently 75 deg-F and 82% humidity.

Yes, we've had several VERY close lightening strikes around our house in northern Brazoria County. 2.5" of rain in just about the last half hour alone.Rip76 wrote:This is a very intense storm in Pearland right now.

Re: July 2017 - Increasing Weekend Rain/Storm Chances
I was watching the radarange today, and biding my time so I could go mow the lawn before the rains hit. I watched as one storm heading our way kind of blew itself out, and the approaching storms looked like they had probably an hour to make it here. I got about 1/3 way through the back yard when it ...

Re: July 2017 - Isolated Rain/Storm Chances
And then there's that whole 30-day waiting period provision ;-) It's been a couple of decades, so I forgot that little 'feature'! IIRC, we got notification that we had to get the flood insurance in like late September or early October, in the peak of the season. By the time we got ready to make the...

Re: July 2017 - Isolated Rain/Storm Chances
Indeed. If you are 'thinking' about getting flood insurance, do so now. A little-known fact about flood insurance is that most insurance companies won't issue a policy if there's an active tropical cyclone in the GOM. That's even if it's just a tropical storm. We were 'surprised' by this when we fir...

Re: June 2017: TS Cindy/Tropical Storm Warning Issued
It does Rip76. Maybe the miniscule shift west from the models will be correct. Have a feeling the winds will be downgraded though with all that dry air filtering in as far as it is. We shall see... And it looks like there's still a fair amount of shear, at least on the southwestern half of the stor...
