We have a parade that night and need to play it by ear, need to finish the float in the afternoon, and get the kids on board. parade starts at 7. wondering exactly how much rain we will face and if it will be cold for...

Re: NOVEMBER: Tracking An Arctic Cold Front
There is no point to miserably uncomfortable cold, bare trees, brown lawns, and short days unless it snows, and people who like being uncomfortable, there is always Minnesota. JMHO. I'll accept cold for a day or two for snow/ice... That's how I feel Ed! I just always want precipitation, any kind is...

Re: Regional Disco - March - Spring Storm 9th-11th?
Thanks srain. It seems like every GFS run over the past several days has shown a different scenario for our next system this weekend. Hopefully the recon data helps the models to paint a wetter picture across Texas!

Re: Internship available?
Howdy! I am currently a fourth year meteorology major at Texas A&M University and I hope to get an internship in Houston this summer. I am interested in making forecasts and writing weather discussions for private companies or the NWS. I have a good analytical background from school as well as a...

Re: Tropical Storm Ernesto: Nearing The Central Caribbean
Well the 0z GFS was depressing. Barely makes it back into the BOC before landfalling probably as a weak Tropical Storm near Veracruz. I'm starting to think we won't get a drop of rain from Ernesto.

Re: Tropical Storm Ernesto: Nearing The Central Caribbean
Globals, especially GFS and Euro, have been handling the very slow pace of strengthening well. I suspect 18Z GFS forecast may be close to what happens. I agree. I don't think the 00z models are going to shift farther south though. I am thinking they will follow close to the eventual landfall of the...

Re: March 2012- In Like a Lamb?
I really hope this dry trend doesn't keep up. GFS was insistent in developing a significant rain maker between the 8th and 10th, but the past two runs have backed off on that as well. Anyone have any positive information? :roll: The GFS has been having some difficulty lately dealing with all of the...

Re: February: Quiet WX Pattern Return This Week. Warm Days A
What an absolutely gorgeous day out, and these type of days have been extremely few and far between since January. I hope everyone can get out and enjoy the sunshine and be thankful that those forecasts of a 'hot and dry winter' have failed miserably and that we have made a remarkable recovery in o...

Re: February: Slight Risk Severe Storms Wednesday 2/15
Srain, when it says the times in there, does that mean the additional data that they collected goes into the model at that time, or is it the next major run? Like if it says 16 drops at 0z, then is that data in the 0z model or the 12z?

Re: January:Tracking A Storm Threat 1/23-25/Severe Wx Possib
0z GFS is crap! 12z run showed 1-2 inches of rain for SA and Austin next Wednesday and now the 0z shows less than .25 inch. Now that pisses me off! I was really looking forward to a good soaking beneficial rainfall event next week. Grrrrrrr.

Re: January:Tracking A Storm Threat 1/23-25/Severe Wx Possib
I don't know about you guys, but I find the 12z models really depressing. The 0z CMC, Euro and GFS all agreed on around an inch of rain for SA and Austin on next Tuesday and now the 12zs show pretty much nothing. Man I am really depressed now. So much for starting 2012 rainfall on a good note. Sigh.

When will our drought end?
I know it is almost impossible to predict this far out, but if I had to make a prediction on this I would say by January 2013 our drought will be pretty much over. I don't think there will be much improvement at all this winter with another La Nina event expected. Anyone else wanna take a stab at th...

Wxman, why do you always have to bring us bad news?wxman57 wrote:12Z GFS says no rain for the next week, at least.
Also, I couldn't find the long range Nino forecast map that showed El Nino possibly returning in 2013. How do I find it from that link that you posted on here a few days ago?

Re: September Weather Discussion
Where did you find that map wxman? It isn't on the CPC site that I look at.
So I'm hopeful that El Nino will return the winter of 2012-2013 and it will be a wet winter then! Better than nothing.
