came through with a fury here.....got my car in the garage just in time

southern end of the line is already into the Gulf

heavy rain and wind now in central fort bend

agree with Mr. T -- more unstable air mass over deep south Texas....thus SPC placing slight risk over that area where thunderstoms didn't work over the atmosphere

slight weakening as the leading edge slowly propogates SE'ward....we'll have to see if it can hold together. Maybe I was being too optimistic

as impressive an MCS as I can remember down here in quite a while

latest RUC mesoanalysis indicates over 2000 J/KG mixed layer CAPE with virtually no capping in place. MCS strengthened after crossing the I-35 corrider as it interacted with the seabreeze. See no reason to believe this things weakens as mature cold pool interacts with moist (PW >1.8 inches) relative...

heavy rain and wind now in my neck of the woods

No rain in richmond as of yet, but the lightning continues to be impressive

btw.....anyone checked out the new SPC mesoscale analysis page? Pretty sweet

I'm a recent grad from A&M and am working in the field. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a pm and I'll be happy to answer.

weather today in southeast Texas today is outstanding.....fair skies and mid 60's. Too bad I'm inside watching USA- Canada

Will be interesting to see how much of the white stuff falls across the metroplex. 4km WRF keep the bulk of the precip south of I-20....although the NAM shows a heavier band of snow just to the north and west of DFW.

the new NAM is slightly cooler.....going to get real tricky around the lukin area. forecast soundings are right on the rain/snow threshold for them.

I was looking at the nyc metro area and they are getting pounded right now.....coastal low bombing off the coast. What exactly is a trowal wxman57? Warm air wrapping into the low? I've heard this term a lot lately......

forecast soundings and progged thickness values per the 00z gfs continue to indicate just a cold rain for houston metro

here.....guess I"ll start posting more than I have in the past. Really enjoy the discussions
