Well the storms did make it farther south than I expected. It is amazing though how it split in two right over my house. O well I look forward to tomorrow as the cold front will be a lotttt closer meaning a much better chance.

Thank you for those "what different hues of lightning signify" wxdata.wxdata wrote:rnmm wrote:sleetstorm wrote:By the way, in case any of you have not noticed, some of that lightning has a orange or copper hue to it.
What does that mean? That is interesting I don't remember seeing lightning like that before.

It was rather educational.There's a lot of differing opinions and debate on the different colors. Either way, it's all kind of fun...sleetstorm wrote:

I wonder if the air stabilized from the earlier storm, which caused the the current storm to weaken.

Doubt it especially for the area of the storm that had the most drop in intensity. Through the day the NW side of Houston through Harris County did not see any rain at all. The one that was to the south could of had some impact but like someone else said I think the outflows were what created and destroyed the storms.Ptarmigan wrote:I wonder if the air stabilized from the earlier storm, which caused the the current storm to weaken.

These small mesoscale things can drive forecasters crazy! It may have been the stabilization from the earlier storms, or the 'heat island' affect, or something completely different!Ptarmigan wrote:I wonder if the air stabilized from the earlier storm, which caused the the current storm to weaken.
The reason is not science at all.
It is because, once again I stayed up late to see the storms come in.
If I were asleep right now, this would not be the case.

Well, a few had some 'fun' today and tonight. Areas inside the loop were mostly untouched.Rip76 wrote:The reason is not science at all.

I notice storms tend to break up over urban areas. I think the heat island effect plays a role.wxdata wrote: These small mesoscale things can drive forecasters crazy! It may have been the stabilization from the earlier storms, or the 'heat island' affect, or something completely different!
There's been a lot of debate about that (especially here in Houston among meteorologists.) I know of no definitive study that has truly answered that question (about Houston...)Ptarmigan wrote:

Interesting how that line has kind of filled back in with light rain from the storms north and south of the city...
0z NAM again shows no cap for tomorrow and if the storms can get going, some could again become strong/severe..
Need to keep an eye on the storms west of here moving east/southeast. Tornado warning for DeWitt County (Cuero) until midnight.
They may not affect Harris, but points southwest could be under the gun again..

Looks like a flare up in Western Brazoria county at the moment .... also those storms out west that had the Tornado Warning on it weakened a bit but is still heading towards Jackson, Matagorda and Brazoria counties eventually .....
