I’m liking what I’m seeing in regards to precipitation in the long range. Our dry pattern may be coming to an end.

Doing a lot of yardwork this weekend and its brutal outside. Hot. Very humid. Zero wind.

Fall is my favorite season but it simply does not exist in Houston anymore.

Everything is looking on track for our first shot of highly modified Canadian air arriving Sunday night and off the Coast Monday morning. Just a slight chance for some showers/storms with the first front. A stronger front with a storm system tracking across the Northern/Central Plains could bring wintry precipitation across portions of Nebraska and the Dakota's. This secondary push of 'colder air' looks to arrive Thursday night.

Yeah, the models are pretty consistent.

TWC forecast - WTF. Stalled front and rain early this week. 2nd front a joke...the only model that even suggests that is the Euro. Canadian is bought in, Ensemble too. GFS as well..

NOAA looks sensible. 40% chance of rain Sunday night. Not much after that. Highs around 80°F, the a late week warm up before next weekend's stronger front.

If anyone gripes about the cold this year, they need to be smacked upside the head. It's been summer since March.

Hmm, I seem to remember a fairly cool March AND April. Wet, too. The pups didn't dry out until about July!!

I'm ready for Fall - but the winter cold gets old after New Year's - at least for me anyway. I'd be perfectly happy with lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's until March.

Enjoy this last day of early October heat and humidity. Changes are brewing and the coming week will bring significant changes to our temperatures. While the models have not settled on a timing solution for the stronger shot of 'colder air' arriving Friday, each run of the computer schemes do suggest a vigorous Fall Storm System will track out of Canada into the Intermountain West and Central Plains. Denver and other locations along the Front Range as well as Western Kansas and points N an E could see snow Wednesday night into Thursday. We may see a line of showers/storms associated with the end of the week cold front and you may just need a jacket for any Friday Night Football or other activities.

We will also need to monitor a potential Super Typhoon making a run toward Japan later next weekend. The strong cyclone could make some significant impacts as it becomes Extra Tropical and ends up in the Bering Sea in about 10 days or so. We often see changes in the jet stream and big troughs developing that may have implications to our sensible weather as October moves along. So long to that big Smokey Mountain Heat Ridge!

Unless it snows then I’m all for the cold. Other than that I’m right there with you.

This first cold front of the week will move across SE TX today with lows in the 50s inland and mid to upper 60s along the coastal counties Tuesday morning. The second front arrives Friday resulting in a beautiful weekend with lows in the 40s and 50s and highs in the 70s.

Fronts knocking on our back door! Anyone feel it yet? Patiently waiting in Bmt. Had anyone noticed that fronts these last couple of years never have a line of storms with them anymore in our region? They all come through dry now. Not that I need anymore rain in Beaumont, but just an observation.

Yeah it came through here earlier this am. It’s overcast now with a nice northerly breeze. Glad the fall temps are finally here.

Re: lack of rain with fronts - believe me, I’ve noticed too. I could actually use some rain at this point. Watered the shrubs last night and will probably have to run the sprinklers this week.

The low pressures that follow these fronts are typically too far north of us to give us anything.

Had anyone noticed that fronts these last couple of years never have a line of storms with them anymore in our region? They all come through dry now. Not that I need anymore rain in Beaumont, but just an observation.
Yeah it came through here earlier this am. It’s overcast now with a nice northerly breeze. Glad the fall temps are finally here.

Re: lack of rain with fronts - believe me, I’ve noticed too. I could actually use some rain at this point. Watered the shrubs last night and will probably have to run the sprinklers this week.
The low pressures that follow these fronts are typically too far north of us to give us anything.
They didn't use to be though. I remember when I was younger a front usually came in with some pretty angry weather before the drier air filtered in.

Exactly! They use to be a solid red line of storms.
I noticed that the last two years.
