Steady sleet falling in Humble

[TexasMetBlake]

Snow transitioned back to all rain and the ice/snow accumulation we had briefly is melting. Strange!

What kind of temps are forecast next weekend? I just see 60s for highs.

It may have to due with precipitation rates, maybe the heavier rate of rain was able to cool the column down temporarily.

Southern AND east...we missed out in Beaumont.

Latest balloon data from NWSLC shows above freezing still at 10,000 feet for our area which pretty much puts the nail in the coffin for us in Beaumont. We better get in on the next one.

There should be a decent gradient between Lake Charles and Southeast Texas. A lot less warm air advection in the mid/lower levels. The problem is I think we are just running out of time for precipitation.

Swing and a miss from BWY8 north loop and south looks like.

Looking at radar, I agree. If we get 1 flake it will be at the very end . Im not staying up either. Not worth it now. Lol. Maybe better luck next time.

Lucy pulls the football again for Houston....

My sister near Bedias just lost power.

I am not sure if this was really a bust for the Houston area. Most reliable models indicated the snow line would stay over the northern part of SE Texas and that held up pretty well. I think this was well forecasted by models, the NWS, and the media.

I dont understand how nws is telling me I have a 40% chance of snow after 3 am? Wouldn't the orecip be gone by then?

No not really most models mainly shown a sleet mix in the Houston area,which is verifying now.It was always a long shot of getting all snow in metro Houston.Which is why Harris county was never under a warning or advisory.

Here is what my drive looked like between Madisonville and Bedias along Hwy90! Very treacherous with many vehicles that left the road and into the ditches and creeks. I had to crawl along at 12mph with my hazards on and white knuckled it all the way to Shiro where conditions got better. It was a full on blizzard. No telling how much that stretch is going to end up with. This was at 3pm.

True...true...

Could not agree more, I mentioned this a few pages back. As much as we ar rushed to surprises down here, models and the NWS are good at what they do with the technology they have. The models and NWS nailed this
