Flurries really picking up in intensity here in Atascocita

[HouTXmetro]

Heavy Convection is way up near Dallas area, has the dry air taken a toll on our chances...looks like we will see something but I was expecting more impressive convection like we are seeing well to our north somewhere near our vicinity. It just isn't happening .......(yet?)

yes also here in cypress should i got to bed for about 3 hours then wake up and see what is happening because nothing is happening right now...

Bostwick on KFDM says Beaumont and the Golden Triangle should start to see the real action between 3am-9am!
Oh and Clute....you are too funny! Enjoy that ice cream!

[Andrew]

The dry air is really being filtered out as the storms north are back building. I have a feeling tomm morning we could have some good back building.

Ice on road factor in fatal accident

February 03, 2011 10:00 PM

Icy conditions were a factor in a fatal accident Thursday night in Port Arthur.

The accident happened about 8pm at Twin City Highway and Highway 136.

Investigators say several vehicles collided due to ice on the road.

A 43-year-old woman from Bridge City died in the wreck.

The victim's name has not yet been released.

Nothing has changed, folks. The action is well west, north, and east of S. E. Texas. The precip. is so light in our area that I'm not seeing it on any of the various radars. Oh well! It's nice that some of you are seeing a sprit or two. I suppose something is better than nothing.

Wxman57 going to bed, and not staying on the job, should be a clue as to what the night has in store. I'm not going to stay awake either waiting for that stray snowflake to hit me on the head. Lol

Have fun...

[helloitsb]

any ideas on waking up in 2 hours? When I go to sleep I'm sleeping for the next 7 hours

[matthouston]

Is the dark blue stuff the "good stuff"

We're going to have a hell of an icing event in Missouri City at this rate. Everything is covered in water/ice outside, even the roads (water, not ice). It's full-on raining now, not drizzling. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE AT LEAST SLEET?

[helloitsb]

Can you translate that into "I'm a weather idiot", please?

[TxLady]

Light Freezing drizzle, here. Cars are completely glazed over with a thin sheet of ice.

Jeff do you think the stuff north will start building south and how long do you think this event will last?
