By the way, SPC has also included the HOU metro area (along with SETX/E TX/Most of Louisiana) in the "slight" risk for severe weather again on Friday.....

GFS getting close to showing an "Ana Front" winter storm setup fwiw.

Don, if you could, please show us how you are able to load images.

Of course, I use https://imgbb.com to upload the pic. Then copy the image URL address, then click the insert image button when making a post, and paste the image URL in between the "[img]".

Pardon my ignorance but what is a "ana front"?

ERCOT is closely monitoring the weather conditions moving across Texas this week. Grid conditions are expected to be normal, and ERCOT expects to have sufficient supply to meet demand. Any outages are local in nature. Please contact your local electric provider for information if you are experiencing an outage: http://bit.ly/3TQXHSA.

An ana front is a frontal boundary in which the main shield of clouds and precipitation is located behind the actual frontal boundary.
This is because cold air located behind the front moves rapidly, pushing against the warm air out ahead of the front. Because cold air is more dense than warm air, the surging cold air causes the warm air to lift upward along the front. Therefore, clouds and precipitation that form end up inclined rearward with height due to the advancing cold air at the surface.

Areas around Navasota and then NE of there have been pounded today.

We have a local met who is now saying the dynamics of todays threat are now more towards Louisiana than Setx now. If that is true, nothing really happened. Is this true?

[djmike]

Also, why has no one issued a tornado watch for today with the threat of tornados?

Everything so far today is opening act stuff. I would expect things to start cranking this afternoon if anything is gonna get going ahead of the squall line.

I’m by no means a professional meteorologist, but this afternoon/evening has me concerned.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

This is what happens when your abysmal handling of the icemageddon 3yrs ago remains front and center

This is why I never really worry about severe thunderstorms where I live. It’s almost always north of me, especially NE of me.

I’ve stated it on here many times, but the average individual who wants to be told by social media what to think doesn’t understand what the true cause was in 2021 because social media buries the simple answer.


I’m not worried about the grid, not one iota, because I know why it happened and what has happened since then regarding the offline Nat Gas substations in 2021.

If you want cheap electricity and a fortified grid, don’t vote for people pushing the Green Feudalism BS on a local, state or federal level.

The average human in first world countries really doesn’t understand scale anymore, especially utility scale. I have more off grid, environmentally friendly contraptions at the farm that help us survive no matter what. It’s great. I’m a survivalist and use your earthly resources guy at heart. With that said, You can’t take that idea and scale it to a municipality or large city without severe arbitrage. I won’t even get into supply chains and National Security around the grid.

If the grid explanation sounds too simple from either political divide, then it’s most likely there to divide and not educate.
