As we are in a frigid part of January, we look forward to warmer days. What will March bring? Rain? Heat?

Freezes have happened in March. Think 1900, 1932, 1943, 1980, 1989, 1993, 1996, and 2002.

Severe season. We're due.

Either that or more drought.

Early Spring Break usually features a freeze in the Brazos Valley. Then a quick warmup and severe weather.

We've had a freeze and tornado in the same year in mid March...I'm trying to recall the year.

Looks like the weather could get more interesting to start off March.

There's more rain in late June in HOU than CLL. Of it depends what part of town. There's a substantial difference across the metro area as you all know. Our spigot turns off sometime in June.

Baytown: 49 in/year.

League City: 59 in/year

Rosenberg: 41 in/year

It’s looking likely that we’ll get some rain towards the end of next week, but the heavier totals should stay up in NTX and into OK, AR, and MO. Won’t be a drought buster for our part of the state, at least not yet. Of course better chances N of I-10. Nothing new there. Still have a week to watch it, so I’m hoping for southerly trends.

I’m getting excited about the upcoming pattern. It’s early but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of enhanced risk days in the southern plains before it’s all said and done.

Looks wet and potentially chilly, nothing crazy cold, but soon to be on going PV split or SSWE may lead to below normal weather mid march- early april

Do you remember the decade by any chance?

Hopefully later in March we can get the precipitation to shift south. Latest GFS barely has anything south of I-10 over the next couple weeks. Euro looks a lil better.

Over 20 years ago. Late 90s or early 00s.

I expect severe weather season to get cranked up soon. Usually, the cap protects the Houston area...but from CLL or Hearne and north there will be action. Warmer and soupier air is on the way.
