Hi everyone! It has been a while. I have been very busy getting everything running for the weather company I co-own, Gulf Coast Weather Solutions. We are trying to expand our operations over time and the weather has had its ups and downs. However, we are slowly but surely growing. Some cool news though. I am planning to move to The Woodlands/Conroe area likely in early summer! Trying to get my apartment secured now for then, but I'm hoping that it will be a good opportunity for business growth and also I will be a bit closer to my brothers who live in the area.

Weather-wise, it seems like we are only getting a shot of severe weather about once a month or even just rain. We did have a bit of burst in activity recently, but now it's right back to the weather doldrums. Hopefully we get some more storms going as we head into April soon. This ridge definitely is not helping right now though.

Our dear Captain is right. This ridge is something else. More of a summer pattern than early spring.

Im pretty confident the death ridge wont be much of a player this summer, big westerly wind burst in the pacific right now is going to help El nino to form faster, potentially aiding in the sub tropical jet becoming active in april and beyond

Here we go. This weekend might be bonkers as the SW winds are pumped in from the Sonoran Desert.

Summer starts tomorrow, even though the calendar says the first day of Spring. Historic suck...that will continue for awhile. No rain.

Good luck with the start-up! With NOAA able to cover less ground and the significant reduction in weather balloon launches, we need all the expertise and monitoring we can get.

Historic.

I've declared the Brazos Valley officially a *humid* desert now with occasional flooding. Might as well own it.

2023 was an El Niño summer, and the WOAT for CLL. Be careful what you wish for.

DoctorMu that is true, but every el nino event is different, and i think we are in for a warm ( but nothing crazy like 2023 ) summer, we will see

As Alaska freezes, we bake. The ridge might flatten out some next week, but we are still in the mid to upper 90th percentile range with heat.

Only forecasted to be in the mid to upper 80’s here though. Hell, we already had that in February lol

Models are starting to look good for rain beginning the 30th.

90s and upper 80s here.

Euro-AI and GFS see FROPA, perhaps back door next weekend. AK is mostly cold until some time in early April.

I don't see any rain until April. Gird yer loins for summer.
