I noticed that you don't have your LOCATION filled in on your profile. I guess if I had Pappas Gumbo and beer, I wouldn't either! :)

Are any of them even real degree mets?? I honestly don't know and I'm willing to bet that at least a couple of them aren't.

Do you think when it is time to accept reality - do they draw straws or make the rookie break the bad news

I feel like the dry air will fill in accordingly once the ULL heads east.

Look at the 12Z CRP sounding it is fairly moist...increasing lift this evening and 850mb moisture advection will moisten things up. Td's starting to rise slightly.

12Z WRF nailed the coastal event this early afternoon and then showed a break prior to the main event late this evening

At work...had 2000 emails waiting on me. Nearly every district and every school in Houston and surrounding areas is closed tomorrow. I still suspect a decent winter storm. Okay, back to work. Phones ringing off the hook!!!!
