MAY 2020

Hopefully this Chamber of Commerce like weather will continue into the merry month of May!

A little pleasantness to wash away our April Apprehension will be nice.

Big change on the 0z Euro. Next weekend looks like a washout now. Lining up more with the GFS now. And also now both the GFS and Euro are showing a massive cool down late next weekend into the following week.

Good, mid 80s-90s (and humid) suck no matter the time of year.

Well my wife is in a bikini for the first time this year so I’m not complaining

Touché on that point.

Yeah, mine loves the beach/heat as well. I’m the only one that loves the cold.

It's a good thing this isn't an Aggie board or you'd be subject to Rule #1

We've had really pretty good weather for a few weeks.

However, we have a short heat spell, then cools off for May.

MJO rising.

Hey gang. I hope everyone is doing well back in Texas. I am nearing 6 months since moving to the Smokey Mountains. It's been non stop work renovating our Mountain Home and thankfully all will be completed by early June.

Western North Carolina weather is a big change from the Upper Texas Coast! Believe it or not we had frost last week! That CPC Chart suggests we may well have a freeze up here next weekend. Enjoy the weather everyone and fingers crossed I will be wearing shorts and flip flops soon enough.

Hope the cool comes back soon. It was nice for a day but yard work was pretty hot today.

Decent chance for a shot of rain this afternoon and evening?

[Katdaddy]

A cold front will move across SE TX this afternoon and evening. The SPC has a marginal risk area for most of SE TX. A line of showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the front. A few of the thunderstorms could become severe.

[Cpv17]

Sneaky severe weather setup today. Marginal risk could be under doing it. It’s calm, hot, and humid out. Seems like ideal conditions for severe weather.

[Cromagnum]

Sun is full tilt now too

1156 AM CDT Tue May 5 2020

.UPDATE...

Regional temperatures have risen into the lower to middle 80s /
lower 70 dew points just downstream of an approaching cold front.
Morning southern propagating gravity waves not only assisted in
clearing out AM skies but may have also inhibited late morning
into early afternoon towering cumulus development. Clear skies
will allow temperatures to warm to around 90 F by 3 PM, eroding a
weak 85H cap noted on the ACARS soundings. This will occur in
tandem with the weak frontogenesis to possibly initiate development
and downstream evolution of central CWA discrete cells. Thus,
still anticipating shower and thunderstorm development to begin
later this afternoon over more southern counties as this frontal
boundary interacts with the local sea breeze boundary within a
heated and unstable late afternoon air mass. Much potential in the
thermo (i.e., CAPE) with little in the dynamic (i.e., shear) so
it is a definite `watch and wait` scenario through the mid
afternoon hours.

[Cromagnum]

Looks like a couple hot spots beginning to flare up with the sea breeze.

Well crap. Looks like the stupid cap is holding strong as ever.

[Rip76]

Boom, right on time.

[Katdaddy]

A nice view of the storms that fired over Central Harris County headed down my way in W League City.

[Cromagnum]

Hope I'm wrong but looks like bupkis in Rosharon.
