The front just passed DW Hooks in Tomball. Brenham is currently reporting 57F with gusty NNW winds to 25 MPH. It is 20 degrees warmer across Metro Houston. Certainly going to be 'colder" today. Don't forget a jacket. You may need by the afternoon!

From radar it is not clear at all where the front is located.

You should be able to see the front on this radar. It is booking it towards the coast.

Even more so on this one:

From radar it is not clear at all where the front is located.

The front just passed the West Loop/Galleria area and the Heights. Moving into Downtown now and should continue S and E at around 10 to 15 MPH. Current temperature in NW Harris County is 64F and falling.

Wow! I think I can see the tornado on the NWS radar loop for Relative velocity. If it's what I think it is, it's a little circle at the base of the warning area.

Funnel cloud was reported by the public on FM 521 just W of SH 288 to the N of Angleton. Rotation has weakened at this time.

Pretty wicked surge of thunderstorm power along the front.
