Dew points are dropping quickly around the Taylor area. My air temp has just hit 32.

On a side note I love the mascots in that area. Taylor Ducks, Hutto Hippos. It’s like someone said, screw a Tiger, I want my animal to be an animal of the people.

[txsnowmaker]

I’m from that area and my brother lives there.

Looked at the temp, and nope, it’s below where it was supposed to be right now by one degree.

He says the streets are white and cold is overperforming. Their downhill slide into the low 20s starts later this morning when the core of the cold arrives in wave 2.

And wxman57 is one guy who is speaking to HOUSTON PROPER. Lindner thinks this may go to the high end if it goes convective and there’s a decent shot at that. There are several who say otherwise. This is going to be a major event for several of us. If you’d like to move on to next weekend, please do, exit this thread and head on over to the February thread.

And for the love of God, stop saying metro Houston. That implies suburbs of Houston too. If you want to say where you live downtown or HOUSTON PROPER, then your statement might be taken credibly. Otherwise, you kinda sound uneducated when you speak in absolutes and really have no clue.

Don’t shoot the messenger lol, someone on storm2k said they’re in south Tyler and it was 32 when it had been pegged to be 23 at the same time. As to metro Houston, I’ve lived here all my life and in my circles we all understand Metro Houston means inside the beltway. Memorial, River Oaks, Tanglewood, The Heights, Bellaire, Third Ward, etc. Not Spring, Katy, Cinco Ranch, First Colony, Sugar Land, etc. I’ll be sure to specify inside the beltway from now on lol.

Inside the beltway is the “inner belt”

Much like the DFW METROplex, Houston metro refers to the 7.8 million people in the following counties

Key Counties: The area includes Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Liberty, Waller, Chambers, Austin, and San Jacinto counties.


And why I get frustrated is because I send vendors and clients here and Storm2k to get info, and they get conflicting info and then I get texts at 6 am after a night of solid bourbon drinking. I’m ornery because I get to go coach 5th grade basketball a tad hung over this morning

All good, my friend. I’ll specify inside the loop when I’m referring to the heart of Houston in the future.

Has the front made it off the coast yet?Getting pretty chilly here

Dew points are dropping quickly around the Taylor area. My air temp has just hit 32.

I just noticed that, while Corsicana keeps holding at 34. What’s left of that warm edge (shadow effect) is being eroded away though as the winds shift.

FWIW. In Beaumont, according to models, we were supposed to hit 52 at 10am. It is currently 43 at 10am and still dropping. IMO, I still think coastal areas might be in for more than what’s being forecasted as far as wintery precipitation goes. We are now at the “nowcasting” stage.

It’s all going to depend on how fast the cold moves in. And as of now it looks like it’s coming in a lot faster than expected.

[Cromagnum]

2.5 inches of rain overnight. None of it stuck. Sitting at 29 now.

For entertainment purposes only. WeatherBug already has 50% snow for Fri/Sat next week in their 10 day for Beaumont. Lol

What we need is for the next front to trend colder at the surface and for the colder anomalies to be a bit more directed at us instead of the SE. My biggest concern about next week is if it’ll be cold enough.

This is an attempt to clear up some of the confusion on ice and freeze line timing for the Houston metro area.

This event is sort of cutting the metro area in half along US 59

NW of US 59 likely to have more ice (.10-.20) more travel issues on bridges.

SE of US 59 are likely to have less ice with temperatures a few degrees warmer (.01.-.05)…this could still make bridges slick.

Freeze line timing:

Waller/Hockley areas: 6-8pm

Spring to Katy: 8-11pm

US 59: 10pm-100am

Pearland to Baytown: 200am-400am

Bayarea: 400am-600am

It’s 29 degrees and snowing in Tyler. The backside o the system will bring incertainty

[tireman4]

My dad just sent these pics to me from gore,Oklahoma

[Nuby33]

Conroe at 38*F.. was supposed to be above 40*F until 1pm per the hourly forecast

[tireman4]

It is 43 in Humble and slowly dropping.

42 now. Dropping about 1 degree every 30 minutes

[djmike]

Yeah looks like the temps never made it to their forecasted highs for many today. I’m supposed to be at 50 at this time and it is currently 41 and dropping.

If nothing falls from the sky frozen, these rain puddles better dry up or there will be some slip sliding happening!

Models have really back off on our system next weekend, looks like this is out best shot at wintry precip for a while
