January: Seasonal Temps To End The Month

[jabcwb2]

Is there somewhere I can see current rain fall totals?

Try this for Harris County rainfall totals:

I'm thinking if wxman57 doesn't like what he's seeing at 384.....it's probably something to do with cold, as he's like me and can't stand cold.

Yeah, but that's 15 days out, so why worry? I was under the impression we could get quite chilly starting next week anyway.

Was locked out past day as I'm at the AMS meeting in Austin on my ipad. All is well now. Heaviest rain in Houston may be tomorrow. I will be meeting Portastorm for lunch tomorrow. I don't like the 384hr GFS.

I wonder which 384 hour GFS WXman57 does not like. There is a cold blast from the north.

HGX must read srains posts too since he always talks about that mjo stuff too!

I've had .80" so far, and .50" of that came overnight at about 4AM with lots of thunder & lightning.

I'm wondering of the warm front is really still south of Houston as depicted on the surface charts. The dewpoint up here is already above 60 and winds have shifted more to the SE.

.71" for the day with most of this from this morning.

is everything going as forecasted here? the radar seems quiet

[Rip76]

Looks pretty stable at the moment.

The calm before the storm.

Good to know my cable company's Emergency Broadcast System is working flawlessly. Apparently, between the hours of 3 and 4 this afternoon they were fine tuning it, because I had to endure a total of four test.
By the third test I thought for sure it was an actual emergency, nope.
Anybody remember the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

Got that test too. Isn't there something about waiting until a good weather day to do that?

I dont think there is any Severe threat at all...maybe a few strong storms...there is cap inversion. Forecast bust?

Wouldn't call it quits yet. Remember, the severe wx threat has continued to be forecast as an overnight into Wednesday threat.

"Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms in the evening...then thunderstorms and showers after midnight. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall in the evening. Some thunderstorms may be severe with heavy rainfall after midnight. Warmer. Lows in the lower 60s. Southeast winds 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent."

Btw, anyone else doing the night crew thing tonight? I'll be up watching this stuff tonight.

Looks like all the rain went to Louisiana. Did any of the models show this?

[C2G]

Yup, I wouldn't count it out of the question yet, cap inversion or not.

Showers and
thunderstorms are still expected to continue to increase in
coverage across our region late tonight as the approach of the
upper low leads to the formation of a surface low to our west and
draws the warm front northward into the region. As the boundary
moves in the risk of severe thunderstorms will increase
tonight...as strong low level winds will support the potential for
rotating thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes

I'll be on the island and report anything of interest, triple six.
Appears to be the warm front just to our south, which will be drawn back into our area later tonight, thus enhancing our rain and the possibility of severe.
Just a teaser before the main event.

I agree. Just saw the warm front position on TWC's current wx conditions map and it is indeed south of us...almost onshore the coastline it seems but my eyesight is horrible so it's hard to tell. My darn weather radio died. I just put batteries in it yesterday!
