Re: Texas Winter 2014-2015
If the pressure in Monatana exceeds 1064mb it will break the CONUS record for highest all time pressure, that was in Dec 1983 (Miles City, MT). Jan 1962 had a pressure reading of 1063.3 mb in Montana. Doubt that will happen, but would be interesting to say the least.

INTO WEDNESDAY LEADING TO AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN INITIALLY ALONG THE
RIO GRANDE...THEN SPREADING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA.
PERIODS OF LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN OR SHOWERS WILL

I like the way you think. Same here. Weather service was talking doom and gloom for this weekend with rainfall totals of up to 10" by tonight. Most areas received 2 or less.

Indeed he does Perk. I really enjoy reading his post as well as wxman57, portastorm, ntxw, orangeblood, texas snowman and tireman4 among others. I am happy to have a local site like this one and KHOU forums to get some great insight on weather around us. I am not a pro met but I have been following weather since I was about 5 years old. Bring on the cold and winter precip (sorry wxman57).
