Texas Spring 2019

[1900hurricane]

Hail threat looks to be going down as darkness sets in, but storms are still thriving along the boundary, beginning to line up ominously. The axis of heaviest rain might be setting up right through downtown.

The radar looks scary... this is going to be a LONG night!

Never in my life have I heard of softball size hail in southeast Texas until tonight.. just wow

Be safe down there in SE Texas! I have relatives in Katy. Not sure how they are doing.

Pretty rare in SE Texas. Loud and scary, I bet those folks never want to experience that again!

According to the Ft Bend County Sheriff, four houses in Katy have been struck by lightning. One is about 1/2 mile from me. No injuries than goodness.

Radar looks like everything is slowly shifting south, but downtown Houston is still getting a good bit of rain. North and NW seem to have hit a dry window. I haven't had rain in over an hour and a half.

Jersey Village is about to see some serious flooding issues.

On my app, says an area already has 8"

I'm not saying this isn't true, but the Harris County Flood District site is showing max at around 6" in 12 hours in a few areas. Not that it isn't bad...

The past 90 days the NAO (west based) has seen some strong blocking. Our unusual Spring cool spell (coupled with some -EPO) has created a wet/cool couplet. Could have used some of that in winter.

Spring 2013 saw abnormal -NAO that flipped the global circulations minus the wet pattern, is it a similar sign of a flip?

55 degrees this morning at my place. On the news, they said ABIA would have a record cold day. High of 62 today. LOVE IT!

Days like today make me miss winter..crisp, cool, beautiful. Windows open, AC is off, feels clean, just a pot of joy...only 6 months away...

Amen. Relish it folks, this is probably our last taste of weather like this for a while. Mothers Day looks to be perfect with low humidity and sunshine. I am thinking beer and food once again outside.

56 degrees at my home in Del Rio near 11 am... amazing..

down to 55

Lake levels across the eastern half of the state is very healthy. We will be in good standing even for a dry, hot summer (though I doubt it will be). The Northwestern half to third of the state started the year well, better than most, but of course the further east and southeast you go climo eventually caught up. This is why you SE Texas folks really should hardly worry about short term dry spells. In the end, you'll still end up more than everybody. It is the wettest part of the state for a reason historically. It can be made up quickly. It takes areas up north and west months to achieve 5" of rain that can happen in a mere hours in the coastal areas.




Never argue against climo


By summer's end that area in Beaumont/Port Arthur will be ahead of everyone.

So when’s our next rainmaker? Looks like this one is pretty much over for my area.
