Good Saturday afternoon. With a bonafide winter storm on the way, we’ll keep you posted on things this weekend. Most of the morning model data is in, and we can discuss some of what is shown and lay out some thoughts for what might actually happen tomorrow. First, the housekeeping: A Winter Storm Watch (as […]

Good morning. Today’s post will be fairly brief, as I went in depth rather significantly on weekend snow chances yesterday, and we will be keeping you posted this weekend. To be quite frank, not much has changed since yesterday’s post, although trends overnight were slightly warmer. But still, let’s jump in. Today & Saturday Not […]

That’s about one every 3 to 4 days on average, although after some warmth in November the pace […]

For those that enjoy Houston-style winter weather, it’s been a treat with a few exceptions over the last few weeks. We’re going to get more of that through next week beginning with the first in a series of fronts later today. Today It’s a quiet start this morning with just some clouds around for most. […]

We are headed for a relatively quiet weekend in southeast Texas, after a lot of active, changeable weather lately. With the exception of a minor hiccup tomorrow, we are in for quite a stretch of weather. More in a second. Yesterday, Eric touched on the recent rains being of benefit to our area, and the […]

A lot to get to today, but I want to start by saying that I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was as enjoyable and, most importantly, safe as possible. It’s been a rough year, and I hope you were able to find some time to be at peace with everything. I’ll echo Eric’s sentiments from yesterday and […]
