(New!!) Cold for the Deep South (Models, Maps, Discussion)

[cheezyWXguy]

While everyone else last weekend got to freezing at my house it only got to 35.3 degress it seems like it never gets cold where I leave but everyone around my area(Medical Center) reports colder temps. My wireless trhemometer sensor is on my window seal wich is about a yard off the ground there also is alot of concrete sourounding it could this be why my temps are allways warmer?

Ya i have a digital thermometer too in my back yard. mine is warmer than what they say too. I think its because the heating inside my house affects it since its on my windowsill

To bad you had to step in VB. I have been lurking and seeing the turmoil increase in the thread.

WE are all family here who loves weather. Its easy to take something personal while the other person posts as a joke. We miss the context of seeing the other person face to face to see they are not serious or joking.
I too have have gotten upset over a post thinking the worst. We are our own worst emeny in this environment. Believe me after 9 years on the message boards I have let it go and have seen many a flame war over context.

wow...things sure did get quiet after the last post...

well said bro.....I know all to well what can happen when posting something that you seem harmless and others don't....... I have learned to keep the joking down to a minimum or face the wrath of the mods. Just kidding mods out there.....

25-30 miles south of Houston and 35-40 miles north of Galveston. If that helps...

DFW NWS is still pointing this to the NW counties. Sorry cheezy, but that doesn't include you and me right now. I'll see what the TV mets have to say 2nite. One thing though, I haven't seen a decent chance of rain over consecutive days like this, in a long time. Looks like from Thurs night to Monday there's a least a chance.

[cheezyWXguy]

ya thanx...i didnt know there was such a big gap between houston and galveston...I thought was like 20 mi from place to place

I grew up in Pearland and have watched it change dramatically. Mom lives off Yost Rd in Pearland which is a big mess as they widen it.

Much has changed over the past 25 years

[cheezyWXguy]

[cheezyWXguy]

[KatDaddy]

You may right cheezywxman this hurricane season. We could not have been any more lucky if you can call it that. I still feel very badly for our friends to the E and onward toward Pensacola, FLA. A heart breaking summer is the only words to express what I have felt during the 2005 hurricane season.

[cheezyWXguy]

Ya...can u believe there were 27 storms this year? thats incredable! both fascinating and terrifying

Cold arctic air mass continues to build over NW Canada.

Air mass will arrive in TX Friday making for a cold and at times wet weekend.

Split flow upper air pattern with amplified northern stream to result in large scale arctic outbreak across the eastern 2/3rds of the US this weekend into next week. Fast zonal southern stream flow will result in overrunning of the cold surface dome with lots of clouds and light precipitation through the weekend into next week.

Arctic boundary should reach SE TX sometime Friday morning with high temps. being recorded early then falling throughout the day. Surface moisture will pool along and behind the front as the shallow air mass invades. Sea fog could be an issue along the coast and in the bays Thursday as dewpoints exceed coastal water temps. Shallow cold air mass is firmly entrenched by early Saturday with warm southerly and SW flow above the surface dome. Clouds and light rain is likely with temps. in the 40’s and brisk N winds. Embedded southern stream short waves will enhance the rainfall at times through the weekend.

Freezing line at the surface should remain well north of SE TX across N and NC TX where freezing rain and some icing will be possible both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Should the air mass be colder than expected the freezing line will be farther south along with the threat for icing.

Extended:

Long period of overrunning conditions looks in store as moist SW flow aloft glides above cold surface ridge locked in place. Secondary cold surge arrives Tuesday with renewed overrunning precip. This front may drive temps. closer to freezing across SE TX around Wednesday of next week and P-type may become an issue.


In short near 80 today and Thursday will be replaced with cold, cloudy, wet, and windy conditions through the weekend into much of next week.
