What an absolutely gorgeous and perfect day here! I couldn't have asked for better weather. Exterior Christmas lights going up today. No telling how much i'll be putting up just to stay outside! The Griswalds may have competition! (Nah, won't be that bad!)

Houston NWS is now going with 40˚ for a low Tuesday night as of the afternoon update. This is 1 degree warmer than the GFS MOS (39˚) and 4 degrees warmer than the operational GFS (36˚). The NWS will likely have to lower the number back into the mid to upper 30s range for tomorrow's forecast updates.

The 00z GFS MOS now depicts a low of 37˚ at IAH next Tuesday morning, and the 00z ETA MOS and NGM MOS are identical. Considering this, I think the NWS will have no other choice but to lower our forecasted low temperatures for Monday night in their next update.

The 18z GFS and the 18z GFS MOS have both trended cooler. The latest numbers from each look like this...

18z operational GFS = 34 degrees

18z GFS MOS = 36 degrees

Do not be surprised to see the NWS lower their currently forecasted 38 degrees in their next update.

Actually, it's coming out of my water hose at the moment! :lol:

Nothing like a little water to keep the vegetation green a while longer.

Already down to 51 here and dropping fast! :cold:

48º here just inside the beltway on the west side. Looks like about 1º-2º per hour drop so we could bottom out around 28º on the low end(though doubtful even this close into the urban heat core) or make 38º on the high end. Anyway you look at it for Houston, IT'S COLD!!!!!! :cold:

Yankeegirl · #454 Postby **Yankeegirl** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 9:06 pm

I am down to 48 now... i love this weather! It kinda feels like the holidays now, maybe i should go shopping... ?

Nah, the Patriots are on!!!

Extremeweatherguy · #455 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 9:24 pm

At 8:24pm, I am sitting at a chilly 39.4 degrees up here in Spring. :cold:

Now 45º here so it looks like we will be doing(trying to be conserevative and allow for surprises I don't/can't anticipate)an easy 30º here in Spring Branch. I'm starting to think outlying areas such as Cypress, Spring, etc. will easily see mid to upper 20's. :froze:

10pm area temperatures...

IAH - 44˚
Hobby - 47˚
Sugar Land - 40˚
Beaumont - 42˚
Galveston - 51˚

My thermometer - 36.9˚
