A freezing cold morning over the region with widespread temperatures in the upper 20’s and low 30’s. Appears the only locations that did not experience a freeze this morning were the immediate beach areas (Galveston 45) and inside the 610 loop (urban heat island).
An impressive upper level low pressure system will quickly approach TX from the west later today and the clear skies for much of the day will rapidly become cloudy by late afternoon into early evening as moisture quickly returns off the western Gulf of Mexico. A little surprised how fast models are bringing moisture back into the area with such a dry air mass in place. Southerly low level jet cranks up this evening and helps to transport better moisture toward the area. Surface warm front will begin to move northward, but doubt it makes it to the coast on Wednesday Strong lift will come to bear across the region as the upper level trough approaches and expect widespread showers and even a few thunderstorms to develop on Wednesday. Upper level system will be progressive with rainfall ending Wednesday evening followed by another strong cold front down the plains and another blast of cold air across the region.
Rainfall amounts will likely average in the .50 to 1.0 inch range with isolated amounts upwards of 2 inches potentially around Galveston Bay and across portions of Galveston, Chambers, Liberty, and Harris Counties.
Late week forecast will be cold with continued cold air advection behind a couple of cold fronts. The first front will move across the area late Wednesday and bring temperatures into the low 40’s for lows and mid 50’s for highs with gusty NW winds on Thursday. A second front will move across the region late Thursday into early Friday with lows likely near freezing again north of I-10 both Friday and Saturday mornings.

My family in Kansas has already seen snow this year, while past years has been in largely a snow drought of major events as well.
