I am keeping an eye to the sky Garnet. We missed all the action yesterday it was to the north.

Let me know if you see or hear anything serious developing.

go to your profile garnet (at the top of this page) and select an avator that you like the best. I chose the catcus - don't ask me why - just did.

LOL.
If you need help - let me know.

240 PM CDT WED APR 23 2003

CONVECTION FINALLY DEVELOPING OVER THE NW HALF OF THE REGION. THIS
TREND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THIS EVENING AND EXPAND INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. MODELS FCST PW'S TO REACH 1.8-1.9 INCHES OVERNIGHT. SE TX
WILL LIE IN THE LFQ OF AN APPROACHING 120 KNOT JET MAX OVERNIGHT AS
THE DRY LINE PUSHES EAST. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IF THE DRYLINE
WILL GET HERE...BUT BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS...FEEL DRYLINE WILL GET
PRETTY CLOSE. THINK A NOCTURNAL BOW ECHO EVENT MAY BE IN THE CARDS
OVERNIGHT AS A LINEAR MCS RACES EAST. WILL KEEP LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
IN THE ZONES OVERNIGHT BUT FEEL THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE DUE TO HIGH PW'S BUT
THINK TRAINING ECHOS WILL BE NECESSARY FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
CONFIDENCE IN HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPING IS LOW. AM CARRYING HIGH POPS
THURSDAY MORNING BUT FEEL PRECIP WILL END AREA WIDE BY 15Z. FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY LOOKS PRETTY NICE WITH SEASONAL TEMPS AND THE AREA
REMAINING RAIN FREE. CURRENT FCST IS CARRYING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS MON-TUE. ALTHO CURRENT MODELS ARE NOT AS BULLISH AS EARLIER
RUNS...THERE IS A WEAKNESS AT 50H AND MOISTURE LEVELS INCREASE.
THERE IS ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING.
WILL ISSUE A NEW HWO FOR TONIGHTS EXPECTED CONVECTION. WILL MAINTAIN
SCA FOR TONIGHT DUE TO TIGHT GRADIENT. WIND FIELD RELAXES QUICKLY ON
THURSDAY AND WIND FIELDS LOOK RATHER VARIABLE.

Current radar shows a dissapating bow echo moving E from the DFW area, but nothing for SE TX. That is not to say it can't/won't happen, but it sure appears less likely than it did earlier when the dry line was almost solid with heavy storms. The southern portion of that line has now disapated. If any happens in the Houston area I would not expect it till sometime near sunrise or later. Since the progs show the weather clearing this area by 10 am I see it as much less likely at this time.

Our local forecast is 80% coverage of showers and thunderstorms by daybreak....some storms could be severe with damaging winds, hail and heavy rains.

So far though - all is quiet.

I've got to get some sleep now....very long and busy day!!

Well, since I posted that last message a few minutes ago I checked radar and there is a squall line just starting to develop and head this general direction. Still several hours away though.

Keep an eye in the sky my Houston area friends...it looks to be developing pretty rapidly and may get ugly if the forecast holds up.
