A quick update today. The cold front is currently moving across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It will arrive in the Houston area later this afternoon. I would expect some watches to be issued later today for severe weather, so keep an eye out later today.

Stormy weather will arrive in Southeast Texas this weekend. Some questions remain around timing but the picture is coming into focus now.
We are now within range of most of the high-resolution models. These models show the storms moving into the Houston Metro area later in the day (versus midday). I think this is the right trend and most of us will stay dry most of Saturday. So, not a washout tomorrow. By late afternoon, a squall line will form and move through during the evening hours. Some of the storms could be severe, especially as the first storms pop-up. Any isolated cells could become tornadic. As the storms mature into a squall line, the main threat will transition into straight-line winds.
Keep a close eye on the weather tomorrow and plan to be ‘stuck’ wherever you are sometime in the evening.

Good morning. Southeast Texas should see some beneficial rains this weekend. In yesterday’s update, I noted the final details probably won’t be sorted out until Friday (tomorrow). That’s still the case as there are some discrepancies with the timing the front. As of now, it appears the storms will move-in later Saturday afternoon into the evening. If that’s the case, most of Saturday will be dry.
Here’s a snapshot of the low clouds moving-in this morning.
Stay tuned…

Seeing storms up in the DFW area today. Some isolated storms in Southeast Texas, but our turn will come later.

Texas will get some much-needed rainfall this weekend. A front will move into the state and stall just north Southeast Texas. This will bring a chance of severe weather across the Dallas-Fort Worth region. One of the big question marks remains how far south the rain will progress and how sharp will the rainfall gradient be? Those details won’t be clear until about Friday. Until then, plan for some rain this weekend especially going into Saturday afternoon.

This is my first post. Testing. More updates to come on this experiment. It will be mostly focused on weather but I am open to suggestions from any comments.
