  1. Looks like the first real week of heat will be arriving in Texas next week with mid-90's in the forecast and dry conditions. We've been doing pretty well with receiving rain this spring in east Texas... but it looks like I'll have to start watering my lawn next week.
  2. Had a couple pieces of graupel fall from the sky in Longview this morning. Air temp is 46F.
  3. Yeah it was. A good 20+ minutes of 50-60 mph gusts here. Knocked over the next door neighbor's fence. Also heard a tree fall a block north and partially land on a house, luckily it wasn't directly on it.
  4. Day 3 Slight Risk for NE TX, N LA, S AR, and W MS. Mentions after dark tornadic potential with strengthening LLJ.
  5. Models are showing a pretty good severe/tornado threat this afternoon/evening in extreme SE New Mexico and SW Texas.
  6. Measured another 2.5" at my house from yesterday's and last night's rain. My yard is a bit swampy.
  7. I had another 0.7" Wednesday during the day, putting my 3 day total at about 8". The golf course next to my office had a wee bit of water in it.
  8. I measured 4.1" of rain from yesterday through 7 AM this morning. Combined with 3.2" from earlier this week puts me at 7.3" for the week.
  9. I had 2.6" of rain IMBY earlier this morning. More heavy rain expected through Wednesday. *Update: 3.2" total for the day through 7 pm.
  10. North Central TX might see some interesting storms later this afternoon.
  11. Maybe we'll get lucky but it sounds like we'll just get lots of cold rain...
  12. The GFS has been advertising some kind of ice/sleet/snow event for western/central/northeast TX in the January 15-17th range mid-late next week.
  13. Brrrr. I'm surprised it's this cold already and it's not even officially winter.
  14. Cold front is on its way through... thought all of the precipitation would miss me but we're getting a tail-end storm finally. It won't be a lot but it's something at least!
  15. The forecast high for Monday is 73. After a mid-week warmup, next Friday and Saturday will only reach the upper 60's. Fall is here (finally)!
  16. I'm definitely looking forward to some cooler temps next week. September was a heater. And would a little bit of rain be too much to ask for?
  17. I ended up getting 1.6" from yesterday around noon until this morning at 7:30 AM. The radar estimate seems way off, as it shows that I should have only had about 0.3". I guess the small droplet size had something to do with that?
  18. Oh wow, that's nuts. Is that the only model that picks up on this that you've seen? Hopefully that's an outlier and can be disregarded, but it would be nice if we ended up with more than an inch. Just not 12".
  19. I'm curious, where do you go to view the Euro model? I use COD weather but it doesn't have that model. Everything on there looks like 0.5"-1" for at least the Longview area now, instead of 2-4" from yesterday.
  20. Hopefully the flooding isn't too bad, but many areas could surely use the rain.
  21. It's hot and dry... this week doesn't look much different, although temperatures should be in the mid-90's compared to the 100's over the last few days. Very small chances for rain Mon-Wed.
  22. Cashed in on the recent mini-drought in my backyard big-time today. Some of the hardest rain I've seen all season, combined with a bit of small hail and 20+ minute barrage of crazy close-range CG lightning. I ended up with 2.6" of rain in a little over an hour.
  23. Doesn't look promising. I guess I'll have to keep watering my lawn!
