Winter ??????
Today will make for 5 days of winter weather in Metro Houston. Sure the people that live up North who read this are probably laughing to themselves, but we typically don't have these types of conditions until Mid January up until about Valentine's Day.
So far the coldest night of the fall was Yesterday December the 8th at 29 degrees. December the 7th we got down to 32. It's a nice sight to see the frost on the roofs and people doing a little bit of winter car care down South. Right now it's about 15 Degrees warmer than it was this time yesterday so the winds have already shifted back from the South and East and will remain that way until the passage of the next front.
This time of year our warm weather comes from the Winds from the West so it probably wont even break 70 degrees for the next 5 days or maybe until next Friday.
Also there was some well needed rain. It wasn't a big rain all at one time but a slow rain over a few days that should have been able to seep into the ground. I am tempted to go ahead and predict a snowfall or an ice storm sometime in January or February. It seems that there will be a few times were a separate LOW develop around Houston which will draw in cold air from Canada..and will also make for a monster East coast storm. Just my thoughts it's fairly easy to get an ice-storm down here but a lot harder to get snow. It only needed to have been 10 degrees cooler on that rainy day for it to have been an ice issue. Now if the weather pattern changes then no..but if it stays the way they are running now yes. Got it?
So an ok weekend is coming up. Might get a tad windy towards the end as the next cold front approaches. Then there will be the typical rain chance when it passes then the cycle repeats itself. We are still too far out to see what it's going to be like on Dec 25th. I remember growing up back in the 80's that we would always get an Arctic blast right after school let out but that stopped happening in the early 90's.

Tuesday-Thunderstorms HTX
Good Morning!
Someone did the rain dance last night. Well someone has been doing the rain dance all weekend because we will get rain today. The last few fronts that have come through Houston Metro have helped ease the drought. The reason is because the front are running about a week apart. If you look back or keep track of everything you will see that we have had a cold front just about every Tuesday or Wednesday since about the start of October. Having these front come about a week apart with winds off the Gulf of Mexico for a week provides enough moisture and instability in the atmosphere so that when the next front approaches we get heavy rain or Thunderstorms. (I am sure Mrs Lamb my English teacher would cringe at this run on sentence..RIP)
So there are two lines of Thunderstorms that we will have to deal with today. They may merge and form one line but this is going to be a rainy morning. Most of the rain should be cleared from the area by lunch time and then it will just be cloudy.
Possibility of Tornadoes and straight line winds maybe a little bit of Hail. Usually after November the severe weather threat will drop with the passage of fronts but we still have to get through the end of the month.
I promise you two nice days before the clouds and the chance of rain returns again. If you are doing the Turkey Trot your run will be perfect.
Don't get your hair wet!
Don't catch a cold!
Enjoy the rain!

Sat 19th and Sun 20th
6:53am
This weekend will be a re-peat of last weekend. Warm and humid with a chance of light or passing showers each day. Morning clouds in the morning but the sun will eventually prevail.
The next front is coming sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday. I am prepared at this time to say that THANKSGIVING will be nice and pleasant weather. I am almost 100% sure of this. If something changes between now and then I will be sure to let you know. If you are running the Turkey run on Thursday Morning it should be clear and cold in the lower 40's.
Get outdoors and enjoy the weather.

Work week 11.14.11
What a nice weekend!
So it's that time again. What will the weather hold for Houston Metro this week?
It's officially upper level low season. Starting a little early this year and will go through about mid February. Pacific storms off the Coast Move from West to East so that is what we have to look forward to. It was interesting that one of my friends flew into LAX on Saturday and was dealing with rain. It usually takes about 3 days for the weather to get here from California. That will put the system here Starting Monday night with the worst weather on Tuesday with a gradual clear up Wednesday with the arrival of a cold front.
So the weather forecast for all the runners and those who enjoy the outdoors is, basically to have a rain coat or umbrella handy through Wednesday. As always when a front comes through we will have at least 2 nice sunny days after the front passes. So Thursday and Friday should be nice with high in the low 70's and lows in the 40's.
The low temperature this week was 38. So we got a little colder this week from last weeks 39.
The high temperature this week was actually today at 83. It's humid and the dew-point is at spring time leaves.
Beware of severe weather. It's perfect weather for November tornadoes or Thunderstorms with straight line winds. Everyone thinks our tornadoes come in the Spring by our tornado months are March and November.
Everyone in the greater Houston Area should get at least .50 inches of rain this week with up to 3 inches in some areas.
Houston Metro WX update.
