Hello everybody. As some of you are aware, I haven't posted a new blog entry in over a year and a half. The reasons for this are various, but this by no means indicates a loss of passion for meteorology. Hopefully this summer, I'll be able to get back around to doing actual blog entries, but in the meantime, feel free to follow me on twitter!

Tropical Storm Don and Texas

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:46:00 GMT

Howdy everybody! It's been quite a while since I've updated my blog, but since we now have Tropical Storm Don in the Gulf of Mexico, it's time to change that! Hurricane hunter aircraft investigated Invest 90L and found that it had organized enough to warrant an upgrade past Tropical Depression status and straight to Tropical Storm Don.

Beginning now and continuing through the weekend, a well-deserved warm-up will commenc...

Although the possible event is still five days out, there is increasing confidence in a possible winter weather event for at least part of Texas. Currently, several of the forecast models are forecasting a Blue Norther sweep the state early next week, dropping temperatures to well below average values. During this same time period, a disturbance could be crossing the state. While there is not a great consensus on how this disturbance is going to act, there is a gene...

Rapid Intensification Threat from Karl, Erosion of Igor's Eyewall

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 00:18:00 GMT

Hurricane Karl held his structure together amazingly well while crossing the Yucatan, and now that he is over open water, intensification has resumed. However, the big question is how much stronger Karl will get before landfall. The NHC is calling for a Category 2 Hurricane by landfall. I'm predicting slightly higher, a Category 3 Major Hurricane. Here's why:As I mentioned earlier, Karl had very good structure coming off of the Yucatan, and it has only improved sinc...
