TornadoFan's look at Gulf Coast Weather

The Beat, er Heat, is on!

Well, the sea breeze storms I anticipated yesterday did NOT come close to forming. However, the set up is slightly better today as we have a Meso over Texas currently heading in this general direction. I’ll up the chance of rain all the way up to 10%, with chance of hearing thunder at 20%. I’ve attached yesterday’s reasoning for more info.The change is the forecast is that MAYBE, just MAYBE, the sea breeze will kick up a storm hither and thither locally. A...

Rain today - thunder quite possible

Wed, 3 Jun 2009 12:14:00 GMT
Well, our little low pressure system in the Gulf is starting to influence our weather a bit. Beautiful this morning as the sun rise peeked between clouds and lit up the storm cell approaching from the Gulf. As I type, rain drops are beginning to fall. Shall be wet through parts of the day and humid. Look for more of the same tomorrow as well. Overall, the storms should be tame, but the lightning could get intense at times. Always a Google away...

Hi.Well, it's been a week since the last post, where the main concern was 90L. It turned out to give us a little over 2 inches of rain at the house, with a nice humid breeze. TD 1 formed off the coast of the Carolinas and bothered the fishes. Bob's contest is still safe for now.Today, the north wind has taken over the humidity has dropped like a rock. It really feels nice outside. High temps should reach the upper 80's and low 90's the next few days with humidi...

Gulf low will be our entertainment this weekend

Wed, 20 May 2009 14:21:00 GMT
Well, 90L was declared and abandoned in 24 hours. GFDL and HWRF went ballistic with their forecasts, so that may not be a good sign for this season. Air is still quite cool outside for this time of the year, with dew points in the 40's. The clouds being pushed this way by the Gulf Low/ULL complex keep evaporating, but eventually the clouds will take over and dew points will climb. It may even feel like summer again by this weekend. Looks like the bulk of the rai...
