Stan Blazyk commented on Next front will bring a real touch of autumn, but the change, again, will be brief
Gale force winds Friday night with strong northerly winds continuing over the Gulf on Saturday. Will be less than ideal sailing conditions, unfortunately.
Stan Blazyk commented on The hottest ever, hope for a cool front and the Tropics
Sorry, if I wasn't clear. It was the hottest September ever, not the hottest month ever (that record was set in August, 2005....though this August came in with the second hottest August ever....and ironically.... the 2nd hottest month ever recorded in Galveston).

Stan Blazyk commented on Local forecast and Tropical Outlook characterized by a lot of “ifs”
Thanks, Ray. By the way, the intermediate (2 week) outlook from GFS has moved the high a little further east, which would decrease our risk a little from storms coming across the Atlantic.....but still far too soon to tell....so I will keep an eye on this factor as we move into September.…
Stan Blazyk commented on Sun and a tropical concern
Yes. Hoping high pressure will allow the system to head north rather than west over time.
Stan Blazyk commented on A look at our heat and the chambers’ early role in Hurricane Warnings
Gary, this column was not about global warming, but the local weather. But, since you brought this up, I need to point out a couple of misconceptions. First, the fact that there have been warm and cold cycles is not disputed by any climate scientist. However, just as the fact that there f…
Stan Blazyk commented on More rain, a weak cold front and a possible disturbance in the Gulf
Latest model forecasts show the system headed mostly for the New Orleans area. It may actually be a pretty decent weekend for us. If the disturbance does develop, it may create some nice swells for the surfers.
