Still looking for a front Monday night into early Tuesday. Won't be "cold" but the morning lows will range from the mid-to low 70's at the beach mid-week, with perhaps even a little cooler by Thursday or Friday.
Stan Blazyk commented on Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 forms in the Gulf of Mexico
Likewise!
Stan Blazyk commented on More heavy rains possible for Galveston County
On the good news side, it appears as through the heaviest rain has shifted to our east and that the atmosphere over the County has stabilized some in the wake of this morning's rain. If that holds then we may be spared the heaviest rains......still there is time for that to change so I wi…

Timely update. One change in the operating procedures for the National Hurricane Center is that the NHC will begin issuing regular reports on May 15 instead of waiting until June 1.
Stan Blazyk commented on Mild weather to continue a while longer, while weekend appears to be breezy and quite cool with a chance of showers
I will try my best!
Stan Blazyk commented on Winter Storm Advisory in effect for Northwest sections of the County
Models still wobbling on whether the Island will get a freeze, but most of the mainland certainly will.
Stan Blazyk commented on Heavy rain and a likely freeze in the picture for this week
Right. That is the official Houston NWS forecast this morning. With the models wobbling some over the past few days, we could end up anywhere between 30 degrees to 36 degrees on the Island, depending in part on the exact timing of the frontal passage and how quickly skies will clear. But,…
