msp Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 yep, a few good garden variety t-storms tracking across the nw metro. won't amount to much, but that area has been prone to fires this last week and any additional precip can help. looks like the brazos valley is going to remain dry for now, and CLL was back at or above average again.

Srain Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 There are some hints that the Ridge will break later in the coming week. Fingers crossed that the models are correct and some rain chances returning for the 4th of July holiday weekend verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 up, up, and away. maybe five consecutive 100+ this week at CLL. already an unpleasant 90/72; those 78F lows are brutal. working on booking airfare down there for the 7th-12th. hopefully a nice weekend in san antonio. if history is any indication, expect rain on the 13th.

Msalgado Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Brand new fire in Northern NM today. This one is near Los Alamos and the picture is from Santa Fe. My crappy cell phone camera didn't do the pyrocumulus justice as they were really impressive. Winds have been as high as 40 mph today and the temps are in the mid 90s with dewpoints in the teens. 6% relative humidity is ridiculous. We really really need the monsoon to kick in.

Ed Lizard Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 IMBY post. Glass sixtheenth full optimism, 1.7 inch PW on the CRP sounding, and IAH winds SSW at 9 mph, its wouldn't seem absolutely impossible for isolated sea breeze storms. Lapse rates are unimpressive, but it is almost July. Edit to Add- Satellite and surface (IAH 10 mph gust 18), seabreeze looks darned unlikely.

Srain Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 The 12Z Euro looks a bit more promising re: rain chances for S TX as 95L heads a bit further N via that model. Fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msalgado Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The fire I posted about above has grown to nearly 50,000 acres in under 24 hours. Los Alamos National Labs is severely threatend as fire was just outside of their boundaries earlier today and the town of Los Alamos itself is threatened. The Cerro Grande fire 11 years ago burned some of these areas and destroyed many homes in the town as well as buildings in the lab so this is a sadly familiar situation for residents. Fire conditions today aren't as bad as they were yesterday but they are still pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Perhaps a bit of good news in the medium range as the Ridge shifts a bit N. HPC: WITH WARM CORE RIDGING STUCK TO SOME DEGREE OVER THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS...HIGHS NEAR OR ABOVE 110 DEGREES REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN KANSAS/OKLAHOMA/NORTHERN AND WESTERN TEXAS THROUGH THE PERIOD WHICH SHOULD WORSEN DROUGHT CONDITIONS. WITH THE RIDGES RETROGRESSION INTO THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGHS SHOULD REACH 120 DEGREES ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT. RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE CONSTRAINED TO THE SOUTHEAST AND FLORIDA AS ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE COUNTRY WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES OF LOW AMPLITUDE SHOULD DRAW LITTLE...IF ANY...GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD INTO THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER...GULF MOISTURE SHOULD SNEAK INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES/THE MEXICAN PLATEAU/SOUTHEAST ARIZONA LEADING TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS /A MONSOON-LIKE REGIME/ FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE 17Z COLLABORATION CALL WITH NHC LED TO NO CHANGES WITH THE LOW MOVING INTO NORTHEAST MEXICO IN THREE DAYS. SEE THE LATEST TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR INFORMATION ON THIS ACTIVE TROPICAL WAVE/BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.
