88/74/11???????/0.39 is what climo has. Weird that it would come in lower than a top of the hour observation which had 12 knots lol

 

I'm wondering if it's a rounding thing. 13.3 or 13.4 mph would be 11.5-11.6 kts, which would round to 12kts in the METAR. But then it would go into the climate report as 13mph => 11kts.

89/75/11/0.10 tomorrow.

 

Time for me to go big or go home.

 

Gah these lows are killing me. I don't understand why their dewpoints are dropping so much at night. They've had plenty of rain and dewpoints off the coast are consistently 74-75. They're not advecting in lower dewpoints. And this didn't happen last week at all. What's going on here?

Barely inside the national consensus........next.

 

Why is the windspeed for day 3 15 kts?  

 

Shouldn't it be 11?

 

I see 11 kts.

 

Which is annoying, beacuse it was 12 kts before the climo report came out.  I've never seen the wind go down between the ASOS data and the climo report.

80/59/10/0.00 for tomorrow. The NWS, GFS MOS and NAM MET guidance are all in the low to mid 80s. None of the raw guidance I looked at hits 80 except for the 4km NAM which hits 80 in KHOU Monday. With 850mb temps around +12C and neutral or weak cold air advection could be close. I was uncertain going below 60 for lows given that KHOU appears to be close enough to downtown Houston and the water to hold up lows. Again though most guidance was somewhere in the 50's and have never paid close attention to radiational cooling in Houston before and didn't want to deviate too far from guidance. Added a bit on to the wind over most guidance which has generally worked.

we were supposed to submit for tomorrow?

To decouple tonight or to not decouple? That is the question.

Other parameters look very similar to last night...PWATs, wind speed, and temperatures aloft are comparable.

 

Hate to say it, but the USL has been dead on lately even today with a change in airmass...tough to deviate too far from it at least for the high and probably the low. But, if they do decouple, it could be mid 50s...if not then low 60s. Nothing is ever easy haha
