5/12 - 4pm - Nice Couple of Days

The advertised clearing and warming for today came as expected and boy did it sure make a difference! Tomorrow looks like a similar situation, but temperatures will soar into the mid to upper 70's instead. Thunderstorms come in the picture on Wednesday and Thursday with a general slight chance of rain and mostly cloudy skies for the weekend.

A deadly 7.9 (according to USGS) earthquake has hit China killing thousands of people. Click here for more information. After the cyclone and the earthquake, it's been quite a troubling couple of weeks in Asia.

After rampant severe weather problems in the Eastern part of the US, it looks like more might be on the way. The SPC has issued severe weather outlooks for TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, and FL for Thursday through Saturday. We can't seem to get a break!

Only 12 days left!

5/6 - 6pm - Nice Today, Rain Tomorrow Night

One more nice day like this is in store for tomorrow before the rain begins tomorrow night. The HPC is calling for just under one inch of rain by Sunday. We'll hold in the 70's all this week and into the weekend, with the rain hopefully tapering off a little by early next week. The GFS model is showing a very wet pattern here for the next couple weeks, so say goodbye to this dry weather we've been having. Luckily there's no chance of severe weather with this next system on Thursday/Friday.

The death toll in the Myanmar cyclone has possibly surpassed 22,000 according to state run media. There are reports of numbers greater than that missing.

Only 18 days left!

5/5 - 5pm - Absolutely Beatiful Weather

It's 73 degrees with a low 28% humidity. There isn't a cloud in the sky. It can't get much better than this!

Tomorrow's forecast looks the same, except temperatures will be in the upper 70's as opposed to today's lower to mid 70's. Our next rain chance will be tomorrow night lasting into Friday. The rain will start again on Saturday and stick around for the remainder of the weekend and possibly into early next week.

Tropical Cyclone Nargis made landfall in Myanmar last Saturday with devastating damage and fatalities. Estimates of deaths are running as high as 10,000 in the ravaged country. To read more about the aftermath, click here.
