Having some fairly heavy rainfall, and it looks like it my train over my area this afternoon.

THE LAST COUPLE RUNS OF THE HRRR AND THE OVERNIGHT CAM GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THIS WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO
CENTRAL/NORTHERN LA THROUGH EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON...AND SO THE
STRONGEST CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST TX INITIALLY
AND THEN BEGIN TO FOCUS MORE INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL LA WITH TIME AS
GREATER MOISTURE AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY TRANSPORT OCCURS HERE IN
PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT.
ALREADY LOCAL RADARS AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ARE INDICATING
RAINFALL RATES OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES/HR...AND WITH SOME PERIODIC
REPEATING/TRAINING NATURE OF THE ACTIVITY THERE WILL BE SOME
ADDITIONAL TOTALS THAT COULD REACH UP INTO THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE
WITH ISOLATED HEAVIER AMOUNTS THROUGH MIDDAY AFTERNOON. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
SOIL CONDITIONS ARE RATHER MOIST OVERALL AND SO THE ADDITIONAL
RAINS TODAY WILL INCREASE THE CONCERN FOR RUNOFF PROBLEMS AND
PERHAPS SOME AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING WHERE STRONGER CONVECTIVE
CORES FOCUS AND THEN PERHAPS REPEAT OVER THE SAME AREA.
Yesterday it was 75 and humid in Austin and the sun busted out. Today is raining and in the 50's.
Oddly enough the pattern is different than it's been. Clear and mid 60's in Dallas with dry weather behind the front but rainy and 50's in Houston where the front is stalled out. 70's and humid on the southeast part of the front in New Orleans.
Minor changes in where the front is brings about changes in the type of weather mass dominating, whether humid and warm, cold & rainy, or mild and dry.
This pattern looks to improve as a more zonal flow develops, fortunately.
With Meteorological winter just about over, I am just about ready to call this winter a major disappointment when it comes to snow, data through yesterday showed a snow total for this winter season at a measly 9 inches officially at Indianapolis international airport, that is less than half the normal seasonal snowfall of 25.9 inches, it looks like this winter at least in Indianapolis was a front to at best a mid loaded winter season especially given how mild this February has been, so barring a major snowstorm in March, this cold season looks to be the third consecutive lackluster snowfall season in a row for Indianapolis(Indianapolis hasn’t had an average or above average snowfall season since the winter of 2014-2015).
2nd wettest February for Bridgeport. Interesting to see Pittsburgh up there. Not surprised though.
Meteo winter almost over!
Check this out... Seattle hasn't been above normal during the day for 16 days straight now.
meanwhile.. Tampa been in the 80s for 20 days straight. Reminder that it's February.
Currently here in Aurora, ME 30F Degrees, Dew Point 30F Debrees, Winds East 8mph, accumulation of around an inch, spitting a bit of snow right now.
Purchased hope today in the form of flower seeds..Forget-Me-Nots, Candytuft, and of course the Giant, Violet Queen Zinnas. I gaze upon these packages and long for the time to plant them indoors...I've been searching for the potted Blue Hyacinths in the store, to bring home and place in my windowsills (and later plant them in the ground)! Their fragance is nostalgic and heady and their color soothes my soul.
Another long (had our first, three-day), weekend almost over...
Reluctantly, I pull the drapes close, finish my Hot Toddy and bid you a goodnight!
