Oh, this month is contradicting folklore big time. March came in like a lamb. The first couple of days were sunny and slightly warmer than normal. To complete the flip the month is going to go out like a lion. A cold, wet lion. With snow. Before the king of the beasts arrives, though, we've got a very lamb-like day in store. The enormous high pressure system, which at one point covered nearly the entire continent east of the Rockies, is finally succumbing to an upper-level trough that's moving across the country. Look for the temperature to top out around 50 degrees today under mostly sunny skies. more ›

In 1900 the barrier island city Galveston was the shiny, growing metropolis of the Texas coast. Houston was a swampy backwater. On September 8th of that year a hurricane struck Galveston, killing over 6000 people in the city (10,000 - 12,000 overall) and destroying 3600 buildings. In the rebuilding process the city of Galveston was raised several feet and a seawall was erected to protect the city. more ›

Nothing like a sunny Monday to start off the week. Especially when it is likely to be cloudy and wetter tomorrow and Wednesday. Clouds will roll in during the day tomorrow. Rain may begin as early as the afternoon but is most likely Tuesday night. Highs tomorrow and Wednesday should be in the mid-40s. The winds will pick up along with the rain as this is a fairly big storm approaching from the Midwest. The cold front trailing the storm is expected to clear all the moisture out of here by Wednesday afternoon. The storm is odd in that there's not much cold air behind it. Thursday's weather will be much like today's. Another storm passage, albeit a weak one, is expected Thursday night or Friday. more ›
