Soggy Saturday in Houston
It has been an active January in Houston! We broke records during our freeze, and last week we had over a foot of rainfall in some spots. Keeping on track with our active month, we are already tracking our next chance for heavy rainfall. Right now, there is a low flood threat for Southeast Texas, which includes Houston. All flood warnings are set to expire Wednesday, but weโll need to monitor how this next round affects our northern rivers and bayous.

Can you stand another supermoon?! This month is our last for the year and shows up August 11 at 8:36pm! If the skies are clear, Iโd expect a pretty fabulous moonrise in the east, opposite the setting sun.

So we can go with the other name: the Full Sturgeon moon--one of the ugliest fish Iโve ever seen but August is peak season for catching them in the Great Lakes.

Its opposite, El Nino, is warmer than normal Pacific water which creates those upper level winds and those winds can shear apart developing tropical systems. So El Nino is El Amigo in that regard! La Nina not so much.
