A wind gust of 252 mph was just measured above the surface in Hurricane Melissa from a dropsonde

If verified, it will be the highest wind speed ever recorded by such a meteorological device

It's not even survivable. I feel bad not only for the people but all the domestic pets too... the ones that survive are going to get displaced. In Texas, at least we can drive away from the storm.

The national weather service has just issued a warning about crocs in the water for inland populated areas...

That makes sense. We get crabs and snakes in the street when the bayou crests and comes into the neighborhood even during a light flood... very common to find when surveying damage.

Nothing major cold in the offing. It will get cooler from next Friday but only by like 14 to 9 C. Any cooler weather will relate to high pressure moving in so more in the way of night frosts which means day max temps struggle as they start from a low base.

The timing is great bc hub's fam is flying to Miami, and he is flying to meet also. So they are getting away from the Northeast in time for this... (NY and PA)

[Maru]

30s = -1~4C;
40s = 5~9C;
50s = 10~14C;
60s = 15~21C;
70s = 22~26C;
80s = 27~32C;

Friday and Saturday

These will be warmer days, especially for early November. Expect highs in the mid- to upper 80s across the region, with mostly sunny skies. With dewpoints in the 60s it will feel humid, but not super sultry like the summertime in Houston. Lows will drop into the 60s on both nights, although areas north of I-10 may see cooler temperatures later on Saturday night. That’s because I think the front will reach our northern areas on Saturday evening or night, and push off the coast by around sunrise. This looks like a dry passage, although winds should pretty rapidly shift to come from the north.

Sunday

This will be a breezy, sunny day with highs likely topping out in the lower 70s. Temperatures on Sunday night will drop into the mid-40s in Houston, with cooler conditions further inland.

Monday

We are going to see ideal cooling conditions on Monday and Monday night, with lighter winds. Expect highs to perhaps only reach the low- to mid-60s. As for Monday night, temperatures should drop into the 30s to the north of Houston, with a few areas (i.e. Trinity and Polk counties) near but not within the Houston metro area flirting with a light freeze. In Houston itself I think temperatures remain in the vicinity of 40 degrees, but this is likely to be the region’s coldest night of the season.
The rest of next week

Tuesday is likely to bring highs of around 70 degrees before we return to temperatures of around 80 degrees for the rest of the work week. As for rain chances, they’re very low, to zero, for the next 10 days.

So a fairly typical fall/winter for us...
