This is a heavy storm alert for those of you who reside in and near Onalaska and Lake Livingston. These southbound moving thunderstorms will bring torrential downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. #etxwx

Pink and orange-hued skies at sundown make for a nice way to end the day after summer thunderstorms rolled through this afternoon. #etxwx

It was a case of feast or famine today with our summer thunderstorms throughout the Piney Woods. #etxwx

There is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning out for this storm located between Henderson and Mount Enterprise. It is moving to the SW at 20 to 30 mph. Threats: 60 mph winds and quarter size hail. Locations: Reklaw, Laneville, Sacul, Cushing, Trawick, and Central Heights.

USGS reported a 3.0 earthquake near the Louisiana-Texas border on Thursday. See more: shorturl.at/riPFL?utm_sour…

Did anyone in eastern Shelby county feel the earthquake today? The epicenter of the 3.0 earthquake was between Shelbyville and Huxley just before 12 noon today.

Rain chances will be highest along the Highway 190 corridor from Livingston to Jasper on Friday. Those of you north of Highway 7 may end up staying completely dry. #etxwx

A third earthquake occurred in southeast Shelby county on Thursday night just east of State Highway 87, near the Patroon and Dreka communities. This marks the third earthquake to occur within a small radius of Shelby county on Thursday. #earthquake

Heavy, drenching thunderstorms encompass many areas from Livingston to Jasper along the Highway 190 corridor. There is an Areal Flood Advisory out for the Onalaska and Lake Livingston areas through 4:30 p.m. Use caution if travels take you down Highway 59. #etxwx

You can put away the rain gear for this weekend as we dry out and start to heat up. Thankfully, the humidity will be tolerable, which will temper our heat index and keep us from heat advisory criteria. Have a great weekend! #etxwx

It will be turning cooler and wetter than normal around these parts next week as we lead into week one of high school football in the Red Zone and Labor Day weekend. #etxwx

It was on this date 8 years ago (August 25, 2017) when Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas, as a major, category four hurricane. Weak steering currents kept him around for several days, leading to major flooding in Houston.

Our rain chances will remain on the low-end this week before they ramp up to 60% on Friday and Saturday when a second and stronger cold front advances through east Texas. You may want to pack the rain ponchos for week 1 of high school football in the Red Zone on Friday night.

One telling sign that fall is around the corner and football season is here is the later sunrises and earlier sunsets as we are losing about 90 seconds of daylight with each passing day. Now we just need the cool breezes and fall cold fronts to follow suit.

We are cautiously optimistic that the Friday afternoon storms will be pushing south of the Trinity River by the time most of our high school football games kickoff in the 7 p.m. hour. Still could be some weather delays if lightning lingers near game sites. #etxwx The Red Zone

Have you ever wondered where our forecasters studied meteorology? For #CollegeColorsDay, we wanted to join in on the fun and share our school spirit! Aspiring future meteorologists may visit weather.gov/students for info about internships and careers in the NWS!

Our sun angle this month rivals what we see in the month of March. Both March and September represent the two equinoxes we see during the year in our orbit around the sun.

It will be a warm, humid, but dry Friday night for week two of high school football in the The Red Zone. #etxwx

It will be a cloudy and damp weekend with a few pockets of rain passing through our east Texas landscape along and behind a cold front. The cold front will combine with the cloud cover to drop our temperatures a few notches. #etxwx

Tonight will be our coolest night in nearly four months as we are forecasting overnight lows to dip down into the 50's for most locales across the Texas Forest Country. The clear skies and dry air will make for a cool and pleasant night across the Piney Woods. #etxwx
