Radar loop of #Nicholas.#Nicholas made landfall at 12:30 CT in eastern parts of Matagorda,Tx with winds of 75 mph. Strong winds and gusts above 50 mph spread inland into the Houston metro. Lowest Pressure locally was of 993.8 hpa. First SETX Hurricane strike since Ike in 2008.
TD2 has formed in the Gulf.
Initial @NHC_Atlantic tracks have it in Houston by Fri.
Remember, much can still change, especially before a defined COC forms. Models & track also indicate this could run over parts of LA midweek, which would change the evolution of this.

Flash flooding underway this morning, but today is NOT the end of the concern.
Here we go again tonight -> Thursday morning. Growing confidence of another robust round of torrential rain moving into the Hill Country.
River flooding a growing concern next 36 hours #atxwx
Thunder sleet?! That’s right! A band of thunder sleet just moved through Bryan/College Station with another round on the way shortly. This is a such rare occurrence! #TXwx#BCSwx

Two days. Two shows.
Next week, we're heading to Norman on Friday and College Station on Saturday for the first round of the College Football Playoff! 🤩
