Good evening! One of the things we’re trying hard to do this year is meet more readers in ways that are comfortable for them or they find to be the most useful for getting weather information. We’ve developed an app and started a Spanish language site, spearheaded by Houston meteorologist Maria Sotolongo. With Maria’s background in television, we’re also going to try to provide some more video content when possible. As we head into Labor Day weekend, we wanted to provide you with a quick video update on the outlook for the weekend, the latest on the Gulf tropical mischief next week, and musings about our first fall front.
We certainly aren’t going to pivot away from what we do each day on both the English and Spanish language sites, which is post our morning updates and more frequent updates when it counts. That’s our bread and butter and we know it. And we definitely won’t constantly bombard you with notifications. But we are efforting to reach Houston-area folks in more ways and meet you where you are, so we will experiment with some videos like this from time to time. Please feel free to share your feedback with us in the comments or the feedback link above. I will say that it is great to have Maria here with us, and she’s been full of great ideas to continue serving you!
Just as a quick note: There was nothing earth-shattering about today’s model guidance regarding next week’s potential tropical system in the Gulf. We’re still in wait and see mode, and there is nothing too alarming at this point. But it’s September, so we’ll be watching. Look for a post probably Sunday with the latest. Meanwhile, enjoy the holiday weekend if you are able!
I had trouble viewing this in the app. I don’t know if it’s my phone settings or the formatting in the app. Hopefully this helps.
I also had trouble in the Android app: The video says “An error occurred” and suggests viewing on YouTube. I also can’t scroll past the video to the rest of the text in the post.
No trouble viewing via the app on my IPad. Good presentation and fomat.
Depend on your up to date weather information ever since the Feb freeze. I had no power for 3 days. Your indepth reports helped me stay informed. Thank you.
I rely entirely on your posts. They are to the point without the drama of the networks. Please don’t change that. Your strength is your factuality, and lack of dramatization.
Well done!
Me too! Could not have said it any better!
Thanks for all that you do!!!
Love the video!
I can watch it here in Facebook, buy was not able to watch it in the app. Just a heads up. Thanks for all you do! ♥️
Great stuff. Thanks guys.
Video well done! I like that “touch”…will look forward to more…
We move from Katy to Richmond on Tuesday September 7th so I pray that moisture in the southern Gulf of Mexico behaves!
Look forward to seeing more on YouTube. Love yr down to earth perspective. You guys are for real.
Pretty cool. Gracias!
Appreciate everything you are doing.
Love the personal touch of the video. No problems viewing it via the iPhone app or link via email. Always appreciate y’all!
Great video and able to view it perfectly on my iPhone. Thanks for all you do!
Could not watch yhe video in the app on my abdroid phone.
I found you during early 2020 and have loved my daily updates about Houston weather. You are now providing news to family in CA. and other parts of Texas! Thank you SO MUCH!
The video is well done and a good way to connect with much of the audience, but please don’t forget that many people prefer to read. There are times when watching a video with sound is not possible, and it is more expedient to skim the text to find the info needed. If you continue to use video, please also include the information in text for us “old school” folks. Thanks!
Excelente el vídeo! I had to watch it on your website because it was not showing up on the app (Android). Thanks for the great information! You are my first visit every morning.
I loved the video update.
