Lufkin and Nacogdoches Under Tornado Watch Until 10 Tonight

Rick St. Nick — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:34:30 +0000

Right now, the skies above Lufkin and Nacogdoches appear friendly enough, but Doppler Radar indicates a line of storms heading our way, with rain expected to begin somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 P.M. And because of the this volatility, The National Weather Service has recently issued a “Tornado Watch” for our area until 10 [...]

Storms Are the Story on Thursday

Jen Austin — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:45:31 +0000

The same storm that is dumping huge amounts of snow in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma today will bring the chance of violent weather to East Texas. Gusty winds, hail, and even isolated tornadoes are possible in East Texas and Louisiana. There are two different bands of storms expected, so when one passes through, know that [...]

Lufkin and Nacogdoches Rain Pours Earlier Than Predicted

Rick St. Nick — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:36:26 +0000

If your “to-do” list today (Wednesday, February 6) features wash truck, you may want to cancel that appointment, because the National Weather Service has issued a rain event until approximately 2 a.m. tomorrow morning (Thursday, February 7). Thankfully, there are no severe thunderstorms in the forecast (that’s tentatively scheduled for Sunday). Meanwhile, have your umbrella [...]

With an 80 Degree Day Today, What's Next?

Jen Austin — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:07:46 +0000

The warm weather the past couple of days may be giving you spring fever, but you’ll have to contain yourself for a little while. Today’s 80 degree high is not a sign that spring us already upon us, it’s simply a sign that there will be thunderstorms because cooler weather is right behind it. The [...]

Bad Weather in Lufkin and Nacogdoches Makes TxDOT Work Overtime

Rick St. Nick — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 06:07:34 +0000

Let’s give a healthy shout out to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) who was out in force during the “big chill day” of 2013. January 15 was a brutally cold day here in East Texas, and with freezing rain and sleet making travel treacherous, it was refreshing to see Public Works in action. TxDOT [...]

Crockett and Houston Get Tornadoes on Christmas Day

Rick St. Nick — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:13:27 +0000

Being a pure bred classic rocker, I decided to go non-traditional Christmas morning, and plop “A Very Brady Christmas” into the VCR. Yes – you read accurately – “A Very Brady Christmas” and VCR in the same sentence! That element of fun was rudely interrupted at around 9:30 in the morning, when before I could [...]

Weather Changes Are on the Way

Jen Austin — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:00:28 +0000

Today will be a warm day, but don't expect it to last.

If you're the type that crawls out of bed in the morning and walks out to the driveway to pick up the newspaper in your pj's, you'll get a blast of cold air on Friday morning. You might want to grab a blankey!

A few cool fronts have passed through East Texas this fall, but this Canadian front that's on its way today will be the strongest yet. How cold will it get?

It Might Feel Like Fall Weather This Weekend

Jen Austin — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:38:35 +0000

The first week of September has been HOT. Summer, leave us alone already! Don’t you know it’s after Labor Day? But relief is on the way. It will be a warm night for high school football Friday, but by Saturday morning there will be a little nip in the air that will make it feel [...]

Lufkin Will Not Be Evacuee Shelter for Hurricane Issac

Rick St. Nick — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:12:59 +0000

At press time, Hurricane Isaac is stalled over New Orleans moving at a paltry six miles per hour, and while East Texas should get a pretty good soaking tomorrow (August 30), Lufkin is not expected to shelter evacuees. That’s the decision thus far from the state of Texas, but if rainfall amounts are expected to grossly [...]

If there is one thing I can always promise you, it’s that I’ll always give you a weather update without any spaz-outs or hissy-fits. I’ve always said that Los Angeles is not on the top of my list of places I would like to live, and it’s because of the people. Here’s an example of [...]

Irene Stinks! Watch News Correspondent Get Covered in Raw Sewage [VIDEO]

Shauna Wright — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:39:03 +0000

Whenever natural disasters strike, news stations often send out a few poor saps to report from the scene. With Hurricane Irene, we typically saw wind-whipped, rain-soaked correspondents in various locations talking about the storm’s fury.

But if there’s an award for Most Deserving of Hazard Pay, it has to go to Washington, DC Fox affiliate WTTG’s Tucker Barnes.
