The National Hurricane's discussion keeps referring to "barrier jet" off the Sierra Madres. I have no idea what that is? Did the same cold front get stuck in the mountains?
Anyway last night, I went walking and had to come because I was too cold. It was 67 degrees. 
Our dewpoint was only 49 around 5 pm yesterday. It felt like winter.
Unless this dry air got "stuck in the Sierra Madres", it's going to push that storm to the east. The weather here is not conducive. When our cold fronts are this strong, they do impact the Gulf. (Unless the cold front got stuck in some weird "barrier jet", whatever that is).
I also noticed Houston was affected by the cold front, but not as strongly as here.
