Finally! Much needed there. Still running a rainfall deficit for the year.

Yeah, my brother in SA texted last night that they got 0.89" on the north side, headed right towards Medina Lake! I'm extremely jealous too.

Do not taunt the death ridge, bad things will happen!

In regards to Ntx post, the MJO will be favorable for more storms in the beg of Oct as well. Combo this will troughs passing through and we should see some rain for the majority of the state.

If you believe 300 hours out ......

Man, I've just consistently been getting sick over the last couple of months here. Maybe it's something in the air here in Louisiana I'm currently recovering from the flu. I hope everyone is doing all right with all the rain east and southeast Texas has been getting.

I would hedge bets on ragweed. August and September is peak ragweed season, many confuse it for cold and sinus. Quite prevalent in the southeast US where summer rains keeps it lush and green for late summer/early fall pollination!

It's always lush and green in Louisiana, if you're allergic to anything that grows, it's tough.

My allergies haven't actually been too bad here, not like what they were like in Texas lol. It was always interesting going from having nearly no allergies in Ohio to nearly as soon as I entered Texas on a plane I'd start sneezing.

Picked up 0.79” this afternoon, which by radar, it appears more on the way.

Is I69/US59 over the west fork of the San Jacinto north of Humble open? I've got a friend who needs to travel to MD Anderson Sunday and hard to tell if it is the feeder roads beneath the highway closed or if it is the highway itself.

It’s getting to be really bad at this point. I am betting we will have mid-80s on Halloween.

I only looked at GFS, but little hope of rain or any relief.

I’m with ya brotha. I’m here with the bourbon and all day football.

This is my first glance back here in quite a while. Every NWS AFD I skip to end of Long Term to get any sign of fall. I’m dying here. It’s gotta be here soon, the climate has no choice. It just seems to be taking forever for the first taste.

So I’ll go back to the bourbon and football knowing fall has no choice but to arrive somewhat soon.

September update for NTX

Sept 1st thru the 21st = 2nd hottest on record so far
The average normal high for this period is 86.3
The average high this month 95.6
20 of 21 days so far with a high of 90 or better

September 1939 hottest on record with 28 of 30 days @ 90+ degrees, which is also record most for September.

Our forecast for the next 10 days call for a high of 90 or better, so we could break 2 records, hottest, and most 90+ days.
On a bright note, Winter 1939/1940 was slightly cooler than average.

If this Fall is a repeat of 2012/13, then yes you will be tricker-treating in shorts and a t-shirt. It was 83 on Halloween 2012

DFW had a White Christmas in 2012 though

*looks at the Euro* is this the year summer never ends?

Unfortunately this tropical ridge is going to be a PITA until the Atlantic hurricane season comes to an end.

Right now our priority is rain!! and with rain comes cooler temperatures.

December 25th had a strong cold front push in, DFW recorded 1.33" of rain before it changed over to snow, 0.4" recorded. December 26 was the coldest day of the month with a high of 32, and we finished December with highs in the 40's.

December still ended a very warm +4 degrees above the monthly mean, and the average high for the month was 62....

I wish the president would hurry up with that Greenland purchase, because I'm ready to move there.

Hurricane season still very much open for Texas. All eyes from me on the tropics over the next week.
