Texas Summer 2017

[gpsnowman]

Really hope you folks down south of DFW get some rain soon. Didn't see any rain in Irving this afternoon but some areas got wet. A bit of good news is the averages started dropping today. Instead of a 97 degree average high it has dropped to 96. All downhill from here until January!!!!

83F right now at DFW airport after a high today of 93F which is another day below normal.

KAUS hit 100 yet again.

Reminder that we will soon move to the Fall thread for discussion come September 1st which is a little less than 2 weeks away.

The averages are dropping! We made it guys!

You North Texas folks are a hoot ... talking about "fall" and average temperatures dropping and all that.

Down here in South Central Texas it's the Endless Summer! Today was the 38th day this year of 100 degrees or higher.

GFS actually has Harvey this run and while it goes inland near where Franklin did it has a lot of rain in Texas from a stalled front at the same time

Where, or when rather, have we seen that before

Wow, the first decent run of the GFS for my area in a while. Has us getting 2 to 3 inches. I'll gladly take it. Also slows down Harvey quite a bit in the BOC. GFS trending farther north once again with it.

Yeah regardless of what Harvey does, if at all, pretty good idea that a cooler air mass could impact us promoting rains with fronts and boundaries.

I believe Hurricane Alex of 2010 may be a good analog for Harvey as of now.

If Harvey is strong enough I wonder if it could change the pattern and get rid of summer entirely? lol

Sure seems like at the least there's gonna be a front coming down whether Harvey plays a role in anything or not

Spring thread was 70+ pages, Summer is closing in!

might top it if Harvey becomes a real threat 1405 posts is the number to beat

116 posts/12 days=that's only 10 posts a day, piece of cake lol

GFS has continued its trend north with Harvey. Inching closer to south TX now.

Trying to get to the border at 168 hours

Just south of Brownsville at 174 hours 1001 mb

Pretty weak and sheared but its moisture lol

Yep, moisture that we'll gladly take. Looks like even south central TX may get some rains.

CMC is a hurricane into Brownsville

UKMET also shifted north

CMC is a hurricane into Brownsville

I wonder what the UKMET has? I have no clue how to get information on that model, but from what I've heard it's a decent model for the tropics.

It's still in the Gulf at the end of the run but its definitely on the northerly route and probably close to a cane

What did it show in its last run?
