One thing that I'm glad of is we keep seeing weaknesses in the ridge on and off throughout this summer. At least there's a little light stratoform rain falling and the sun is hidden behind clouds.

GFS looks unsettled and below normal temps for most of the first week of august

Not many more weeks left before the averages start dropping

DFW's high so far today has been 92 and though dew points are high, sitting in the shade with a slight breeze actually felt OK, for peak summer. A little rain goes a long way...heat advisories have returned for the next few days but hopefully not long lasting.

Euro Weeklies are below/above all the way into September, it's like the pattern flips this weekend and summer never recovers :double:

There are persistently lower heights along the Eastern US through most of the period with the mean ridge to our west. That keeps Texas in a favorable flow pattern resulting in numerous rain chances and lower temps.

Wouldn't it be something if like dallas is done with the 100s after this week? It seems crazy but most of this summer has been crazy

I just hope this is a sign of things to come later in the fall and the winter active and below normal temps

Now that you said that, we'll get 100 in Sept. I've learned the hard way :lol:

Both Euro and GFS runs have cooler than normal anomalies to start August.

Both the 00z Euro & EPS keep DFW below 100 for the remainder of the werk.

Flirting with upper 90s/low 100s here in Houston later this week, but I'm not betting on the 100s with the boundary we have hanging around between us and you guys in DFW. HUMIDITY on the other hand has us close to our feels like alert levels(108f) almost every day. I could handle some fall like temps and rain, not major storms, on a more regular basis. I know, I know, watch out what you ask for!! :eek: :lol:

12z models continue to look wet across much of Texas next week. Euro and Canadian are wettest, showing some pretty widespread totals of 2-4 inches.

The 12z Euro might be the single greatest run ever for the beginning of August. Basically the whole state is soaked lol

Its interesting the upper trough on the Euro along with potential Jova cruising the western MX coast. Furthest east cane in that basin so far if true. There will be a strong CCKW crossing in from the EPAC with lots of rising motion

Our usual mid-to-late summer highs just can't seem to latch on this summer. It's too much to ask for a rainy August, but hoping the up and down pattern sticks around at least!

Shows 4 1/2 inches of rain for Austin within the next 10 days, along with highs in the 80s by Aug. 5-6. I won't say that I hope it is on to something as I think the Euro is ON SOMETHING right now. LOL.

You're drunk Euro ... go home! :lol:

I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet. I'd be more confident if my rain machine was in working condition. I haven't been able to get it running lately. Gotta order some parts...

High of *only* 96F today. Heat cranks up tomorrow for the weekend. Saturday into Sunday should be interesting. Dew points will drop into the low 60s and 50s with a northeast wind. So while mid to upper 90s it will feel quite comfortable through early next week.

Yep, the rain this summer has been awesome to say the least. But I wouldn't mind a few days with heat and lower humidity. Just to balance things out. Picky picky, I know.

Temps below, precip above is fine for warmer months, not for NDJF and sometimes M.

I don't think I ever expected the Euro of all models to show highs in the mid 70s in Dallas in early August

:roflmao:

I mean... mid 70s for a LOW is pretty unusual even!

Going to Seattle next Thursday and at this rate it might be warmer there.. :lol:
