Ya know, the EPS weeklie control shows NO RAIN THRU EARLY SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!


AHHHHH! LOL. K . return to regular programming

How laughable. I knew models had biases, but that just takes the cake.

Makes sense out west for that rainless bubble since that's climo for them, but I have doubts of that verifying in Texas. That said, this pattern is giving me flashbacks/nightmares of 2011. I know not the same, but I had no idea when that pattern would ever end!

2011 also featured that same pattern with the unusually deep Eastern US trough forcing a stagnant ridge over Texas. Same thing in 1917, 1928, and pretty much all other drought years.

Saw this sunrise on my way into work this morning. Had to snap a photo of the Sahara-filtered Sun while I had the chance.

I hope this does not verify . if it does the drought situation is going to get into the extreme level again for most of the state. I guess our one saving grace would be a tropical system but with all this dust that is far fetched.

Will the moisture in the N. central GOM move west or east? Hoping for some chance of heat relief. I'd take the clouds if that's all it has to offer.

Let it be known that our true enemy is the westerly jet stream and its associated upper level lows. The ridge actually wants to leave Texas, but it can't do so until the jet stream stops diving so deep. The jet stream needs to either pack it up and stick with Canada...or at least dive over Texas for a change.

And as I alluded to earlier, the oddest part is that alot of the time, the actual strong heights aren't even over Texas, but rather a bit more to the west (say, New Mexico). Yet even then, it will be Texas drying out, while areas New Mexico still gets forecasted with rain. So it must not be the ridge drying things out inasmuch as it is the associated downstream subsidence coming from the north. Which makes sense, seeing that eastern sides of highs tend to be more subsident, responsible for making Med climates have dry summers compared to humid subtropical climates.

EIther that, or the models are just biased.

It's hard to get into Texas summer wx lol

However, there are signs that the ridge will breakdown rather quickly and return moisture to parts of Texas in the 7 to 10 day range. I know of at least one poster that has to be intrigued by the SOI.

The DFW meteograms do look better after early next week... actually below 100. But 110 is definitely possible in areas this weekend.

Record highs 105, 107, 106, 105 Friday-Monday

[weatherdude1108]

GFS is starting to show signs of hope starting in about 10 days on this run.

Official 3:00 PM temp at Wichita Falls - 106.

We picked a good week to go to Colorado Springs. Right now it’s mostly cloudy with rain in the area. Temp has cooled to 75 with a nice breeze. More hiking this evening.

104 at DFW but the record looks safe for today.

I'm going to San Francisco Friday and it's 63 there right now... I don't even know the last time Dallas was 63...

*san francisco city*

travel down 10-15 miles S to san Jose or E to Oakland / Fremont area and it is in the 90s...

105 at Dallas Love Field with 23% humidity. It's hot but I'll take this over mid 90's with 70% humidity. Phoenix AZ is currently 102 with 26% humidity. A dry heat you don't sweat nearly as much walking outside.

I sweat like crazy walking from the office to the car in this heat

Lows in the 80s for you all. Could be worse, lows in the 90s like Phoenix.
