That was a true El Nino winter, very warm across the northern tier of the US lacking snow and ice while the southern states experience many winter storms and cold.
Meanwhile DFW has yet to officially hit 100

I'm not sure how to dig up information from the NWS for Austin or Houston in 1972-1973, but that season for DFW was slightly colder than normal and above average snowfall. December had 1.4 inches and January had 2.3 inches. The low for the winter was 8F occuring on January 12th which was the lowest temperature of the 1970s here.

Just saw this on the news. Texas is officially drought-free for the first time since April 2010. Pretty cool!

We need a ticker for the days counting down to September 25th...
It is 71 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 2 months, 9 days excluding the end date
Alternative time units
71 days can be converted to one of these units:◾6,134,400 seconds
◾102,240 minutes
◾1704 hours
◾71 days
◾10 weeks and 1 day

A little light to look forward to. Models are shifting the ridge northward which would put Texas under easterly flow. That would at least increase afternoon thunderstorm chances and lower the temperatures some, though with higher humidity. However that is still at least 5-7 days away.

All we need is a tropical system to form in the Gulf during that easterly flow.

DFW just missed 100 again today at 99. Still holding out for the first 100 of the season.
But really 99 or 100 too hot...

Re: Texas Summer-2015
One more week of above normal temperatures for the southern plains. The rest of the summer will be average to a little below average.
I am not a meteorologist, but I have seen Bigfoot.

I can see some light at the end of this HIGH misery hopefully!
A cold front associated with the trough is forecast to push south into Texas sometime next Friday or Saturday, kicking off some scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. The front is forecast to reach South Texas. Temperatures next weekend are shaping up to be slightly lower. This western ridge/eastern trough pattern is fairly typical summertime El Nino pattern.
Stay tuned for more details on possible weather changes for late next week and the beginning of August.
