Texas Summer 2020

[Portastorm]

Hottest days are definitely behind us now. WPC highlights anywhere from 3-6" of rain the next week for the Red River valley and towards I-20 corridor. Successful fronts, slow moving boundaries will aid.

Fall here we come!

Please share with your neighbors to the south who are still dry and baking!

I think this morning may have been the worst, most oppressive morning all summer. I don't think we got below 80 degrees with dew points in the mid 70s. It felt "thick" outside at 7 am. Just nasty. August and the first half of September are my least favorite periods in Texas weather.

I guess we have to pin our hopes on a model cold front nine days from now.

OMG, it was AWFUL out this morning! It did not get below 80 degrees at my house. That has happened maybe one or two times in the 15 years I have lived here. The humidity was 82 percent! I felt like I was swimming. I may as well have been in Houston!lol Fall and cooler rainstorms can't get here soon enough!

Long range continues to suggest the eastern half of the nation will be under a carved trough, meaning consistent opportunities for fronts and cool air being really close by.

Analogs (take them lightly) especially ones that are cold neutral-nina do foreshadow some early shots of cold air through December. We currently have some -EPO to benefit us in the short term. More in the Fall thread after today.

Last day to post in the summer thread. Hasta la vista!

Hey Summer... kiss my ass, you insufferable old waste of weather.

August ended with a hellish bang but fall is coming and I can not wait. The best time of the year weather wise is approaching so we will continue to track the early September rain and fronts in the Fall thread. I am a little giddy, I can't help myself.

If this is true say bye bye to tc’s threatening the U.S.

We’ll have nothing but fish storms.

good riddance summer!!

Hey Summer... kiss my ass, you insufferable old waste of weather.

All things being equal, this summer wasn't so bad.

[cstrunk]

I've been in Texas for 10 summers now, and I agree with some others that it wasn't that bad. We've had quite a bit of rain, and except for the last few weeks (before Laura), it was pretty consistent. Of course, YMMV in your backyard. You can't escape the heat in Texas, but at least we didn't have weeks and weeks of 100F+ weather.

Speaking of timely rain, the storms late Saturday night made it to my house in Longview (just barely). It looked like an absolute deluge on radar heading my way but as soon as it got here it began falling apart. I still got about 0.45" though so I'll call it a win!

I'm right on the edge again the next few days for some potentially significant rain. We'll see if storms can make it this far east.

I think Ivan and Wilma might have something to say about that.

Or Sandy, a negatively tilted trough parked over the Ohio and Tennessee valley would reel in a storm instead of deflecting it.

Speak for yourself. It was a terrible summer here in southwest Texas, and it's still ongoing.

[Brent]

The only thing about this summer was how the humidity never stopped we never once had a dry heat here it seemed

That being said between all the rain we had and the below average 100 temps it wasnt that bad I agree of course I'm always ready for it to end regardless lol

I'm awaiting all this rain now and eventually the cooler temperatures

[utpmg]

Not totally agreeing on the "not that bad" assessment.
