Texas Summer 2022

[captainbarbossa19]

Some nasty heat in the forecast for Oklahoma/KS (Texas isn't cool either). This is not a 10 day forecast but within 5 days for them, jeesh.

Some all time records in play for the I-40 corridor.

Thankfully every day we get closer to autumn. Maybe this year we will get an early start.

It’s happening in Pearland people are dancing in the streets!

I would normally, and anecdotally, point to the leaves dropping. But this year, that's just the scorching flames of hell.

Yeah this is looking ugly, the weather app has a high of 110°F for next Tuesday.

Geez, my hometown in KS is right below on of those 116 marks. Yikes. I do not recall it ever being anything like that growing up. A few days in the worst of 108 or so. It can get just as hot as here, just not normally as long.

I'm seeing a lot of storms in southern Texas right now, look at the radar!

Even though that I strongly wish it was here though.

Euro is downright ugly up there. 850mb temps are top tier. Doesn't help being right below the center of the heat dome and being more interior of the continent. You're right KS can get some short but impressive heat spikes.

Wish we could share them,but it’s a beautiful thing here this afternoon

Rain has been all around me all week long but we’ve missed out on most of it. Did manage to pick up .45” though but a lot of other places have had WAY more than that.

I guess we're gonna pay not just for the rain in May but the 2 day snowstorm in February

At least everyday is a day closer to fall

[utpmg]

Well crap. I was enjoying the cool yesterday even though no rain here in east Austin; just cool and thunder. Then found out my dear friends' country market in Hico was heavily damaged by straight line winds in that thunderstorm outburst. Never a middle ground, it seems.

Other than the 3 or so minutes of rain a few days ago, NOTHING. I watch the cells pop up all around me, headed my way, then POOF. I have never seen anything like this to be honest. It's frustrating to say the least.

>30C in some places at 850mb.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Friday)
Issued at 232 PM CDT Fri Jul 15 2022

Excessive heat the middle part of next week and a lack of
meaningful rainfall through the next seven days continues to be
the main story in the long range. Thickness values associated
with an expanding ridge and building heat dome are expected to
continue to increase with time along with 850 mb temperatures
approaching 30C by next Tuesday. This will likely result in
widespread afternoon temperatures in the 105-110 degree range on
Tuesday with global ensembles suggesting a near 30 percent chance
of temperatures exceeding 110 across portions of northeast
Oklahoma. The only feature to keep us from a steady climb each day
toward those values is a shortwave trough which digs toward the
middle Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys late in the weekend.
Guidance continues to suggest enough forcing and pooling of
moisture with the associated boundary to maintain slight chance
PoPs Sunday into Sunday evening those coverage looks to remain
isolated underneath the influence of the ridge. Cloud cover
associated with the approaching wave may enhance cloud cover and
help keep overnight temps from falling too much adding to the
building heat stress. With very dry soil conditions and a
potentially very warm start to the day have kept temperature
forecasts Sunday near those on Saturday. The combination of hot
temperatures and humidity require a Heat Advisory for much of
eastern Oklahoma and the River Valley in western Arkansas on
Saturday. Additional heat headlines including Excessive Heat
Warnings will likely be needed in the coming week as air
temperatures alone exceed criteria.

Just for the record our all time high is 115 from 1936. Even 2011 2012 and 1980 didn't beat it

Yeah. I am thinking top 5 hottest, but probably not a new record. Even in the short-range, models have been too aggressive on temperatures. I am thinking likely highs peaking around 110, but probably not 115+. A record that far back is not likely to break and 1936 was really unique because it was at the peak of the Dust Bowl. This year is dry, but it's not 1936 dry.

It is a few thousand feet above. Outside of the high elevations if it's going to be 110+, having 850mb above 30C is usually a good indicator.

Yeah I don't see it verifying either and that's why... 1936 was such an unusual time. But it'll still be by far the worst heat here since 2011/2012

That doesn't make it feel much better . At the beginning of the month I didn't think DFW would come close to 1980's July 92F average record but here we are almost 91F.
