Still 34 degrees here at 2pm! Record low of 20 this morning. Well at least something is impressive cold wise this winter for a day

Unfortunately this is probably it. Accuweather says last cold day til next winter :spam:

House got to 62 this morning and had to use the heat probably for the last time until November. In a couple days the a/c will be cranking the other way. Texas weather!!

Euro ensemble heights and total rainfall of half an inch or less for all but NE Texas (GFS ensembles even more pessimistic on rainfall). I know an El Nino of some strength is coming but it seems to be once the ridge/drought settles in, it is hard to displace. Depends on the El Nino, not a master but check the ENSO thread on a regular basis, seems like anything from a barely Nino to Modoki to Super Nino still in the cards.

Second freeze in a row and unfortunately probably the last one until next fall/winter. Made it down to 29 this morning at my house.

The heat is on going forward. Mid 90's on the way with a few spots flirting near 100. Still think the pattern turns active as we head into April. We shall see.

Oh good, time for another extended visit from the death ridge to bake the ground and continue turning the whole state into a desert.

Yes it will be an incredibly dry period the rest of March, alongside the heat. Beyond this weekend's heat surge, there is another one behind it mid to late next week. We are very likely to end up the warmest March on record, by a margin...as if the 2nd warmest February wasn't enough. This kind of warm stretch we would be raising eyebrows in May no less March.
