We had mostly 50s for lows in Travis County outside the central urban core of Austin. Wonderful! :D

90s still showing up in the extended forecast, well into October. This is getting unbearably old.

Exactly!! We’ll probably see some rain chances over the next few months on occasion but probably nothing widespread till spring.

Mine bottomed out at 61, and I'm a lower spot. Sensor is also underneath an eave of the roof, which may prevented it from reading 50s. Definitely felt more coolish! :)

Had 40s outside the city this morning :cold:

Of course we can't seem to get rid of highs near 90 either due to the super dry air

Ian reminds us why we don't want rain in that form. Still we do need rain.

Beautiful weather stretch for most of us (in the sense temps are comfortable-warm) with generally low dewpoints. There are at least subtle signs from ensembles in the very long range of heights rising over the Pacific Northwest and Canada that may allow us to cool off.

I’ve never really experienced hurricane conditions and I only live one hour from the Gulf. Hurricane Claudette in 2003 was the closest call I’ve ever had and that wasn’t too bad here. Harvey was just all rain here with not much wind (maybe 40-50mph tops). I know eventually my luck is bound to run out though.

You're right the Middle to Upper TX coast is woefully unprepared for a storm like Ian, Ida, or Laura. Harvey was pretty bad for Rockport but it's windfield was quite small and it was an area with relatively low population. We haven't had a true wind storm since Carla imo. Ike was a glancing blow that would have been a lot worse if it made landfall between Freeport and the west end of Galveston like it was supposed to.

Yep, I agree. It’s just hard for a storm to get this far west without some trough picking it up.

I saw a couple far weakened hurricanes 3-4 hours inland in Alabama when I was younger and that was enough for me(several others had squalls or spinup tornadoes like Katrina). Nothing fun about them believe me. The night Opal came through moving at 35 mph is still one of the worst weather events I've ever seen and that was 27 years ago. I can still remember walking over powerlines when the sun came up. Don't care to ever see that again

It has to be a homegrown system like Harvey, Carla, or Alicia. It is possible for long trackers to get this far but those are few and far between. The long trackers need to stay weak for a longtime like the 1900 Galveston Hurricane or have an abnormally strong ridge which was the case for Ike.

Tropical depression 16E may recurve and strike Mexico, but the models seem unimpressed by our chances of getting any rain out of the deal.

This stretch of dry conditions may even be worse than the summer. At least in the summer there is usually at least some hope for a random pop-up storm/shower. Zero, nada, zilch in the forecast for a huge area for the next 7+ days.

But yes, at least I am enjoying the temperatures, finally.

It is worse than summer in certain ways because we are in climo wet months. You kind of expect it in summer if it happens. But really it is never good any month. Wet seasons is when lakes and rivers replenish.

And sometimes, the weather will throw a curveball too. :)

In his fall forecast webinar, NWS Austin/San Antonio meteorologist Keith White talked about a growing concern later this fall for fire weather. With Nina in control, warm and dry likely rules the day(s). As Ntxw pointed out ... having that kind of weather during our secondary "wet" season is troubling.

Recent mornings have been in upper 40s in NE TX with 50s in town. Tonight looks a touch chillier with some spots likely reaching the mid 40s. Already in upper 40s in rural areas.

The beginning of October does not look promising at all, even though my Local TV met said that a pattern change may happen next weekend.
