Holy Crap!! I just looked at the radar!! I am going out front to direct it where to go!!

But of course I just looked at it, and its falling apart... BOO!!! :cry:

that's not the front. That is an outflow boundry from the storms in north Texas today.

The front is coming tomorrow or Wednesday though, so don't worry. It WILL arrive soon enough..

Wow! The front actually made a diiference! It was nice out this morning, a lot less humidity and a nice north breeze! Feels like fall!!

Yankeegirl, I could definately feel a difference this morning! I walked outside at day break off the back porch to let nature take it's course (hey, I live in the country! :cheesy:

) and felt a big difference. Heck, it even smelled like fall was in the air. A slightly stronger front could push through this upcoming weekend.

wow. For the first time in awhile Hooks airport has yet to break 90F today (currently at 89F), and it is sunny! This sure is a nice break from the heat. I just can't wait until tomorrow morning when we are in the 60s...now THAT will feel nice.

Hasn't this been absolutely pleasant? A high of 89° with a rh of 41%. It's actually possible to walk outside and not melt.

It felt so nice today, and I hadn't even realized a front came through and then I checked the forecast and low's might be in the mid 60's the next couple of nights. Fall isn't too far away and I'm ready to bid this summer good riddance!

Extremeweatherguy · #12 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:03 am

66F in backyard this morning.

Yeah EWG ... it was 67 lovely degrees this morning here in Austin. Man, this feels great!!!

CajunMama · #14 Postby **CajunMama** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:15 am

Here we are at the end of sultry august and it's 79

Johnny · #15 Postby **Johnny** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 1:12 pm

I woke up right before daybreak and it was 62 degrees!! Man it felt great. I'm looking forward to the changing of the seasons. It looks like the next front is getting pushed back to Tuesday now with a couple of stormy days before hand.

DISCUSSION...
NOT MUCH OF CONCERN FOR THE SHORTTERM AS THE DRIER/SLIGHTLY COOLER
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO SETTLE OVER THE REGION. WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
SEE WARMISH MAX TEMPS GIVEN THE DRY AIRMASS/GENERAL LACK OF CLOUDS
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. OTHERWISE THE NEXT SET OF NOTABLE WX FEA-
TURES NOT UNTIL THE WEEKEND. SOME CHANGES WITH THE 00Z MODELS RUNS
AS THE NEXT FRONT APPEARS TO BE DELAYED A BIT (FROPA NOW EARLY TUE
TIMEFRAME). DEEP UPPER TROF THAT IS HELPING DRAG THIS SFC BOUNDARY
DOWN THE CENTRAL PLAINS GETS CAUGHT UP OVER THE GREAT LAKES AS THE
SEEMING REMNANTS OF ERNESTO APPROACHES. AS A RESULT...THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SLOW AS IT MOVES INTO NC TX OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
THUS A SLIGHTLY BETTER RETURN FLOW PATTERN TO SET UP OVER THE WEEK
END. THIS TO AID IN JUSTIFYING SLIGHT CHC POPS STARTING SUN BEFORE
INCREASING TO CHC MON/TUES AS THE LINGERING BOUNDARY JUST NORTH OF
THE CWA FINALLY PUSHES THROUGH INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. PROGS HAVE
THE FRONT RETURNING NORTH LATE NEXT THURS OR SO (ALONG WITH LOWISH
POPS).

My low was 69 this AM. Not that cool but the drop in humidity made it feel nice.

Funny how the first front comes down almost exactly when the meteorological fall begins.

If we can keep them coming for another 4 or 5 weeks - no hurricanes for us.

Yankeegirl · #17 Postby **Yankeegirl** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 4:33 pm

I personally dont think we are going to get a hurricane this year anyways,.. I think we have had a pretty wet summer and I think its going to blalnce itself out... Just my opinion though... as for this marvelous weather we are having!! I love it, still a tad bit warm during the day, but wonderful at night!!
