I heard about that tornado in Pharr ... crazy huh?! It just goes to show how even a mild tropical storm can spur severe weather hundreds of miles to its north.

Great pix, Rgv20! I'm sure it created some excitement down there.

This is just adding insult to injury now but June 2011 was the second hottest month on record at KATT (Camp Mabry) and the fourth hottest on record at KAUS (Austin Bergstrom International Airport).

Have I said I absolutely hate La Nina? I think I have.

We got about 10 raindrops up here in P'ville. I couldn't tell if it was rain or bird poop...

As I am dogsitting, I'm seeing the grass dying. They are watering but it doesn't seem to help. Dunno what kind of grass - looks more like Bermuda than St Augustine but I'm no expert.

I thought La Nina was over? Not like we can tell - this time of year is usually hot!

Yesterday I got 0.63 inches at my house so no complaints here

Some hope on the Longer Range with the GFS & Euro showing an inverted trough & a tutt over the western GOM for next weekend.

12zGFS 500mb Height Anomalies for Saturday July 7.

0zECMWF 500mb Height Anomalies for Saturday July 7.

ohhh^

Was watching CNN when they started talking about firework bans and she draws a circle somewhere near Abilene says something about the drought in West Texas, says it's been 35 years since the last time Austin didn't have a fireworks show and puts a dot somewhere near Abilene ...

sigh. I knew it was dry, but when did we move to West Texas?

Day 21 Mabry 102 Bergstrom 100

A little bit of rain here, just enough to make it steamy...

I feel bad for you Shoshana yesterday at my house it hit 91 and today 94. Not bad considering our average high is 99.

The last time I checked yesterday it was 107 at my house. Can't wait for fall!

Day 22 just hit 100 at Mabry

June was officially the hottest month ever in San Angelo. I hope Al Gore doesn't find out.

To cool you folks down here's a link to one of my fave contacts at flickr (he is a geologist up in Nunavut)

With no A/C at my house (and shortly at my workplace) going there for summer holidays and hugging a iceberg sounds wonderbar.

That looks too cold :cold:

Again the high in Rio Grande City was 94, starting Wednesday or Thursday we are going to start hitting the century mark until further notice. :sun:

I was driving over to Target on Sunday evening, around 9:30. It was still 93 degrees! That's just ridiculous man. Heck, I'd take NORMAL summer temperatures at this point.

I know. Goodness gracious. I mean give me half a break. I get a couple of a degrees over normal, but 6-7 and more every day. What the heck? We are heading toward the hottest July as well. Friggin Cockroach Ridge of Death High Pressure....

Still enjoying the relatively cool weather for my area, Rio Grande City hit 95.

On Sunday we have a 30% chance of rain!!
