Yeah, it started raining on UT campus about 20 minutes ago. And looks like the low temp will be 85 at Mabry. Weird stuff.

Get rid of the Rocky Mountains. That way, the jet stream can maintain a more zonal mean position, allowing high pressure to elongate and settle north that it allows Texas summer rainfall. Just like it is on every other continent in the world.

Nope, it's definitely about this "normal" Texas hot summer, which is actually abnormal.

While it may be abnormal compared to the "norms" ... it is somewhat normal compared to the last 20 years where we have seen increasing numbers of 100-degree-plus days in Texas. Victor Murphy, an excellent climate scientist who works for the NWS office out of Fort Worth, has been tweeting a bunch of data supporting this over the last few weeks.

weatherdude, the record maximum low for today is 86, set in 1906. Granted that is for KATT (Camp Mabry). But this is also the warmest minimum temperature at the airport in 20 years.
