Texas Fall 2023
Earlier in the week, we had early morning cloud cover and north winds as storms swept through parts of Oklahoma. Almost felt like an early taste of fall.
So with that, and now three weeks from the start of meteorological fall, here it is, one of my favorite threads of the year, the official Texas Fall 2023 thread.
We’ll move over there in a few weeks on the opening day of dove season, on September 1st, when the meteorological autumn season finally begins. (Good riddance Summer 2023!!!)
Hopefully, our upcoming discussions will include some very beneficial fall rainfall across Texas, some strong and early cool fronts pushing through, and no lingering summertime heat.
We can all dream, right?

Re: Texas Fall 2023
FINALLY! I was waiting for this thread. The heat's completely disturbed my aestivation for the most part.
Hopefully Fall brings cooler and stormier weather. I'm done with these triple digits.

Summer's for hibernation, Winter’s my vacation
Don't use my posts as forecast, I'm a complete meteorology noob! I just like cold weather, alright?
All observations I post are for Temple, Texas unless otherwise stated.

I like the pic. I've recently moved to Ruidoso N.M. from McKinney Texas (Early Jump to Retirement). However, I am still in the Landscaping Industry supporting North Texas. I will still be monitoring Storm2k for Fall/Winter weather which has "EVERYTHING" to do with early Spring. I'm glad to still have you guys here.

Re: Texas Fall 2023
Bill Ponder thinks mid September will be the pattern transition.
So one more month of blast furnace misery.

Re: Texas Fall 2023
I hope so... But unfortunately I discovered the all time September and October high in Tulsa was set in 1939... Ironically the last time California had a landfall before this week
doesn't seem to be a good thing for us

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the heat and drought stick around till October. I think drought conditions are gonna get a good bit worse yet before they get better.

Mid-September is the Oklahoma State Fair, so that seems to be accurate.

Wouldn't surprise me, because back in 2011 here, once it hit October, the rains came back and it cooled off permanently. Hoping for sooner than October however!

Larry Cosgrove is saying the same. Hope they're right.

Re: Texas Fall 2023
There will likely be an anomalous cold snap late October or November. This is a common theme for El Nino.

Re: Texas Fall 2023
Bring on the cold! I want to ride my bike to class and not be drenched when I get to class. 100 degrees everyday is so boring and flat out ridiculous in Mississippi.

Euro Weeklies show little to no rain for most of Texas, better in South and Coastal Texas but still below normal, and a straight up full on North American Torch through October

Yeah fall looks almost nonexistent across much of the US through September. Not what you wanna see after a brutal summer. Hopefully our cooler and wetter El Nino pattern will kick in October.

I mean, the brutally hot Summer of 2011 did a 180 when October hit. Was counting on Mid September this year.
