Texas Summer 2024

[ravyrn]

I'm hearing thunder here at the office in Palestine. I checked my camera at home and see a decent downpour in Alderbranch. I hope some others luck out and get some rain.

Well our false fall is coming to a screeching halt here... hopefully that front next weekend is legit

[South Texas Storms]

Some nice surprise storms in SA this evening! I'm confident that we've seen the hottest conditions of the year already. While it will still be hot at times, temps should gradually decrease as we head into September.

[Yukon Cornelius]

104 heat index at 8:45 PM. Ridiculous.

[Yukon Cornelius]

Hottest temp in the US for Friday was Vernon, which is to the west of WF. 114.

[Ntxw]

Low to mid 90s in the forecast, stepping down is happening. For some it is a bit slower than others but summer is slowly losing grip.

[Brent]

Still seeing some cooler air around Labor Day

Also apparently the first flakes out in the Sierras

Our last 8pm sunset until next April

It's coming sooner or later

And it’s raining up there, although probably evaporating because there’s no way rain suffices at jacuzzi temperature

That early september front is looking stormy and much cooler for many, this will be a much welcomed treat for many as highs for most behind the front will be in the low- mid 80’s

Seeing some 50s showing up around Labor Day... oh many Labor Day's have been 100 degrees still

Hopefully, this is the start of a pattern change. Also, the 00z Euro looks nice. I do have concerns that we will flip back to a summer pattern and see the Gulf Hurricane Season ramp back up.

Yeah im really surprised the Atlantic is so dead but I'm still telling people if it ever wakes up we definitely aren't done with the heat

But I dunno for all the predictions something is off

I understand what you're saying about hurricane season and I asked a met friend yesterday if he thought the predictions would stand. He is holding to his which is 18/10/6. We might not get above 100 here in Houston for the first time this week, but it is currently 99.8f at my house so... we shall see. Last year has definitely been worse than this year heat wise. We moved into our new home on 8/24 last year and it was 109f. As for hurricane season I can't imagine "all" of the mets missing something that would bode poorly for their predictions unless there is some unprecedented physical event that happens that literally changes weather patterns and/or cools everything down.

Who is ready for a Labor Day cool down with some rain?!?! Bring it.

[Ntxw]

Highs in the 70s and 80s? Lows in the 60s?? Bring it!!!

[vbhoutex]

The high so far today in Houston has been 91f with passing showers. We have been as low as 73f. both are 10 degrees below what we have been having.

For where? North Texas hopefully.

[Brent]

Definitely stepping down here... mid 90s through Thursday then mid 80s and after Labor Day highs around 80
