GOM warming up again

[Stormcenter]

With this CRAZY warm/hot weather we are
having here in Texas I noticed the GOM
waters are warming up again. If I didn't
know any better I would think in was August.

I was thinkng the same here last night. I took a walk to the beach and the air temperature was warm and humid. I thought to myself this is the fall version of how it felt before Charley.

We'll see if this warm phase snaps on a system. I was saying a month ago, premature cold sometimes foretells fall favorability...

Well with the upper level ridge and temps in the 90's it will tend to warm the ocean.

Really hot here today - Ok, did someone fool with the calendar and move us back into summer?

It was 92 here in Austin yesterday and today I saw 93F. The official temp today out at the airport was 89. The low overnight was 76, a record high temp for a low for this date...

Thursday and Friday:

Thursday's weather will be a repeat of what Central Texas had Wednesday. Low clouds will build through the overnight with an overcast sky at sunrise. Low temperatures will fall to mostly the middle 70s with a few lower 70s in the rural areas. Depending on when the clouds break will determine how hot we get. We'll forecast a high of 92 which is the record at both Camp Mabry and ABIA for October 21st.

It will be mostly cloudy Friday as mid- and upper-level moisture begin to increase. An upper-level low moving out of southern California to the southern Rockies and the central Plains will help push a Pacific cold front into the area by late Friday night into Saturday morning. Forecasts indicate the majority of any weekend rain will be Saturday morning with a few lingering showers Saturday afternoon. The front will not have much cooling behind it because it of Pacific origin rather than Canadian air. After highs near 90 on Friday, the front drops temperatures into the middle 80s for the weekend. Middle 80s will still be above normal for this time of year.

It's also disgustingly humid. Right now, at 8 pm, it's 81F and 79% humidity. Dew Point: 73 °F

Yuk.

I couldn't agree more. Today the high was 85. Once you get into middle October and beyond you really yearn for fall, even if this is Florida.

Ya'll wanna trade weather? Today's high was only 54°F here.

I will tell you what. It was so humid today that I have never seen storms like these in south florida. I was driving right in the middle of the most ominous looking sky that I have ever seen. I can't even describe it it was so bad. We were under a tornado watch at the time but I have never been so scared and with the storms we get in south florida, for me to say it was the worst, it must have been pretty bad. Today it looks as if it is building again, but doesn't seem to be as severe.
