Well we wont have mud. Central Texas didnt get stuck with feet of snow like the Northeast did this winter.
Sunshine and hell hot is something we are very, very good at. The southeasterlies set up, dews climb to prodigious heights then it gets nice and hot. And cloudless.
Most of Texas should be clear to maybe partly cloudy, should be pretty good eclipse weather.
Famous. Last. Words.
Watch us end up with a rare Gulf Low that clouds Austin up with heavy rain all damn day April 8, while the rest of the country gets wall to wall sunshine and an unseasonable heat wave lmao!
You know, somehow, I really wouldnt be surprised. I am OLD. This is my very last chance to see a total solar eclipse in America. I'm in bad shape. I will NOT see the 2040s. I will be very lucky to see 65.
Yeah, April 8 will be thick dark clouds in Texas, record rains with absolutely FRANTIC emergency water rescues, over four feet of rain in a 7 hour period in Travis and Hays Counties shattering records since the Civil War in the mid 19th Century. And I spend the entire day clinging desperately to a tree, screaming for help until I am fooking hoarse, while 57 foot deep waters rage all around me!
Connecticut will be sunny and cloudless with record hot weather, setting new 200 year records making me wish heartily I had gone to Connecticut to see the eclipse because Texas is so wet during a total eclipse from record rains from a 3500 mile long line of training thunderstorms. The ONE time in my whole life I never wanted rain in Texas ---- WE WILL GET IT -----
On April 8th, the Day of the Total Eclipse.
Bank on it. With serious interest.
Hey, there's still time for me to board a flight to Connecticut.
