Well we hit 108 degrees again, then spent most of the boiling day at 106. I had to spend four hours today picking up trash at the park after the damn soccer game. It was hot as hell out there.

In Buda, Texas we hit 108 hot degrees today. The wind in the shade is a hot oven. Plants are shriveling up. I water our fruit trees. No matter, the leaves turn brown anyhow. This is getting BAD. No rain for weeks yet. All the models are printing out for us, is hot and dry, hotter and dry for the foreseeable future. The future is bright, very snow bright in the DC Region beginning in November. The subtropical jet will be an absolute BEAST and bring massive storms, that will explode because of the hot ocean SSTs. It's going to be a long, frigid, SNOWY winter in the mid Atlantic!

I watched Statter's vid. I am so frackin' GLAD I dont live in North Va anymore. This Hellageddon Monster Heat Wave in Texas may kill me yet - but at least we dont have those I 395 crazies down in south central Texas. Yet. It was BAD as heck in northern Virginia in 2018 in August when I made my escape.

We hit 107 for the second time in a week down here. Its 106 degrees right now. It's high time I moved to Jasper and live in an ice cave lol.

Here is an excerpt from todays AFD here in Scorch, Texas: .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 232 AM CDT Sat Aug 12 2023 The Subtropical High that has remained centered over the region for the better part of the last 2 months shows little sign of budging in the long term. This pattern is already becoming semi permanent. I continue to theorize that the cool wet East / Hellish hot very dry scorched West and South/Southwest pattern alignment will more or less obtain into the New Year, and that this will result in a very cold very snowy winter for the Mid Atlantic. Texas will dry up and blow away, as will most of the Deep South and the usual suspect areas in the West. I think that 100s may continue unabated and unabashed in Texas, into possibly November! While in the East, rains will continue and cold front after cold front will smash into the Mid Atlantic into the new year. For all intents and purposes, Autumn has already begun in the Mid Atlantic, and temps will become progressively cooler, then chilly, then transition down into snow weather. Not only will DC have a white Christmas, but they may also end up with a white Thanksgiving! Hellageddon will continue apace in the Deep South, centered upon Texas, for the next few months, while the East will get cooler and cooler and will get a lot of rain, much more than usual per strong Nino, then snow, and lots of it.

Glad to see you are having a good time, but those pics are makin me so jealous.

I am very, VERY jealous! Be very careful tryin to jebwalk on that ice! It's very slippery! A glacier is NO place for a jebwalk.

Just a little bit of Texan Summer humor lol...... .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 220 AM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023 Control+C, Control+V yesterday`s discussion. We continue what seems like our never-ending stretch of record heat over South Central Texas through the long term forecast period. The only glimmer of hope may reside in the Subtropical Ridge migrating ever so slightly back to the north and west early next week, which may result in some seabreeze shower and storm activity, especially over the Coastal Plains. The latest NBM actually came in with 20-30% PoPs over much of the CWA for 18Z Tue-00Z Wed, but with continued hot and dry conditions and extremely dry soils and fuels, opted to remove PoPs for all but the Coastal Plains Tuesday afternoon. While flow may be more northwesterly and deterministic guidance may be feeding the NBM with higher PoPs, the latest ECMWF and GFS ensembles paint a completely different picture, with little to no rain in any of their respective members. Fire Weather concerns will continue as long as the extreme heat continues, but we should see a slight nudge down in overall wind speeds Sunday through next week, which should lower the fire weather concerns just a bit. However, headlines are still possible given extremely dry fuels and the possibility of wildfires highly resistant to control. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=EWX&issuedby=EWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 We hit 106 degrees yesterday. We'll likely do it again today. I think it's high time for another leisurely jebwalk.

That looks like such a SHWEET place! I bet it was cool, too! Enjoy!

The very latest on our toasty weather where I am at...... .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 137 PM CDT Wed Aug 9 2023 We`ve run out of superlatives to describe the current weather situation. It`s still very hot. It`s still very dry. The risk for wildfires and heat health concerns will remain very high into the weekend, and are unlikely to improve significantly beyond that through the next 1-2 weeks. And given the extended time period we`ve been in this mess, the risk for complacency may increase. Not much new can be said about the weather situation. Subtropical ridging will continue to hold true over the southern tier of the US, with H5 height anomalies increasing this weekend and maximizing nearby during the first half of next week. The good news is that we do expect some improvement (reduction) in surface wind speeds by Monday, which could help somewhat in the Fire Weather department, however it also appears we`ll see even lower afternoon RH values so fire danger will remain high. As we`ve seen over the past 2 weeks or so it doesn`t take much for fires to start and spread with fuels as dry as they are. This heightened fire weather threat is unlikely to go away over the next 2 weeks despite some improvement early next week. It's likely to continue to rinse and repeat every day around 104-105, lows around 80, probably right into next month as the wonderfully sunny high pressure has settled in for a nice long vacation in Texas. It is definitely keeping the weeds down, lol. EDIT 629pm today, high in Buda hit 107 degrees. That's pure air temperature, NOT heat index. This is getting ridiculous, lol. It was only supposed to hit 104 today! lol https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=EWX&issuedby=EWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 The silver lining here is that the cool East trough/hot west Heat Dome of Doom alignment will likely continue right into the New Year, resulting in storminess and below normal temps for the Mid Atlantic. Stock up on energy drinks and beer, because you guys are gonna be on those models for months starting in November. Stock up on Jebman Shovels, too. You're gonna need 'em. Temperatures will trend down especially in September for the Mid Atlantic, bringing progressively cooler rain storms and fronts through the OND timeframe, gradually shading down into rain to snow phase change weather, and then on down into snow after snow after snow in the Mid Atlantic. It will be a truly Memorable Nino for snow weenies and weather enthusiasts. Washington DC will have a White Christmas, then get utterly crippled on New Year's Eve by a fantastic comma head laden with ridiculously torrential snows.

I'd be digging snow!

Very glad to hear you guys got the power back on. Thats definitely NOT fun. Last winter we got iced out and no power for a week! No heat. No lights. No stove. Not a single luxury. Kind of like Gilligan's Island but cold as heck!

People are getting sick and tired of summer. I know I am. It hit a blazing 105 again today. Check this out: This is the REAL McCoy! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/mccoy-station They STILL have snow! Check out their weather observations! Highs in the 50s and 60s! In AUGUST! Thats because they are above 9000 feet elevation! https://mammothmountain.westernweathergroup.com/ The Northeast has NOTHING on the western ski resorts! Not even in the winter! Okay, maybe Mt Washington might. That place is very cold, snowy and windswept.

Did someone say 'old-timer' ? I know I am old, but..........

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE scenery!

One thing you DON'T want MillvilleWx to bring back with him from Tx, is this blindingly harsh blazing heat! Believe you me, you DON'T want that, not one little bit!

Just imagine what Winter is gonna be like once that subtrop jet gets all cranked up with the Nino! Folks will be up for days and days on energy drinks checkin out models as a monster snow blizzard develops then crushes the entire DC Region!

While you guys are dodging severe weather in the Washington Metropolitan Region, we are broiling down here in south central Tex at 105 degrees. We have been doing 104 degrees day after blazing hot day.

Wow N.Va. Stay safe!

Could we please have some of your rain, northern Virginia?

They are as hot as Texas is, but it is mid WINTER in that region of the Southern Hemisphere.

FIXED. You forecast a winter storm, give it passion!

THIS WINTER, You'll see plenty of snow. Lots of storms, and they are gonna get timed perfectly, and you are gonna get Palisaded. Or Mammothed. Or Alta'd.

CONGRATS to you, Millville! I am really overjoyed for you!

It was me. I was visiting, and because I am from the Texas Heat Dome Inferno Region, I think a 104 heat index is a major Arctic incursion. It was downright comfortable out, and I enjoyed the run. Its been so damned hot in Texas, that we think upper 90s are like a Thanksgiving weather front in Boston. We had at least a week of heat indices near 120 degrees. It was like 103 with dewpoints in the upper 70s, believe it or not.
