Hurricane Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 We're on the cusp of yet another scorching hot summer in San Antonio. The record for most 100º days in a year was set in 2009 with 59. As of June 18 (yesterday), SAT has had 8 days over 100 degrees. In 2009, there were only 6 days over 100º by June 18. For fun, how many days do you think SAT will top 100º this year? Entry Deadline: Monday, June 26 - 12:00 AM CDT You can adjust your prediction as many times as you wish between now and the deadline. Right now I'm going to guess the same number of days I guessed back in 2009... 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msalgado Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 When I woke up this morning to a fresh cold font in June here in the mountains of NM I felt a bit of pity for everyone I know stuck in SA still. Then I felt the need to gloat. LOL I'll say 32 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Current count is at 9. SAT picked up 1.58" of rain on Wednesday morning which will help temperatures stay below 100 the next couple of days. Depending on what happens in the Gulf, more rain could be on the way. Remember, you have up until the deadline to enter the contest or adjust your prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoman25 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Update: San Antonio has had 5 more days reach 100+, making a total of 11 for the year. Forecast for the next week is mid/upper 90s. Looking like a lot of people, including myself, will probably bust high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like a lot of people, including myself, will probably bust high. looks like few chances until at least the weekend. gfs mos is actually below climo most of the next week, though i assume it's running slightly cool given the nws forecast. we need the soil to dry out to get a good streak going. otherwise, most of us are way too high.

snowmanwx Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 SAT lies at such high elevation and low latitude that it isn't as hot as one might suspect. In 2009, the hottest summer of record at SAT, the tropical season essentially failed: no significant tropical waves--only dry Saharan air--reached the northern Gulf of Mexico and moved inland over Texas. The intertropical convergence zone stayed far to the south of normal, and the first tropical storm in the entire Atlantic formed only in mid-August (and quickly dissipated). Claudette did form in the Gulf, but she was so weak and tiny that a sea-breeze front overran her in Florida. Hurricane Ida traversed the Gulf in November, long after the end of summer. Tropical seasons in 1998 and 1980 also started slow. Tropical waves appear active rather far north this year, and some ultimately may bring rain to Texas.

Its 600 feet above Sea Level or so. Thats not very high at all. Also, having lived there nearly all of my life, I can tell you that it is definitely as hot as one would suspect. Highs average the mid 90s with high humidity throughout the 3 summer months and the spring and fall can be quite hot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 waco and dfw seem to have no problem baking so far this year. already 43 and 31 days of 100+ at each, respectively. at least SAT has now picked up a few days straight above the century mark.
