Powerball Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Seems both San Antonio and Houston officially broke their 100*F streak today. Austin eeked out an intra-hour 100*F before getting an outer band of t'storms from Harold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was supposed to be Houston' day to tie 2011's consecutive 100°F streak, and we'd break it tomorrow. A week at least more, Thursday forecast at 107°F. Cloudy, a few showers, upper 90s.

Powerball Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 At this point, for statistical posterity, hoping the OP GFS pulls a coup. Will need 100s at least through and including Monday to: 1. Crack the top 5 list for most 100*F+ days in a year. 2. Crack the top 10 list for most 100*F+ days in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 The lower humidity today made it feel almost nice, despite a temperature of 96° and dewpoint still at 66°. It's been a hot summer in the OKC area, but not as bad as last year. We're only at thirteen 100-degree days, compared to last year's 24, and far from the 2011 record of 63.

Powerball Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Houston apparently made it to 109*F Meanwhile, DFW broke more records as well with a high of 107*F and a low of 84*F (previous records were 106*F and 82*F respectively in 2011).

Powerball Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Seems that 99*F on 8/14 has come back to haunt, because current projecrions are that DFW will fall 1 day short of cracking the top 10 list for the number of 100*F+ days in a month.

Powerball Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Well what do you know... To my shock, DFW achieved the seemingly impossible 110*F high today (which, needless to say, is also another record high for the day). First time since 8/2/2011.

And thunderstorms developed at dusk. IAG got 0.01, the first measurable rainfall in 7 weeks, I'd guesstimate half an inch on the lawn, and there a lot of wind. Electricity came back at 2 am. Sleeping w/o AC, how did people survive the 19th Century? 40 degree T/Td spread, 2 reports to SPC for wind in Harris County. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 NWS forecast is 108°F tomorrow, but my daughter said the TV forecast (she thinks it was AccuWeather, that would be Channel 13) said an all time record of 110°F 20% chance of storms. I didn't think it was possible to have a ridge strong enough for that kind of heat and have convection. When I lived in DFW, the really hot days there wasn't a cloud.

Powerball Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Something that may get lost in the conversation for DFW is that whlle 2023 Met Summer may be hotter than 1998 and 2022 on paper: 1. 2022 tied for the hottest May-June-July on record (with 1998). 2. While 1998, 2011 and 1980 were wall-to-wall torches from start to finish, 2022 was decidedly front-loaded while 2023 has been decidedly back-loaded.

Powerball Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 DFW managed to eek out another 100*F today despite increased cloud cover and a quicker frontal passage. With that, 2023 also ties with 2022 for 47 100*F+ days. Just need 1 more before August ends to crack the top 10 list for the most in a month. It's going to be a tall order, but it seems Thursday will offer the best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 107° headed for 110°, but HGX radar showing some little cells popcorning to the N of Houston, and GRK showing more in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 *IF* DFW somehow managed to avoid measurable precip from today's storms (I doubt it, but it wouldn't surprise me), this will tie for the 2nd driest August on record and it will be the 4th driest Summer on record.

lookingnorth Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 While the heat has eased up somewhat the past few days (thankfully), we could really use some rain. Most of the state has not seen a drop of rain in the past two weeks. Most of the OKC metro has seen less than an inch of rain in the past seven weeks. We haven't even had a cloudy day in quite some time. The long stretches of hot, dry, sunny weather really get to me after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 This weekend's forecast is turning into a bust for DFW, in a good way. In an odd way, it's thanks to Idalia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 HGX fire weather disco expressing some concern for t-storms drifting into inland SE Texas for lightning strikes and gusty winds, and not much rain. POPs as high as 60% in Houston proper, but I doubt that, somehow. I believe August was 0.01 inches of rain for August at IAH, I know Hobby received a trace, setting a monthly record for no rain. Hi Res NAM would suggest 20% anywhere, HRRR shows a nice storm late tomorrow for Houston, but it also look no better than 20% area wide. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/4000-acre-wildfire-triggers-evacuations-in-walker-county/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 It's crazy to think, by the end of this week, DFW may still have a shot at breaking and/or tying the 1980 record for the most 105*F+ days in a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 It's up to 102°F in OKC and 103°F in Norman, the hottest September temperatures here since 2012, and the hottest I have personally experienced as I was living in North Carolina back in 2012.
