dmillz25 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I've been in several 100 degree days here and I so hate it. I can't imagine dealing with it almost everyday. Good luck to you this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 And up around NYC at least the heat hits for a few days, maybe a week, before a front comes through (for many with a good squall line and severe weather) and cools everyone off. Here, post Memorial Day the only heat relief to expect before mid-late Sept is a tropical system or a front on steroids/random MCS, which cools us off but at the expense of jacking up the humidity. From late July to Labor Day it isn't unheard of to have 3/4 of daily highs be above 100 with quite a few above 105. Even people "used to the heat" from FL and CA warn about the heat in south Texas. Austin's average highs in July-Aug are hotter than any temp I've recorded since 2012. Wow. Just brutal. With an average in the mid/upper 90s, you know there's days near 110. I'm not too familiar with Austin's climate, but given their overnight lows in the mid 70s and geographic location east of the classic "dry line", they're in a hot/humid climate. West Texas is probably more tolerable (although still brutal) with lower dew points and 95-100F heat. Either way, that's hot as hell. You're going to be reaching for a jacket any time you visit here after adjusting to that climate.

Wow I'm sure there will be more hot days this summer then a whole lifetime in LB!!! Big diffrence today between Manhattan and the south shore.

People pretty much stay inside or go to places with great AC for 3 months out of the year. BTW the all time record of 111 was hit in August of 2011 during the height of the last drought here. But temps very commonly top out in the low and mid-100s especially late July and August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman19 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm wondering whether summers will wind up cooler than normal for many years to come do to the -AMO shift. The cooler waters are less supportive of sustained SE ridging/Bermuda highs, pumping heat up the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Today might be an active day in central TX, hopefully we see some good activity. So far it's all been well north of here and below average. It looks like Austin is near the southern end of where the strongest tornadoes and severe in general occur in Texas. The major tornado probabilities increase as you head up toward DFW. I can remember Jarrell EF5 just to your north back in 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Texas is part of Tornado alley but the bulk of activity is more focused around the Panhandle and other sections that border Oklahoma. You can still get some fair activity as far South as Austin and Arlington but North of there is prime territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm wondering whether summers will wind up cooler than normal for many years to come do to the -AMO shift. The cooler waters are less supportive of sustained SE ridging/Bermuda highs, pumping heat up the coast. The thing is, the much below normal water temps are more or less confined to the immediate shore. The rest of the Atlantic looks more or less average. Maybe a slight nod to above average. The cold temps along the coast make for a cooler coastal spring, but I dont know that it will have much of an impact on larger scale ridges/troughs.

tdp146 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The shear profiles in the Atlantic this year look fine for home brews in the Gulf and off the FL coast The CSU team is predicting below normal Atlantic activity. Mostly because of the expected El Nino and cooler waters in the ITCZ -especially off the coast of Africa. That could cut down the number of classic long track cape verde storms. I also took note that the skill level in predictions for hurricane seasons in April is very low. It apparently gets better by the time they make the June prediction. But like you said- if the environment closer to home (just off the east coast) is conudusive, we could see something spin up and get a little too close for comfort.

Everyone is expecting a below average season in the Atlantic basin this season but if you look at the predicted shear profiles from the Euro, particularly during the first half of the season, we should be able to pull off a few homebrews.

jm1220 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Could be an exciting late afternoon and evening here. Some stronger storms are popping west of San Antonio, one in S TX is tornadic right now, and the skies are clearing out here in Austin. If today doesn't work out, we also have an elevated risk tomorrow and slight risk Saturday. Primary threat seems to be large hail and wind vs tornadoes, but it doesn't take a lot to spin some up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
