Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 It has rained, DFW is looking to go end (or seriously improve) their drought via flooding. 'Every drought in Texas ends with a flood' does look like it will happen again, but the other about droughts ending via the tropics, none needed.

aggiegeog Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Today's rain bomb along I-20 from DFW through East Texas has been incredible with some locations nearly doubling YTD rainfall in less than 24hr. The Mesquite area is up to around 15", DFW up to over 9" and most of area in the 4-8" range. Perfect storm of systems converging over the area. The heaviest rains are slowing edging ESE. I wont be surprised if someone tops 20". What a way to go from major drought to flooding in a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstrunk Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Seems like this round is pretty much over for Longview. I ended up with 7.14". 7.10" within a 24 hour period from 3 pm Sunday to 3 pm Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 For DFW, despite the "sharp" cool down from mid-August on, 2022 is still on track for a top 5 warmest Summer on record (most likely either #3 or #4) with the 2nd highest number of 80*F+ lows on record and the 6th highest number of 100*F+ highs on record. FWIW, will only need 1 more 100*F+ day to make the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 BTW, it's kind of wild this will be a top 5 hottest Summer for DFW and a top 10 wettest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I know this year was the hottest July on record in Houston. The recent rains have reduced the drought and wildfire risk in most of the state, and we are now getting pieces of mid-latitude disturbances that come under the ridge and rain on us. Like a tropical wave, except not of tropical origin. I'd post the drought map but an apparent 8.4 kb file limit means I can't post most images.

Powerball Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 After sunny skies through early afternoon and highs in the mid 90s, just got smacked pretty good here with a severe thunderstorm. Addison airport gusted to 51 MPH. Had an awesome-looking sheil cloud too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 The temperature reached 95°F today in Galveston, which tied the daily record set in 2005. Today's 90° or above reading further extended this year's record for such days to 105. That number has increased as Galveston's climate has warmed.

donsutherland1 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Through September 22, Galveston has 100 days on which the low temperature was 80°F or above. That is well above the old mark of 91 days, which was set in 2011. Very few locations in the mainland U.S. have ever seen 100 or more such days.

aggiegeog Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Temps this morning are in the mid 20s to mid 30s across East Texas. Looks like the freeze warning could have been expanded one more row. Hope all were prepared for the cold this morning. A rapid warmup after today in the mid to upper 80s by Friday and this weekend.

It's Always Sunny Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Possible Slight Risk day for our area Monday/Tuesday. Phasing questions remain regarding Pacific cutoff which could make or break the risk. Something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 SPC SWODY2 seems to follow 12Z CAM guidance closely, with an area of very favorable EHI just S of I-10, such that Houston is barely marginal but nearby SGR, 15 minutes away (an hour away rush hour) is in a 5% tornado risk. 18Z doesn't look much different. Immediate HOU looks slightly elevated. Houston, as a trend, underperforms, coastal storms retard inland progression more than models forecast. So the odds 0Z models will shift much on something less than a day away. But Houston rarely has interesting severe weather (last F-4 (pre-EF scale) was November 1992, IIRC) and slight weenie even for slightly elevated storms. Severe isn't my big thing, snow/ice and tropical, but DFW, a typical thunderstorm matches a once a 5 year Long Island storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
