Powerball Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On the whole, 1980 just wasn't as humid as this heatwave has been so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hottest temp that year was 113*F. It’s June though. 105-108 in June is virtually unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Dallas, and I know Houston, 1980 and 2011 are responsible for a lot of the daily summer records. Weirdly, Houston's all time record of 109*F was set in September, 2000.

A fair amount of the low-hanging fruit was broken in 2022 as well (which, BTW, tied for the hottest MJJ on record). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Several stations in southwestern Oklahoma exceeded 110 degrees today for the actual high, including 113 at Altus. Wichita Falls also hit 110, but their daily record high is 117, so not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 DFW should end June with around a +2 degree departure, maybe a hair warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstrunk Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I've had rain 8 out of the first 10 days in July so far. About 3" total. Continuing with a wet summer in this area so far, which has been nice. My lawn is loving it. Hope we can avoid any long dry spells before fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It's a shame here in SAT because we were off & running to a great start and then it just went "poof" last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the Summer of 2009 mentioned as an analog, and it's an interesting one. The temps/departure ls were a bit more variable here in North Texas (similar to this year so far), but yeah, it was an all-out torch down that way.

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 The good news, the GFS has been about 5° too warm today around Dallas and Houston. The bad news, next week is 109 or 110°F each evening at 7pm. Ballpark 5° correction- 105° for a week sounds like 1980 territory. Houston hasn't been breaking records, and most of them the last few days were from 1980. GEFS suggests maybe better luck with storms riding the ridge as it pushes W after 10 days. GFS operational showing rain cooled 70s and 80s in much of Texas along/E of I-35 for Tuesday July 25th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas 7/15 1978 110° 7/16 1980 108° 7/17 1954 109° 7/18 2022 108° Only one of the days mentioned next week even set the record in 1980. I do, obviously, follow Houston a bit more closely, yesterday's record of 103° was from last year. I don't know why I remember just 2011 and 1980, last summer was pretty darn hot. It might be the accompanying drought I remember. Couple of weeks ago Houston was near/at 100°, but we were close enough to the edge of the ridge we caught storms coming down 45 from Dallas. June 21 one of those round of storms, poorly modeled by the CAMs, brought an all time record 97 mph gust. Broke the record from September 2008.

Powerball Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The convective debis and the light showers through Midday wasn't enough to put a lid on temps, as it still ended up at 104*F at DFW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 87*F at 4am. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I know many of you are focused on Dallas and Houston, but south of there in TX it has been a brutally hot and humid summer. Corpus Christi has had excessive heat warnings nearly every day for the past month. Besides hot temperatures, the humidity has been crazy due to above normal GOM temps. Constant dew points between 76-82 for weeks on end…not sure how people can deal with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 College Station and Huntsville were already AOA 100°, but thanks to cooling Gulf breezes, Houston is only 95° as of 3 pm. Galveston is only 91°, but a dewpoint of 81° is pretty gnarly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 This airmasss is something else though with how efficiently it heats up. Yet again, deapite being socked in with convective debris all morning with light showers, highs still recovered into the low/mid 100s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achieved an intra-hour high of 101*F early in the afternoon before the outflow boundary (pseudo-front) moved through. DFW's currently at 10 days AOA 100*F for the season. I did speak too soon about the cloud cover, because an altostratus cloud deck quickly filled in not long after my post this morning and stuck around for much of the day.

Powerball Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Some nice garden variety storms moving through It's a nice way to get brief relief from the 100s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
