Fair enough, I've seen chatter on this board and via certain twitter follows over the last few days....it just seems that a tropical storm hitting Texas in 3-4 days isn't something most Texans have considered as a distinct possibility until, well, today. Can't control what the "mainstream media...
I'm no weather expert, but in 2017, isn't it disappointing that this goes from almost a non-story in the "mainstream" of weather reporting....to "oh crap, in 3-4 days this could hit anywhere on the Texas coast!"
Seems like the pattern is setting up to be a slightly less terrible version of last year.....lots of rain, jet stream stays north, temps stay above normal pretty much all fall. Hope I'm wrong, but thats what it seems to be trending to. I say slightly less terrible because I can't imagine having two ...
I also find the premise flawed that "good weather" means warm, rainy and humid, with no real seasons. Have fun with that :( This is how summers need to be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai#Climate 80 inches of rain per summer with more rainy days than non rainy days? You must not be m...
But it does and will happen again and again and again and again and again because this is TEXAS. Whichever way to try to slice it, you aren't changing anything. This is how the weather works in this part of the world...always has. If you feel you are getting ripped off to the point of being Angry, ...
Fair point, but again, Google US Rainfall map....the further you head east from the coastal bend north-south line, the higher the rainfall averages. Facts are facts.
I don't have the technical details down as much as some here....but take a map of the US....look at the Texas coastal bend and at the westernmost part of the bend (around Corpus) draw a line straight up and down.....to the left of it, if you pick any point in the state, land (Mexico) is directly sou...
This oppressive humidity looks to be covering the entire state, even West Texas, with the exception of El Paso (based n current dew points).....Even Midland and Lubbock look to be almost as bad off as the rest of us. Awful.
After this week, is this pattern finally going to shift to normal sunny Summer weather? Two springs in a row that have been absolutely awful Be careful what you wish for. Last year, the spigot shut off on July 4. Barely a trace of rain until October 22. Foliage around here is still recovering from ...
In simple terms, why is it 10/10 humidity right now, even in North Texas? Its felt about as miserable as it can get over the last few days...Bring on the high pressure system to park over us for weeks!
