94°F IMBY, but the dewpoint is 7°F higher than yesterday - and the heat index hit the Century mark. The grass loved it. We'll hang on until Friday and the weekend with rain chances....and avoid turning on the sprinklers.

Euro has most of the rain west of Houston (Austin, Hill Country), but nearly 2 inches in BCS from Friday noon to Tuesday evening. Fingers crossed!

On Storm 2K, one of the more educated guys on there is saying this summer could be like 2007. Boy, would that be nice!!

I didn’t become a Texan until 2013 (from SW Louisiana, so similar climate). Please educate me as to what the 2007 Summer was like....:)

Rain every week. When I left Ohio State (graduated in December 2006) I moved to Houston. That summer I was in a recreational sports league and we had rain out after rain out.

Humberto was that Summer as well. Hugged the Texas coast and spun up in less than 24 hours.

Yep. It feels like I shoved a bottle of El Yucateco up my backside and I am standing on my head. This weather is for the birds.

Man I thought I was the biggest hot weather hater in a Texas looks like I was wrong. :D
I realize where I live. I chose here because of the economy and opportunity.

I’m not lying when I say that I hate temps over 75 in this climate because of the humidity. 80 and really really dry isn’t bad, but I’m very warm blooded. I can sit on my back porch in sweatpants and a t shirt when it’s 35 outside.

Gotta head out to Abilene area this weekend (well, south of it, but nobody knows where Paint Rock is). Looks like we might see a lot of rain.

I recently saw a Texas Country Reporter segment wherein they highlighted a man who welds iron in Paint Rock. He makes some very lovely iron cooking pans that are a bit above my pay grade.
I would like to visit Paint Rock one day.
Enjoy your trip, Cro.

Little bit drier air (when it's not raining) out that direction in the Concho Valley between Ballinger and Eden. But those folks out there will take every drop they can get.

While you SE Texas folks are sweltering, it was 47F this morning in Western NC and it struggled to reach a high of 54F with rainfall and some of it very heavy. I still haven't turned on the A/C this year.

Rub it in! I’m sure you don’t miss this heat one bit. I sure wouldn’t! Our AC is running like its August already!

Just hope this hurricane season is nice to us. Saw Jeff’s email earlier about the monsoonal trough in early June and we will see how it plays out.

It’s looking like the bullseye of precipitation over the next week or two will be over central Texas. With that said, it looks like we will get our fair share too, especially west of 45.

There were discussions of stalling lows/fronts in Texas the first of next week. Memorial Day stalled lows aren't good news. Hopefully, the stuff stays way north of us, and we just get a good watering, but nothing more.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
408 PM CDT Thu May 21 2020

.SHORT TERM [Tonight through Tomorrow]...

Radar is still pretty quiet right now and not seeing much to our W
and NW either. However, will keep some low POPs in for these areas
through the rest of the afternoon and into early evening as we ap-
proach peak heating. We`ll also have to keep an eye to the W/SW as
another shortwave (per WV imagery near DRT) continues to move east
tonight. At this time, not a lot of confidence with it holding to-
gether all the way into SE TX, but not going to argue with the 20%
POPs already in the grids for the overnight/early morning hours.

Another night of warmish temperatures expected as the onshore flow
persists. Lows will be in the mid and upper 70s. Morning low cloud
cover and possible mid/high clouds from activity out west will mix
out/move off by late tomorrow morning. Isolated/scattered activity
is expected by tomorrow afternoon via the seabreeze and/or any em-
bedded disturbances aloft (as the upper ridge has flattened). High
temperatures should range from the lower to mid 90s inland; mid to
upper 80s along the coast. 41

&&

.LONG TERM [Tomorrow night through Thursday]...

The slow eastern progression of an northern Great Basin upper
trough/low will lower Southern Plains heights and finish what is
left of late work week shallow upper ridging. This general lowering
of Texas heights on Saturday will ultimately commence and maintain a
more cloudy, humid, wet and not-so-hot (yet very warm) mid to long
term late May period.

The possible evolution and northeastern track of a central Rio
Grande Valley upper low on Sunday, along with a large western upper
trough developing in its wake, will place the highest shower and
storm probabilities in during the Sunday through Tuesday time frame.
While the best upper level forcing and lower level jet placement
remains up north across northeastern Texas into Louisiana, our
chances for return precipitation remain relatively high from Days 3
through 8. Of course, the mesoscale will play a large role in the
timing of onset and regeneration but, in a broad paint roller-sense,
situational awareness needs to be much higher early next week for
the potential for late May severe weather.

Overcast and precipitation will knock down daily afternoon warmth
and, if rain/storms come through during the early to mid afternoon,
lower 80 maximum temperatures are not out of the question. High dew
points in the consistent lower to middle 70s will ensure many
mornings only `cool` down to these respective high dew points. Thus,
when not dealing with the rain, expect very warm, overcast and muggy
conditions to rule this period. 31

Latest QPF maps show basically a wall just to our NW.
Another feast or famine.

Looking like an active and prolonged weather pattern developing across much of Texas that may extend until the first of June. The extended Quantitative Precipitation Forecast suggests impressive rainfall totals for the Lower Rio Grande Valley into the Hill Country and into the Western areas of SE Texas.

Next week could bring heavier rains closer to Metro Houston as well as multiple rounds of severe weather. It is probably wise to keep an eye to the sky as the blocking pattern with a big trough anchored over Texas and the Southern Plains looks stationary for at least the next week.

Looks like this was a terrible decision to head west this weekend. We are going to be stuck indoors the entire time. Back home, barely a drop forecast.

Looks like the cap is breaking some today. Walker County and even Montgomery is in on it. I went on a walk earlier and noticed some updrafts not getting squashed be the cap. This wasn’t forecast for today....but I wasn’t supposed to get up to 95 degrees either.
