Is it Spring yet? Looking forward to a 'warm' weekend though.

Yes, we will have summer interns this year. They won't be paying positions, just a chance for college students to get the feel for what it's like in the real world for a week. The payback is that they'll have an edge over other students when we hire more meteorologists. You're probably a little old to apply, Ed. But you can always stop by for a visit if you want.Ed Mahmoud wrote: Do you guys have Summer interns who can do a ground temp/dewpoint versus hail size correlation? Well, will you have any Summer interns?
I interned all six years of college (I partied, and engineering was about 140 hours to graduate).
I think we're beyond the freezing temps and frozen precip threat now, but I expect a much cooler than normal spring as well. I wonder what the latest date is for Bush (IAH) to reach 80 degrees? We may not get there in March, though we saw 80 degrees a number of times LAST January and February.weatherrabbit wrote:hints of spring, saw robins sunday...am hopeful thats this winter maybe leaving soon...
The last time March had a freeze was in 2002. It was also the last time Houston saw below 25 degrees Fahrenheit temperature.Ed Mahmoud wrote:We had a freeze in March 4 or 6 years back, IIRC.
It is interesting you ask what the latest date for KIAH to reach 80 degrees. Going back to 1970 because records started at June of 1969.wxman57 wrote: I think we're beyond the freezing temps and frozen precip threat now, but I expect a much cooler than normal spring as well.

The latest freeze on record was April 13, 1940 when we had a record low of 32. Of course that wasn't at KIAH. Found this in Tim Heller's blog I've been in Houston 37 years and I remember at least one time in march we had a freeze. Can't tell you the year except I know it is after 1972 because I waas married. I believe it was on March 20.Ptarmigan wrote:The last time March had a freeze was in 2002.
