Christmas is the hottest day on and already warm 14-day forecast. Or course lol

I mean, no, not really? It’s 62° and rainy and the low today will be…56°. Average high on 12/13: 61° Average low on 12/13: 41°

I miss cold Decembers and Januarys. Saturday and Sunday were perfect CenTex winter weather. Cold, rainy, barely making it out of the low 50s…twenty-four hours later, record Austin high. Cool day today, then back to the 70s by mid-week. Overnight lows approaching our average highs. Sure seems like things are trending toward another 80° Christmas.

Kxan currently showing today’s high of EIGHTY THREE as the coolest high temperature for the next week. Sure would be nice if one you would post one of those long-range, 14-21 day models with lots or blues and whites for Central Texas.

That seems like an incredible reach. In fact, I think you would see the exact opposite. Cutting off the vehicular traffic would only further depress these 4-5 blocks. Some of those existing businesses along the stretch would likely immediately begin relocating elsewhere as soon as their leases would allow them to do so.

We were already close and -although I don't think we'll beat it- the tail-end of this summer has us approaching dangerously close to 2007 territory.

I love OddLots but when McGellicott speaks I’m not even certain half the words he’s using are in English.

MIA just CrowdStrike’d this thread with his post

Absolutely zero complaints but it’s been wild the number of days in June and July this year where the wind has been coming in from the N and NE.

It would be interesting to see a comparison of this summer over the past 10-15 previous. We've got a lonnngg way to go but this has felt to be among the "nicest" 2-3 summers since '07.

Travis watershed finally getting its turn. Nearly 3" thus far since midnight in Johnson City.

It’s going to rain everywhere but Austin today isn’t it?

Tornado Watch, eh?

Historical high temperature talk not going away. Pretty rare going back 100 years, absolutely. Pretty rare in these modern end-of-Earth Central Texas times? Not really. I went back just a few years and found the following: 2023: 94 degrees April 15th (First 95 or above June 14th) 2022: First 95 degree day occurred on April 4 (96*). Interestingly, everyday from May4th to May 21st that year was between 92-101* 2021: 94 degrees on May 4 (95* June 9th) 2020: 95 degrees on April 8 2019: 95 degrees on June 7th (multiple 93s and 93s in April and May) 2018: 97 degrees on May 15th 2017: 95 degrees on April 28th 2016: 95 degrees on June 16th (best Austin summer since 2007)
