Yesterday in Austin was gorgeous.  Woke up to high 40s and had dinner outside in the 70s.

Yes I enjoyed that ONE day of Autumn that we've had so far.

Next week might actually be pleasant.

Current forecast for Houston. Lower humidity to start the week will produce some overnight cooling and finally allow us to drop into the low 60's in the mornings and evenings. Dewpoints in the 30's on Thursday and Friday.

Okay cool so earlier this afternoon it was feels like 95 again and now we're a week into November.

That's what's pissing me off the most.  85 degrees in November?  Not ideal, but I can tolerate it if the humidity wasn't 200 god damn percent.

At least you have Whataburger and now a Portillo's

Another strong dose of humidity today. Good news is that a weak front is heading this direction. Should reach Austin area late tonight and start dropping humidity levels throughout the day tomorrow. Will take longer to reach the coast, as the Houston area will likely remain muggy until Sunday evening.

Conditions look to improve next week, with humidity backing off and morning/evening lows dropping down to seasonal levels.

When do we get 4 days of a hard freeze before Summer comes back in March? Asking for my plants.

The front came through here. It's an awesome 52 degrees right now with clearing skies and a nice breeze.

Normally I can keep my house at 75 degrees and be fine.  With this soup in the air, I have the AC set to 72 and it feels like 90 in here.  It fucking sucks.

Saw the feels like was 94 yesterday so I took a peek at the temp in Santa Fe where I would like to move someday. Feels like 23. Something in between those would be nice.

[Chet Steadman 940]

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.  

[miguelito 11198]

Good thing there are no housing developments going in that area.

Edit, mayor of San Marcos just said we have plenty of water. So we can build and sell water.

Feels hotter than that rn. My car said 88. Fuck this shit. 

[Storm the Field 5270]

At least it's looking like we'll have some decent mornings this coming week. Should be in the low 60's in Houston, high 50's in Austin. Another weak, short-lived Pacific front supposed to pass through Texas over the course of Wednesday, which should make for some pleasant weather on Thursday and Friday.

Will continue to be low to mid 80's in the afternoons, but not oppressively humid. Baby steps.

This shit is so fucked it's literally making me care less about the rest of my life.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2852]

Legit cold front coming Thanksgiving-ish with some staying power. Talking highs in 50s and 30s at night for a few days.
 

Feel free to neg if it craps out. 

[jimmyjazz 45492]

16 days out?

[Storm the Field 5270]

Nicest morning in a long while today. Took the dogs for a long walk as soon as the same came up. A little warmer and more humid tomorrow but then another short front rolling through tomorrow evening. Thursday and Friday look awesome. Highs in the mid 70's, lows in the low 50's. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19116]

About fucking time.

Haven't seen that far out, but GFS is showing our first true Canadian cold front (vs. the weak Pacific fronts we've been seeing) making its way to Texas a little over a week from now. Highs in the low 60's, lows in the high 40's on the forecast for 11/20-22. 

 

[Storm the Field 5270]

Projected dewpoints at 6 pm on Thursday.
