August 29, 20241 yr Author Yeah it didn't hit 100 14 times before Mid July. It maybe hit it once or twice tops. I'm no climate change denier, but inflating numbers to help your argument is not the right way to go in this day and age.

August 30, 20241 yr 10-day forecast is putting out some rather enticing teasers for the end of next week. Edited August 30, 20241 yr by Storm the Field
August 31, 20241 yr Dallas just doesn't want to cool down. High off by 4 degrees so far today and getting worse. I was hoping today was the day. Hopefully tomorrow

September 1, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, closetohumping said: My area in California is gonna hit mid 90s next week
September 1, 20241 yr Forecast low for next Tuesday is 69. Just thought that would interest the group. Is that when Houston is getting hit by the next hurricane? And bitching about 90's in Cali? Go surfing.
September 1, 20241 yr Felt like fall this morning in Brazoria. In the low mid 70s, cloudy, and windy. Got a lot of work done on the kids treehouse. No 90s in the 10 day forecast. Upper 60s for the lows next weekend. Blast furnace is done.
September 2, 20241 yr Not a single high in the 90's for The Woodlands 10-day forecast. Even see a couple of lows in the 60's. I will not declare the blast furnace dead until Halloween, but if the worst is over I'll take this summer every time going forward.
September 2, 20241 yr Forecasts are pretty well locked in agreement with a moderate cool front pushing south late this week, ushering in much drier air. Dew points expected to drop into the 50's and morning temps on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday will likely touch mid 60's and daytime highs shouldn't make it out of the 80's. Quite rare to get a front this early in September. On average, usually doesn't arrive until ~9/20. Sometimes comes as late as 10/15. A front arriving prior to 9/10 only happens about 10% of the time or less. Edited September 2, 20241 yr by Storm the Field
September 3, 20241 yr Projected dewpoints at noon on Sunday. Temps in the mid 80's with dewpoints in the 50's is about as nice as it can get in early September.
September 3, 20241 yr Summers in Phoenix are notoriously hot. But after two punishing summers of record-breaking heat, the latest milestone, set Tuesday, may be the most ominous yet. At 11 a.m. local time, temperatures in Phoenix hit 100 degrees for the 100th day in a row. The longest previous 100-degree streak was 76 days in 1993. In other words, this year has seen an uninterrupted stretch of 100-degrees days at least 3½ weeks longer than in any other year since records began in 1896.
September 5, 20241 yr About 48 more hours of clouds, scattered showers and humidity and then skies should clear as much drier air starts rolling through Saturday afternoon with the arrival of the first Fall Teaser Front. Saturday night through Monday morning will be the nicest stretch of this short-lived treat. Muggier conditions return on Tuesday. Pretty much everywhere in the State will see some cooler temps this weekend, but it will be more pronounced away from the coast. Houston likely to only drop to high 60's, while Austin and Dallas should hit low 60's. Edited September 5, 20241 yr by Storm the Field
September 5, 20241 yr Just took a walk lunch and, for Austin... in early September? This kicks so much ass!
September 5, 20241 yr 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.

Saturday night low of 56 is gonna be absolutely glorious.

Sitting out by the firepit on Saturday is gonna be heaven.
September 5, 20241 yr For both, may the weather remain calm, the beer cold, and may doves shit on your head.
September 6, 20241 yr I'm watching the game at my brother-in-law's house Saturday. Forecast is ominous, I'm bringing hot chocolate. Brrr.

So while there'll be beers a plenty, and plenty cold, I'll probably keep it pretty light. And since I'll have them with me, I'd venture to guess I don't even shoot a full box over 3 hunts. So long as they have fun and we have a good visit with the 50-75 family members that will be out there....that's all that matters. Edited September 6, 20241 yr by Trey3216

Because that feels like Christmas.
September 8, 20241 yr While I'm currently loving the past few days, next weekends forecast just jumped up to the mid 90s which means high 90s and a heat index 10 degrees higher than that. That is outrageous!
September 9, 20241 yr Author What a wonderful weekend. Played soccer yesterday morning in the 60's and this morning almost felt like I needed a jacket. Blastfurnace is over right? ..... right? .... le sigh.

Just so smooth and treated you right for the most part, other than few cigarette burns here or there...or so I've been told.

This weekend felt like the hooker came back into the room, stuck her hand down your pants, and then her phone rang so she left.

September 10, 20241 yr Welp, that cool down was pretty nice for the 60 or so hours that it lasted. Right back to mid-Summer this coming weekend. Mid 90's Friday through Sunday. Luckily the pool has ticked down a few degrees following the cool front and rain last week and is somewhat refreshing again vs. feeling like bath water. Being that it's still technically Summer until the 22nd, I don't HATE the 91/75 forecast for basically every day next week. Would like to see some more rain though.

Being that it's still technically Summer until the 22nd, I don't HATE the 91/75 forecast for basically every day next week. Would like to see some more rain though. Was talking to my wife about the "timing of the arrival of tolerable weather" in September. I've been dove hunting and attending UT football games for decades. I am well-tuned in to 1) how shitty hot September can be, and 2) when the weather tips towards becoming tolerable. When I got to Austin pushing 40 years ago, I'd tell you that you should circle September 20th on your calendar as the date most likely to start the run of relatively pleasant temps. Over that 40 year period, that date has become more like September 25th-26th. The front this weekend (and I dove hunted in those temps, it was amazing) was a welcome outlier. But, we see the return to the norm in the forecast. Our hot weather starts sooner than it used to. It goes longer than it used to. And while it's hot, it's hotter than it used to be. That's just the way it be.
September 10, 20241 yr The dip in temperature was a little too much in the mornings the last couple of days. The afternoons were perfect though. I'm cool with mid 90's temperature for now. Anything under 100 is appreciated.

Spring 100 m, wait 20 minutes. Do a couple of long jumps, wait 30 minutes. Try to train handoffs on the 4x100 and fail. Gah. The only thing more boring than track is field.

September 13, 20241 yr This farenheit bullshit needs to end and we need to join the rest of the globe and go celsius. I'd much rather say its 37 degrees than 100 degrees. Think of all the climate problems we can change with that.
September 13, 20241 yr I have to keep telling myself anything under 100 from June-Sept is a win. But yea, this is bullshit and is a bullshit next 7 days
