One of our TV mets here in Tulsa on Facebook

Edit: Another one in OKC saying the same thing

After getting a nice rain Sunday night we're ready to switch gears on Wednesday with a Red Flag Warning and then on Thursday with the first Fire Weather Watch in effect for the first time I can remember. A nice reminder that we're still in a drought.

The devil wanted a place on earth
Sort of a summer home
A place to spend his vacation
Whenever he would roam.

So he picked out Texas
A place both wretched and rough
Where the climate was to his liking
And the cowboys hardened and tough.

He dried up the streams in the canyons
And ordered no rain to fall
He dried up the lakes in the valleys
Then baked and scorched it all.

Then over his barren country
He transplanted shrubs from hell.
The cactus, thistle and prickly pear
The climate suited them well.

Now the home was much to his liking
But animal life, he had none.
So he created crawling creatures
That all mankind would shun.

First he made the rattlesnake
With it's forked poisonous tongue.
Taught it to strike and rattle
And how to swallow its young.

Then he made scorpions and lizards
And the ugly old horned toad.
He placed spiders of every description
Under rocks by the side of the road.

Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter,
Hotter and hotter still.
Until even the cactus wilted
And the old horned lizard took ill.

Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom
As any creator would
He chuckled a little up his sleeve
And admitted that it was good.

'Twas summer now and Satan lay
By a prickly pear to rest.
The sweat rolled off his swarthy brow
So he took off his coat and vest.

"By Golly," he finally panted,
"I did my job too well,
I'm going back to where I came from,
'Cause Texas is hotter than Hell

Friday is September 1st, the start to dove season in Texas and the beginning of meteorological fall no matter what the thermometer says.

With that, we’ll also have our migration from our Texas Summer 2023 thread to our Texas Fall 2023 thread. Hopefully there is cooler and wetter weather ahead between now and Thanksgiving. I mean it’s got to get cooler by Christmas, right?!?

Good riddance summer. Well, maybe I should save that until October.

I'm filing a formal protest. I can't talk about Fall weather with this Texas' oven temp set to BROIL!

So will you sign my petition? This cannot stand! And I vote that we also find wxman and his weather machine and crowbar it into oblivion. He's like Gru from Despicable Me! Evil scientist.

Mathematically, tomorrow's (August 31) average temperature at Austin Camp Mabry must be 90.5° for 2023 to tie 2011 for the hottest summer on record. The way the NWS calculates things, the average must be 91.0°.

The NWS is forecasting a high of 103° and a low of 76°, for an average of 89.5°.

August 2011 will remain the hottest month on record, with August 2023 in second and July 2023 in third.

Fall? you mean 2nd Summer....

Break out the parkas and snow shoes, it's going to be a LONG Winter

99° today....sunny....no rain....is this a Rex block or something?

Ah yes second summer...at least it's not...105.

Good riddance meteorological summer.

Look at the latest winter forecast. Supposed lots of snow for the entirety of the US except for Dallas southward

From whom? Pretty early for official stuff.

The low this morning at Austin Camp Mabry was 71°. This afternoon's high will have to be 111° (NWS calculation method) or 110° (pure mathematics) for 2023 to tie 2011 for the hottest summer on record.

A quick reanalysis of the summer so far you can kind of make the assumption the heat ridge has been extended by the -PDO cold patch to the southwest of California/Mexico and east of Hawaii. At the beginning of the season it had roots down in Mexico (June) before expanding northward.

Final summer 2023 and 2011 temperature averages at Austin Camp Mabry:

Mathematically (each day has equal weight):
89.50°...2011 (16,468÷184)
89.44°...2023 (16,457÷184)

National Weather Service's method (determine the average temperature for each month and then average the 3 monthly averages):
89.47°...2011 (268.42÷3)
89.41°...2023 (268.22÷3)
