Texas Summer 2024

Was stuck on the tarmac for about 2 hours yesterday on my flight back to DEN. It was close to 90 degrees in the cabin. Everyone was fanning themselves and dripping sweat. Not good.

It really is disgusting that airlines do this. If it's more than 30 minutes, let people off the plane.

Was curious and so I did a quick check. Euro has hope of some cooler temps toward the end, like low-90s.

As for GFS, way far out into September it has 100s in Nebraska, but at least it's not here.

Talk of a big front here Labor Day weekend we shall see

Hottest day of the year yesterday. Made it to 110.

Dang! That is seriously close to being a health and safety issue at that point. Not good.

On our departure from Austin to Vancouver back in July, when we were taxiing to the takeoff runway, the air was barely coming out of the vents (open all the way), lukewarm, and wreaked of exhaust. It was sickening for a bit, but only lasted for about 15 minutes. Once airborne, it was chilly and refreshing. But seems like they could do something about the air situation before taking off and getting to gate after landing. Too many people crammed into one place.

Anyway, sorry. Got off-topic, but it's heat-related anyway, while there isn't much else to talk about.

107F at DFW airport today..sizzle continues.

I was thinking about how warm our winters have gotten, and some days that are 20+ degrees above average.

At least we don’t have to deal with those kind of extremes in the summer. Yikes.

Any summer that doesn’t make the top 10 hottest is a bonus now IMO.

The warm winter days tend to have cold days that counterbalance. It's the steady runs of days that are 5-10 degrees above average making all the seasons warmer.

I mean we had a high of 6(5th coldest day ever on record in Tulsa) and a low below zero in January and the winter was still one of the warmest ever here because of December and especially February. We've had way colder winters never get that cold

Any chance it makes through North Texas?

I am trying to push the front farther south to stop it, I am expecting low 90s as the high today

Low 80s at lunch

Fall is coming

ENS and OPs lowers overall 500mb heights end of the month. Seasonal stepdown is potentially on the horizon.

Yep, finally, maybe, lol

However, there is an intriguing "cooler" risk cluster showing up in the ensembles. That would be awesome if it were to trend true.

More talk about a big front Labor Day weekend from Ponder weather in DFW

One of our mets saying 50s possible for lows

[rwfromkansas]

Any cooling is great. My grass looks crap despite watering deeply. Only so much you can do at that temp.

We need rain and cooler, even low-90s will feel much better.

[gpsnowman]

98 degrees at 9:08. Kill me.

[mmmmsnouts]

I don't water because my yard is mostly weeds, but it's still green out there. That rogue early morning setup we had a couple Saturdays ago ended up training over my house. Still would like it to be 10 or 20 or 60 degrees cooler though.
