Meh sunset doesn't even reach 7:30PM until September 22nd, day after the equinox. Probably will be two to three more weeks of 100s or very close to it.
BTW, you see how we're crushing the record for hottest month ever recorded here? Highest monthly average ever was 101.7 in July 2022 and factoring today's high of 100 in gives us an average of 103.333 for the month 28 days in. So we'd need to average a high lower than 88.1 over the next three days to not take the record.
I like to make most of yall cry and it's as easy as posting a photo of Trump. So be it!
8 PM and it’s real nice outside
Just saying
, it actually got to 102 before the rain for today's official high in San Antonio
NOAA's 7-day is all 100-102
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...2=-98.5054&e=1
Looks like 70 days of 100+ is very much in reach. This forecast gets us to 68 by September 5th.
EDIT: we actually got to 100 today. So this forecast gets us to 69 by September 5th.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Idalia was
located near la ude 27.7 North, longitude 84.5 West. Idalia is
moving toward the north near 18 mph (30 km/h). A northward to
north-northeastward motion is expected through tonight, with
Idalia's center forecast to reach the Big Bend coast of Florida on
Wednesday morning. After landfall, the center of Idalia is forecast
to turn toward the northeast and east-northeast, moving near or
along the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina late
Wednesday and Thursday.
Hurricane Hunter aircraft data indicate that maximum sustained
winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional
strengthening is forecast, and Idalia is expected to become a
major hurricane during the next few hours before it reaches the Big
Bend coast of Florida. Idalia is likely to still be a hurricane
while moving across southern Georgia, and possibly when it reaches
the coast of Georgia or southern South Carolina on Wednesday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles
(260 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure based on Hurricane Hunter
aircraft observations is 958 mb (28.29 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Idalia can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC,
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Wakulla/Jefferson County line, FL to Yankeetown, FL...12-16 ft
Ochlockonee River, FL to Wakulla/Jefferson County line, FL...8-12 ft
Yankeetown to Chassahowitzka, FL...7-11 ft
Chassahowitzka, FL to Anclote River, FL...6-9 ft
Carrabelle, FL to Ochlockonee River, FL...5-8 ft
Anclote River, FL to Middle of Longboat Key, FL...4-6 ft
Tampa Bay...4-6 ft
Middle of Longboat Key, FL to Englewood, FL...3-5 ft
Indian Pass, FL to Carrabelle, FL...3-5 ft
Englewood, FL to Bonita Beach, FL...2-4 ft
Charlotte Harbor...2-4 ft
Mouth of the St. Mary's River to South Santee, SC...2-4 ft
Beaufort Inlet to Drum Inlet, NC...2-4 ft
Pamlico and Neuse Rivers...2-4 ft
South of Bonita Beach to Chokoloskee, FL...1-3 ft
South Santee, SC to Beaufort Inlet, NC...1-3 ft
Drum Inlet to Duck, NC...1-3 ft
Chokoloskee, FL to East Cape Sable, FL...1-3 ft
Flagler/Volusia County Line, FL to Mouth of St. Mary's River...1-3
ft
Indian Pass to Mexico Beach...1 to 3 ft
Florida Keys...1-2 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane
warning area in Florida early Wednesday morning, with tropical
storm conditions beginning within the next few hours.
Tropical storm conditions will begin within the tropical storm
warning area along the Florida Gulf coast and the Florida west coast
soon.
Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area
along the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina Wednesday and
Wednesday night.
Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin on Wednesday in the
warning area along the east coast of Florida, Georgia, and South
Carolina, and spread into North Carolina Wednesday night and
Thursday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area in North Carolina by Thursday.
RAINFALL: Idalia is expected to produce a swath of 4 to 8 inches of
rainfall with isolated maxima up to 12 inches from the Florida Big
Bend through central Georgia and South Carolina, and through eastern
North Carolina into Thursday. These rainfall amounts will lead to
areas of flash, urban, and moderate river flooding, with locally
considerable impacts.
SURF: Swells generated by Idalia are affecting the southwestern
coast of Florida and will spread northward and westward to the
north-central Gulf coast through Wednesday. These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible tonight from the coast of
west-central Florida northward into the Florida Big Bend region.
The tornado risk will shift into southeast Georgia and the coastal
Carolinas on Wednesday.
NEXT ADVISORY

Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM EDT.
Next complete advisory at 500 AM EDT.

Forecaster Pasch
Already 97 at 1PM. Stone cold lock for 100 then.
Not a stone cold lock. TWC still saying only 99F for high.
Also, Idalia flung a 100-year-old mega oak tree ...... directly into the Florida governor's mansion in Tallahassee. I guess the weather gods telling Desantis something? Nobody was injured, but the building will need major repairs.
99 at 2PM. Probably end up 102 or so for the high.
I expect this to be an unprecedented outlier, rather than a long-term trend, similar to the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.The march to 70 continues
1. 63 days and counting in 2023 as of August 30th
2. 59 days in 2009
3. 58 days in 2022
4. 57 days in 2011
5. 41 days in 2013
6. 36 days in 2020
6. 36 days in 1998
8. 33 days in 1948
Also, similar to the 2005 hurricane season, the 2004 hurricane season was also among one of the next-worse, similar to how 2022 heat in Texas was among the next-worse tier beyond the all-time hottest year in 2023.
We will likely get to 70 100+ days. 2023 will go down as THE outlier, the exception to the rule. The cool-ish 2024 will surprise everyone including the extreme climate alarmists.
LOL calling it an outlier when it's a lock to be the second year in a row of the hottest summer ever recorded here and the current capstone to a 15 year trend of major warming.
What a nice evening
Unless our high is 61 or below tomorrow, August 2023 goes down as the hottest month ever recorded in San Antonio
August 2023 is officially the Hottest Month in the History of San Antonio, Texas USA.
Though, airport unlikely to get to 100 today
99 at 2:55PM. It'll probably get there. If it stops at 100 today it'll make August's average high 103 on the dot.
And it's 100 now at the airport at 3:08
70 days, 80 may even be within reach with us at 64 already and this forecast
ing 104 back on Friday
Im measuring 102.5 with 33% humidity.ing 104 back on Friday
Thats death for a long ride. Not going.
I fkn cant stand being inside during most of work and then I cant exercise outside.
This is getting absolutely stupid. A couple more years of this and Im out of this state.
And I really like San Antonio and the great bike trail and swimming facilities.
And summer fishing on the kayak on a very inconsistent basis because its unbearable. Thats the icing for leaving. Gotta figure out where.
Family meeting!
It's great for like 4 months out of the year, still
Looks like there is some relief at the end of the tunnel though. No more 100 degree days after September 10th.ing 104 back on Friday
Hope so but Days 8-14 are way less accurate than Days 1-7 on a forecast.
