Yeah still a pretty hot summer. Only looks cool if you compare it to 2023 and 2022.
A week away from the first day of fall. Ugh.

Blech as of today we should be crossing into the upper 80s for highs and upper 60s for lows but instead 97 and 76 and don't even have low 90s forecast until the 26th (when we should be 88 and 67).
Basically peak summer weather, but that's not unique to Texas though. Even as far north as North Dakota, Michigan, and Maine it's happening, and everywhere in between. As far west as Denver too. Only the west coast is seeing near to below normal temps, but they're expected to rise back to above normal even in California this weekend and next week. Only the Seattle area is staying below normal. As far as the widespread September heatwave in the eastern 2/3 of the country, it's fairly unprecedented this deep into September and it's expected to last the rest of the month -- no cool front in sight, sadly. Bizarre.
Even places like Minnesota, Michigan and most of PA are seeing 15+ degree above average temps through the rest of September and above average humidity despite below average precipitation. That's because there hasn't been an autumn cool front propagating west to east yet and the first one typically arrives by the second week of September but there's not one in forecast for at least 2 weeks.
Forecast is annoying
As someone who likes to travel back and forth from San Antonio to Michigan around this time of year, around early fall to have a cool start to my autumn, that's probably the worst possible case scenario you can imagine. Can't even go to my usual favorite spot to get out of the heat this year around.Forecast is annoying
And the "near normal" along the East Coast is only due to the trough bringing sustained rain.
Ugh ing heat index 107 right now at 3PM
baseline bum , Happy Autumn!It's Fall!!
Low to mid 90s and zero precip in forecast every single day through October 7th: https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l...4a40fb45222c37
Happy fall, guys.
At least we're not in Florida, I guess.
We were supposed to *maybe* get rain today but we didn't.
Gotta love that compressional heating ahead of a cold front. 93 already at noon on September 25th. Though isn't that cold front supposed to die before it gets to us anyways? Looks like it's by Killeen right now.
There are a lot of phenomena that are not explained well now.
What the fk is compressing the air? And if air is compressed, which causes it to heat, why does it not expand? How does it stayed compressed? Its not like an iron pressure cooker surrounds the air.
Lots of stuff to look up for me.
We need frkn rain.
Man I was hoping you'd go study that and explain it to me.
Ever since I heard the one of the meteorologists mention compressional heating ahead of fronts on KSAT though it seems to hold, at least in summer and fall.
Okay.
I got it.
It should be a short lived phenomena based on what I understand.
These things always "attempt" towards some sort of equilibrium (due to entropy)
Some things take a long time. Like the energy not spread evenly throughout the Universe.
But this is very localized. I guess my time frame is way off due to really not understanding the depth of this phenomena Im guessing.
Basically you get cold dense air moving towards warmer less dense air mass and the cold dense air compresses the air in the warmer air so there is even more friction in the already hot air and it gets even hotter.Man I was hoping you'd go study that and explain it to me.
Ever since I heard the one of the meteorologists mention compressional heating ahead of fronts on KSAT though it seems to hold, at least in summer and fall.
But if I try to understand what is occurring along the boundary of these two air masses and then in the air that surrounds the aforementioned air masses it does not make sense unless the warm air gets trapped in a depression in the land or something. ie I dont get why this lasts so long. The time it takes for mixing and causing the density and temp to equal out seems like it would be quicker but... I just dont know.
Thermodynamics seems fairly straightforward, especially on an in home level (yes I have played around with all sorts of stupid demonstrations and my wife gets mad)
But on closer examination its not so straightforward for me. Learning how to cook with heat and even keeping your house at the temperature you want all requires a little practical understanding.
My favorite thing to do is fishing and I learned some very good stuff as a kid that I did not realize at its core was related to thermodynamics. Everyone knows it to some degree which is why we are probably "all" interested in it.
Yeah, the lawn is starting to resemble West Texas/New Mexico at this time tbh
"Cold" front
Going to lower temps by a whopping 4-5 degrees
Whoop-dee-doo!! It's Fall in Texas!
The hurricane pushing the high pressure west doesn't help either
We're ing 98 today, ten degrees above average. Cool summer my ass.
It's not summer, it's fall now. Meteorologically speaking.
Summer was cooler and wetter than the last two by far, you've gotta admit. The 100+ and 105+ thingy, this is fine dog and flames cartoon thingy, wasn't a thing this year like the last two.
I don't think we see 100 again this year.
Fall 2024 (Sept-Nov) will indeed be well above average (and drier) in SATX if nothing else due to La Nina's arrival.
