It's one of those clear sunny mornings that you only get after a storm

Rain cleans the air

Here are the maximum temperature forecasts for the next week, including today's:

Thursday 65°F
Friday 72°F
Saturday 84°F
Sunday 68°F
Monday 62°F
Tuesday 64°F
Wednesday 53°F

Intermittent thunder and lightning.

Pretty much constant rain

Dunno, been in bed three days, (Peering through the cyrtains it looks rainy and a touch milder)

Good thing to be ill in lousy weather. I hope you get better to appreciate the good stuff when it comes along Jules

Here; have a loo brush

Speaking of lousy weather, we've got some coming... allegedly.

So. This time two days ago the temperature was in the mid 80s F. Today it's in the mid 40s, and although they've forecast a maximum of 58F for this afternoon, I'd be surprised if it gets there.

And now there's a cold front forecast to come through on late on Tuesday/early on Wednesday which is going to be one of those 'I've just come down from the far north of Canada and I'm going to drop your temperatures by 30° in a couple of hours' cold fronts. There's rain forecast too.

Wednesday and Thursday are my days off this week

Rain? In Austin?

Won't it bring snow if it's coming down from Canada?

We've got strong northerlies bringing temps in the mid-30s and thunder for later in the day. Rain tomorrow and Thursday, then a cool change from the south It's days like this when I'm thankful for airconditioning to dip in and out of

There'll be snow for sure further north in the Panhandle - Abilene, Lubbock, Amarillo, but it rarely snows this far south. I don't think it snowed last winter but it did two winters ago. We get ice storms instead.

I don't have any official stats for you (but a quick glance at the page says you don't have any either - don't panic! I didn't actually *read* the backlog) but I thought I'd just pop by and say

IT'S COLD!


(all guesstimates)
high for today - 28F
high for tomorrow - 30F
high for wednesday - ~24F
and more of the same for the rest of the week.

And we're not even getting any snow!

Miss you loads.

*waves at broe*

Hot hot hot here. And guess who was stupid enough to have a cup of hot tea at lunchtime? It leaked out of my pores almost immediately.

It only reached 23C last night and looks set for the same tonight. 33C during the day and 85%+ humidity

Was that broelan?

Not much warmer here than in St Louis. Well, it is now, but when I woke up about three hours ago and turned on the wireless (about 7.40am) they were reporting that temperature at the time was 32F/0C, but as I listened in bed it started to warm up, and quickly - about 1°F every 14 minutes or so, and now - at 10.30am - it's 47°/8.3°. Here's a list of the overnight lows in the surrounding area:

15F/-9.4C Mullin & Llano
16F/-8.9C Jonestown
17F/-8.3C Fredericksburg
18F/-7.8C Lago Vista
18F/-7.8C Elgin & Rosanky
19F/-7.2C Dripping Springs
20F/-6.7C Austin-Bergstrom
24F/-4.4C Smithville

Let's not forget that three days ago (Saturday) it was in the mid 80s F/upper 20s C And it's forecast to get into the upper 60s F/upper teens C this afternoon Before getting even colder tonight and on Wednesday and Thursday, with a possibilty of sleet on Wednesday night

It started off chilly today and has gotten colder all day. The highest temperature of the day was at midnight (53F/11.7C) and has gone down since then. Currently 28F/-2.2C, wind chill 21F/-6.1. And it feels like it too, having just gotten in. There's preciptation out there but I wouldn't go as far as to call it rain - it's more like a heavy misting of moisture.

22C overnight, but with a wind so it wasn't too bad.

36C and humid today

38 forecast for tomorrow, then down to 27 on Saturday.

9.30am: 25°F/-4°C There's a 1/4" thick layer of ice on the cars outside my window!

Just checked the stats for Camp Mabry - it got down to 23F/-5C, which is a new record for the day, and probably what it got down around where I live (that figure in the previous post was from downtown). Not sure what the figure was from the airport but I reckon it must have been even colder. Right now it's 1pm and stil only 29/1.7 downtown. I think when I went to bed last night I saw a wind chill for downtown of around 6F/-14C

That should be '29/-1.7 downtown', of course

Oooh, thick fog

It's around 4'C out there but I'm in bed (but getting better) and it's toasty in here

A few degrees warmer today... but it hardly feels like it

I'm having difficulty imagining 1/4inch of frost

After yesterday's spectacular storms we have a clear sunny day and it's 28ish, which is perfect for drying out all the outdoor cushions and some of the indoor furnishings that got a soaking.

Not a 1/4 inch of frost FB, a 1/4 inch of ice.

Noticably warmer this evening on the way home from work (eatin dinner at midnight... not my idea of fun ). Let's have a quick butchers at the official downtown temperature...

43°F/6.1°C Positively balmy I may strip orf and sunbathe
