This morning I heard it will be hotter in Boston than Austin with temps reaching above 100 likely today.
Do those two cities rhyme when you say them? They do to me.

Interesting. So do you say something like 'Aust'n', the same way that I say 'Bost'n'? I say 'Austin', the same as Austin Powers. I wouldn't pronounce Boston as 'Bostin'. That's a word that people from Birmingham and the West Midlands use to mean 'good'.

In 'Boston' the second vowel is a schwa. In 'Austin' it a slightly 'i-ish' schwa.

Your Boston and mine are the same in that case, but there's a much stronger 'i' in my Austin. One of my coworkers is called Austin. I'll make a point of listening to how others pronounce his name.

Potential Tropical Cyclone One has formed since this time yesterday. Areas to the south of Austin are likely to get more rain, especially the coast, particularly around Corpus Christi according the NWS prediction. I'll be happy if it breaks this run of 98° highs and 77/78° lows we've had for the past four days.

The main rainfall chances from the Gulf disturbance have moved further south. A look at the radar shows rain bands heading this way but already thinning out.

The hourly, 3-day pages are back, but on a different server and looking slightly different, so I can start doing this again: Heat index 98.
The other NWS pages I use have also had a makeover during the past few months. The first one since I started using them several years ago I think.

It looks like Beryl's (now category 5) path has taken a slightly more northern path and is heading almost directly for Jamaica, then turning more north than before once it gets into the Bay of Campeche, so the southern tip of Texas will be heavily affected, and that's reflected in the forecast below for this time next week. It'll put an end to our run of scorchios.
