Record-breaking heat returns this week

Sep 4, 2023 | kwtx.com | Jillian Grace

A few lucky Central Texans were able to see a few drops of rain fall from the sky Labor Day, but we were all unlucky in the temperature department as we had another round of triple digit heat. We are now at 6 days in a row of 100°+ temperatures and have officially hit the triple digit mark for the 60th time this year. We’re unfortunately forecasting triple digit heat to continue right through the weekend and we’re even expecting record breaking heat at that.
Not a washout Sunday, but scattered rain chances return

After a pleasant start to Labor Day Weekend Saturday morning, the heat cranks back up for the afternoon. Expect lots of sunshine today and we’ll have that dry weather continue too. If you’re heading out to McLane Stadium to watch the Baylor Bears this evening, it’s going to be toasty. Highs today are like what we saw the past few days and range from the upper 90s to low 100s across Central Texas..

September 1st marked the start of Meteorological fall, but unfortunately it didn’t feel like it one bit. The high hit 100° Friday afternoon - Which extends our streak to 3 days and brings the total of 100° days up to 57 for the year. For Labor Day weekend we’re expecting more of the same hot and dry conditions. Now Labor Day marks the unofficial end to summer and the weather is looking to corporate for any last minute summer activities as we’ll continue to feel that summer warmth.
We’re not as hot for a few days this week

Finally some rain!! It sure was a nice treat across Central Texas after an extremely long stretch without any rainfall. Our streak of 56 days without any rain and our 71 day streak without measurable rainfall finally came to a close Sunday. Unfortunately, after those rain chances yesterday, the faucet looks to shut off for most of us the rest of the week.
“Cold” Front arrives today and brings back rain but not so much of a cool down

We’ve been dealing with record-breaking and downright brutal heat across Central Texas these past few days. Record highs were broken on Thursday, Friday, and again on Saturday. Saturday’s official high was 107° which breaks the old record high of 105° set back in 2011. We have another day of scorching hot temperatures today, but there is a change heading our way too. Before the change arrives, an Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until 9PM.

On Wednesday, our thermometers climbed above 100° for the 50th time this year and for the 8th day in a row… But if you thought today was hot… Just wait for the heat that’s about to build back in today and hang around into the weekend. Record highs are back to being threatened for the next 3 days (Thursday through Saturday). The record high for Thursday is 106° set back in 2011, 104° for Friday set back in 1990, and 105° Saturday also set back in 2011.

Although we had a “brief” break from the brutal heat, we started another triple digit streak on Wednesday and our temperatures quickly got much hotter Thursday afternoon. Dangerous heat returned across Central Texas today with highs 104° to 110°. We’re expecting this style of heat to continue into the start of next work week. Excessive Heat Warning remains in place for all of Central Texas through Friday evening (at least).
Hopefully you enjoyed the “cool down” because here comes the HEAT!

I hope you’ve been enjoying the little “cool-down” we’ve been having courtesy of the summer “cold” front that moved in early this week. The front itself brought temperatures back down to around where they should be during the summer on Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs on Wednesday were between 97° and 103°, which was just a degree or two warmer compared to Tuesday, but overall felt very much like what summer should.

We’re continuing our climb up numerous top 10 record lists as we deal with day after day of extreme heat. Look at the chart below for an up to date look at what lists were climbing up and where we’re at now compared to those years in the number 1 spots. As a reminder, continue practicing that heat and fire safety. We’re still very hot and extremely dry. Continue to use caution while spending time outdoors.
