DoctorMu dont think it will be around too long, maybe a week at most, with el nino i expect these heat ridges will be more transitory and not permanently stuck , definitely do not expect a repeat of last summer where the ridge just set on top of us all summer
I do see a stretch of low to mid 90’s, but the 100’s should stay in west /central texas , thanks goodness for el nino

El Nino sometimes doesn't have a big impact on summer weather in SETX, except a lower risk of a major hurricane. We still have a window until June 10th or so.

If the Death Ridge establishes itself during June, instead of July that's usually not a good sign. We'll see.

We have upper level vortices on the SJT that flirt with Texas for the next 10-12 days, then the SJT lifts about June 13 on GFS. By June 15 virtually all models and ensembles agree on zonal flow, GFS lift from our area, and a TX DR.

You can see the stronger upperlevel winds literally to around the Death Ridge.

The easterlies are already starting in Florida. They'll see rain every other day or more until the end of September.

As Jerry Reed once sang: She got the Goldmine, and I got the Shaft.

El Niño or La Niña doesn’t seem to have any impacts on FL weather. Dry there during the winters and wet during the summers. And most temps there don’t ever get above 95°F.

There is a remote chance of it developing.

Kinda irritated that tonight, on Fox 26, Rameisha Shade talked about summer starting in 3 weeks, versus educating the public on what the meteorological summer is.

Tell me about it. My wife and I lived in Florida before moving to Texas. A typical summer day would be like yesterday, except a rain storm from the easterlies would drift through about 3 pm, leaving a cool late afternoon evening for a run. Sprinklers systems were needed more in the winter than summer due to the mild, sunny, and dray weather. Often the opposite here.

30 day forecasts are useless. Get out a ouija board instead.

Of course.

Like clockwork June means 90s virtually every day...except for the 100°F days!
