Tomorrow for us is rain and a high of 57--high 70s for the remainder of the week.

I actually get ticked off at 80 in January, LOL! I like winter!! I don't like winter temps above 60, and daytime highs of 40 are better.
haha I prefer my summers to have triple digits from April Fools to around Halloween.Midland was below normal.We had way less triple digits than I anticipated.Thankful for the rain though.Haha....guess were on the complete polar opposite ends of the spectrum lol.

We certainly are.....LOL!!

I would love to never see triple digits again--90 or below is much better!

Triple digits for that long normally means severe drought, brown, tinder-dry brush and extremely high fire danger.

I can remember one summer driving home from Midland--trees were completely bare, everything was brown--it looked like a winter landscape in the middle of August.

Not fun.

El Nino generally means more rain but not necessarily extreme cold. The cloudy nights from the rain means that the nights are usually above average, but the days are not all that warm. So you get a lot of rainy days with lows in the lower 50's and highs in the upper 50's or stuff like that. It's the type of weather that helps refill the reservoirs.

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

More rain right now is a good thing. Just not in one day. But Texas as a whole is getting better.

Life-long Texan, but last winter was enough for us. We looked at the triple digit summers, OMG ice storms, etc, and said ENOUGH! We are now in southwest FL, and the winter storms can rage, the summer bake and the land dry out in Texas. But we won't be there any more.

Texas is a great place to raise kids, have a job, etc, but love FL and its even temps.

If you guys are really interested in the winter for Texas go to Storm2k.org and look at the Texas 2014 Fall thread and the Texas 2014 Winter Thread, there are some pretty good Pro Mets who post there, You have to have an account to post there, which has to be approved by admin. The 2 biggest play makers for this Winter is the Alaskan warm pool that causes blocking in the west. (that's what we had last year) and this year there maybe a Greenland Blocking. What this does is channel all the cold air down the central U.S towards Texas with know where to escape. This Winter could be a lot like the Winters of the early years of the 1900s and of course the very snowy 2009-2010.
