Texas Climate Report: May 2000
After a more moderate month of April, May brought a return to above-normal temperatures, as every major station in Texas recorded mean monthly temperatures at least two degrees higher than normal, with El Paso having the greatest difference at 7.2°F above normal. Twenty-eight temperature records were set or tied, and three all-time May records were broken. Maximum temperatures soared above 100 degrees at eight stations, the highest being 110 degrees at Wichita Falls on the 23rd and 24th of the month. Despite the heat, rainfall was above-normal for eight of the 19 stations in Texas, and also in Shreveport. Houston received 12.35" of precipitation, with 7.61" falling on the 19th to 20th in a 24-hour span.
The month began with cool temperatures for much of the state as a low pressure system centered over the Edwards Plateau moved eastward through the state. Severe weather accompanied this system in portions of Texas. South Padre Island was hit by a tornado on the 2nd and by golf ball size hail on the 3rd, and 3.00" hail fell near Hill City in Hood County. However, warm temperatures and clear skies returned for most of the state on the 5th of the month. Lubbock and Midland/Odessa set seven new temperature records in an 11-day span from the 6th to the 11th.
From the 12th to the 14th, a cool front moved into the Panhandle and continued moving south through the state. Severe weather returned as tornadoes hit the Lake Whitney area on the 12th causing extensive property damage and leaving one person dead. In Bastrop, several people were injured and houses damaged by lightning strikes. The skies cleared after the 15th, however, and temperatures rose into the 90s for much of Texas.
May ended with 18 temperature records set or tied during the last 16 days of the month. On the 23rd, Lubbock tied its all-time May high temperature record of 105°F, only to break it with a temperature of 109°F degrees the next day. Del Rio also set an all-time May high temperature record, and Midland/Odessa broke its May all-time high minimum temperature record. Storms also hit portions of the state during the last two weeks of May. On the 19th, Houston Intercontinental Airport's approach control facility was flooded with a foot of water. On the 27th, 4.00" hail fell near Antelope in Jack County, and Wylie in Collin County reported 70 mph winds during a thunderstorm.
