Texas Climate Report: October 2004
Abnormal weather categorized October for the state of Texas. The month began with cold, wet weather due to several cold fronts. On the 1st and 2nd, over two inches of rain fell on Austin and Wichita Falls due to the passing front. A second cold front began to move across the state on the 4th, leaving most stations in west Texas very wet. San Angelo began the month with eight consecutive days of rain. Also on the 4th, a low pressure system to the east of Texas dropped heavy rain on the Gulf Coast. Tropical Depression Matthew formed in the Gulf during the second week of October dropping heavy rain along the coast. Galveston and Port Arthur each received over two inches of rain from the system. A cold front then began to pass over the state on the 13th, cooling temperatures well below their October normals.
Beginning on the third week of October, the previous cooler weather turned extremely warm. A high pressure system settled over the state, and temperatures rose significantly. Highs across Texas were in the upper 80s and 90s, and records were broken at many stations. Beginning on the 22nd, a cold front brought more rain to west Texas. The front stalled and then pushed northward, dropping over 4 inches of rain on Abilene from the 22nd-26th. While temperatures cooled a bit out west, highs remained in the upper 80s and near 90°F to the east. A cold front pushed across the state at the end of the final week of the month, but it stalled in central Texas bringing many showers to the state.
There was little severe weather throughout the month. Tornadoes were reported on the 4th (Galveston County), 5th (Pecos County), and 13th (Scurry County), and there were about 80 reports of hail throughout the month. Every first order station in the state had above normal temperatures for October, and several set records. Brownsville, College Station, Corpus Christi, Galveston, and Houston all had their warmest Octobers ever. Austin (3rd warmest), Dallas/Fort Worth (6th warmest), San Antonio (2nd warmest), and Waco (4th warmest) had near record months. Abilene (8.11") and San Antonio (9.47") each had their 4th wettest Octobers ever, while Waco had its 2nd wettest with 10.34". Only the extreme western, southern, and southeastern portions of the state had below normal precipitation for October.
