Texas Climate Report: November 1998
The temperature situation for the month of November in Texas was pretty much the same as the situation in October. The entire Lone Star State experienced above normal mean monthly temperatures with the departures from normal ranging between 1.3°F (Waco) to 3.5°F (Brownsville). Central, Southern and Eastern Texas received above normal precipitation for the month of November. One exception was Port Arthur where only 60% of the normal precipitation for November was recorded. Areas in the Trans Pecos, High Plains and the Low Rolling Plains also experienced a relatively speaking dry November.
On the first of the month, a cool front and its associated thunderstorms swept through Texas from the west to the east. A new record 24-hour rainfall was set when the showers and storms dropped 1.96" of rain at Dallas/Fort Worth. The daily total precipitation at Austin was 1.72" where winds were also recorded gusting to 41 mph. The weather was quiet for the week following the cool front passage. Temperatures were comfortable with precipitation being very limited throughout the state. On the 5th however, Cameron County did see some wind damage and even an F2 tornado near Los Fresno when some isolated thunderstorms passed through the area.
From the 12th to the 14th a low-pressure system brought some heavy rains to the southern half of Texas. New daily rainfall records were set on the 12th for Corpus Christi, Victoria and Houston. The daily rainfall tally for Corpus Christi was 0.61" with Victoria receiving 0.50" and Houston recording an overwhelming 4.68". By the 15th of the month the system had passed and the skies dried out over Texas.
The second half of the November was much quieter with very few rain making systems reaching as far south as Texas. Sunshine was a common feature across the state with warmer air building from the south to the north as the month came to close. On the 22nd, Amarillo International Airport reached 83°F setting a new daily high temperature record, while Lubbock tied that days record high with a temperature reading of 81°F. When the month finally ended it became official that a new monthly rainfall record was set at Victoria. The precipitation total for the month was 10.11". This measurement broke the previous record monthly rainfall total of 8.68" last set in 1982.
