Texas Climate Report: February 1999

February 1999 turned out to be another warm month for the residents of Texas. All of the first-order stations in Texas reported above normal mean temperatures for the month. Departures from normal ranged from +5.5°F in El Paso to +9.5°F in Austin. On the other hand, precipitation was way below normal for almost all of Texas during February. Brownsville was the only first-order station to report above normal precipitation with a monthly total of 1.50". Abilene received no precipitation in February equaling the all time record for the driest February. College Station broke the 25-year-old record for the driest February ever with a precipitation total of only 0.14".

The month began with above normal temperatures and little in the way of storm systems for the Lone Star State. The night of February 6th did however bring a low-pressure system that triggered strong thunderstorms in northeastern Texas. Denton, Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin Counties had numerous reports of 0.75" size hail and damaging winds from the eastward moving thunderstorms. As soon as the low-pressure systems trailing cold front passed through Texas the skies once again cleared and dried out.

Temperatures were quite warm from the 6th to the 11th throughout Texas causing many temperature records to be broken around the state. For instance, five new highest minimum temperature records were set for Austin (67°F), San Antonio (67°F), College Station (67°F), Houston (69°F) and Midland (49°F) on the 6th alone. On the 8th, San Angelo set a new record high temperature with the mercury reaching as high as 87°F. Houston also broke the high temperature record for the 11th with 82°F.

The second half of February continued to bring little in the form of precipitation to the cities and towns of Texas. Temperatures remained above normal with storm systems opting for the northern route leaving Texas to deal with persistent dry weather. Concern began to deepen for the extremely dry topsoil in southern Texas, where corn, cotton, and sorghum planting was underway. With February ending, San Antonio has only reported 0.09" of rain for the year-to-date. San Antonio and Midland also experienced their warmest February since 1976.
