Texas Climate Report: January 2007

During the month of January in an El Nino year, Texas would normally expect below average temperature with above average precipitation. January 2007 was exactly that. No stations in the state reported above average temperatures. The closest stations to average were Wichita Falls, which was 0.5°F below normal, and Port Arthur, which was 0.4°F below normal. Eight station reported average temperatures at least 3.0°F below normal. Four of those eight stations reported average temperatures at least 4.0°F below normal. San Angelo and Midland reported the largest departures from normal with an average temperature 4.5°F below normal. The month started off warm with temperatures reaching the upper 60s and lower 70s in many locations around the state. However, a strong Arctic front pushed its way across the state beginning on the 11th in Amarillo and moving across the state over the next few days. With the jet stream split, an abundance of moisture was in place over the state as this strong front pushed through. The combination of the strong front and the moisture lead to a dangerous winter weather situation. Icy conditions plagued areas of the state from Dallas/Fort Worth to Houston. The temperatures remained below freezing in most locations on the 15th-17th allowing the ice to accumulate. Temperatures remained chilly as another front pushed across the state on the 21st-22nd.

Many of these fronts provided the lift needed to create precipitation. With the jet stream bringing in moist air, the passage of these fronts brought the state an abundance of precipitation. As was the case for below average temperatures, all of the stations in the state reported above average precipitation. Eleven stations reported precipitation totals at least twice the average total. El Paso reported 4 times its normal precipitation with a total of 1.81". Victoria, Del Rio, and Austin each reported more than 3 times their monthly precipitation averages. Austin reported 3.68" in one 24 hour period, which is 1.47" greater than its normal monthly total.

The United States Drought Monitor still has the Central and Southwest portions of the state under drought conditions. However, during the course of the month there was great improvement in the Eastern and North Central portions of the state. These portions of the state were listed in moderate and severe drought conditions at the beginning of this month, but with the abundant rainfall and colder temperatures conditions in these areas have improved greatly.
