Texas Climate Report: October 2009

The month of October was a fairly wet month for the eastern part of the state while the western and south parts of the state were drier than normal. October began with a bang in Johnson County, where a severe thunderstorm brought winds in excess of 80 mph. All of Texas was affected by several cold fronts, with a progressive weather pattern that was seemingly different every day. For the month, a combination of these fronts and rainy days kept temperatures below normal in North and Central Texas. Several cities in the Panhandle of Texas saw temperatures dip to record lows the morning of the 2nd. The cold spot was Dimmit, where the mercury dipped to 28°F, which was in stark contrast to the high temperature of 95°F recorded two days earlier in nearby Plainview. The rest of the state saw temperatures near normal for the month. Unsettled weather in the final third of the month was brought by remnants of Hurricane Rick. Much of the eastern half of the state saw heavy rainfall, and several tornadoes were reported on the 29th near the Texas-Louisiana border in Northeast Texas. The final few days of October saw a high pressure system that brought clear skies around much of the state, which was an October rarity in some areas but made for good Halloween weather.

The rains in South Central Texas were extremely beneficial, greatly improving the drought conditions that were present going into the month. Flash flooding plagued much of the northeastern quarter of the state during October, causing numerous traffic accidents, road closures, and unfortunately, a few fatalities. San Antonio received nearly 12” of precipitation for the month, with 5.42" falling on the 4th alone, helping improve a water supply that had been very low for some time in the area. Although portions of South Texas have seen improvement in drought conditions, Corpus Christi and much of the Coastal Bend has not received enough rainfall to break an exceptional drought that has been present for some time. By the end of October, Corpus Christi was 15.88" below normal for the year, less than half of the precipitation the city normally receives. For the month, Port Arthur received the most rain out of the first-order stations receiving nearly 15 inches of rain, though radar estimates in far Northeast Texas indicate some areas may have received over 20 inches of precipitation during the month.
