Texas Climate Report: January 2010
Signs of El Nino still building in the Pacific Ocean were seen statewide this month, as January was another wet and cold month for the state of Texas. Some parts of the Lone Star State saw the coldest temperatures they have seen in two decades. All first-order stations received rain, and all but six stations received more than normal rainfall. Waco received 5.30" of precipitation, including 4.50" falling in a 24-hour period from the 28th-29th. Several storm systems passed though the state, including an outbreak of severe weather on the 20th. The National Weather Service confirmed that at least five tornadoes damaged parts of East Texas, with twisters that touched down near Canton, Sulphur Springs, Larue and Poynor. There were reports of penny to golf ball-size hail and winds gusting up to 80 mph.
Temperatures this month were below normal for most of the state, in large part because of an Arctic blast that slammed the state during the first full week of 2010. Amarillo recorded a low temperature of 2°F on the morning of the 8th and the mercury in Waco dipped down to 8°F the following morning. Even typically mild Galveston recorded an average temperature departure of -5.6°F, with a low temperature of 27°F on the 9th in a place that rarely sees temperatures dip below freezing. Even with a great deal of frigid weather, 6 first-order stations had days with high temperatures in the 80s. Brownsville had five consecutive days in the 80s from the 19th-23rd, including a high of 86°F on the 23rd.
Several absolute minimum temperature records were broken during January 2010. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport recorded a morning low of 10°F, smashing the old record of 20°F set back in 1976. Also, the Austin Campy Mabry a low of 17°F broke the old record (19°F), set back in 1962. With an active Pacific Jet Stream typical of El Nino expected to persist into February, cooler and wetter than normal weather is forecast to stick around according to the Climate Prediction Center. This long-range forecast should help the last few counties in South Texas that are still dealing with drought conditions.
