weird weather in texas

[moonshinegnomie]

last night in georgetown texas (just outside austin) it was 82 degrees at midnight
an hour later at 1:10am it had spiked to 99 degrees
another hour later and it was back down to 84 degrees.

The national weather service sayd it was a heat burst cause by rapidly descending air in a decaying thunderstorm. compressional air causes the air to rapidly heat up as it descends

1. I hate when it warms up after the sun goes down. I've lived in "tornado alley" all my life and

that usually means bad weather on the way.

3. ive heard of weird things like that in the mountains

in south dakota the temperature once rose from -4 to 45 in 2 minutes. a couple hours later the temp went from 54 to -4 in 27 minutes

the temperature change was enough to crack plate glass windows
