Texas feels extremes
1978 weather rare
Sun Theatres
By KURT ABRAHAM
Battalion Reporter
The year 1978 will be remem
bered for such events as the Camp
David summit, the U.S. recognition
of mainland China, and the triumph
of the New York Yankees, but many
Texans will remember 1978 for its
many rare weather extremes.
A recent study of Texas weather in
1978 by the Texas Department of
Water Resources confirms what
many people already suspected:
1978 was not only severe, it was
downright unusual.
George Bomar, a meteorologist
with the Weather and Modification
Technology section of the TDWR,
said it wasn’t so unusual to have some
climatic extremes. What was un
usual was the number and frequency
with which they occurred.
“The last two years have been
highly erratic, especially 1978, ” said
Bomar. “First we had one of the
snowiest winters in North Texas his
tory, including a storm that left
a foot of snow in the Panhandle in
early May. This was accompanied by
very cold temperatures that aver
aged as much as 13 degrees below
normal in some areas.”
One January day the temperature
failed to rise above freezing in Hous
ton, while residents in North Texas
had to shovel 10 times the normal
amount of snowfall from their drive
ways.
The TDWR study adds that the
weather pendulum swung com
pletely the other way as spring ar
rived. The most severe drought
since the 1950’s gripped almost all
the state with East and North Cen
tral Texas being especially hardhit.
Along with the already dry condi
tions came one of the most intense
summer heat spells of the 20th cen
tury. Temperatures over 100 de
grees during a three-week period in
July contributed to the deaths of 21
elderly resident in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area, medical authorities
said.
“Last year’s drought was only of
moderate duration, although it was
of moderate to severe intensity,’’
said Bomar. “It was probably kept
from getting any worse by the rainfall
associated with Tropical Storm
Amelia.
Amelia not only brought relief
from the drought, she brought rec
ord rainfall amounts, as thousands of
West Central Texas residents were
flooded out of their homes. The
storm dumped 29.05 inches of rain
on the town of Albany on Aug. 4, the
greatest amount measured at any of
Texas’s 598 National Weather Serv
ice observing stations.
Bomar said extreme weather
spells usually occur every 20 to 22
years and usually last from three to
five years.
He said the severe drought of the
fifties lasted from 1950 to 1957.
“ We re really due for another spell
of some sort. Just what it will be, we
can’t tell at this point.”
The National Weather Service’s
extended forecast for 1979 predicts
slightly above normal temperatures
and precipitation through the end of
February. Beyond that, Bomar
said, certain trends can he foreseen,
but nothing definite can he said
about the weather. “We still don’t
have the technology needed to he
accurate over a long period of time. ”
