Texas In Line For A Hot Summer, But Maybe Not As Hot As 2009

How hot will it get in Texas this summer?

Meteorologist Bob Rose with the Austin-based Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)says it will be plenty hot, based on the number of likely days at or above 100. But he still doesn't believe there will be as many of those days as the state saw in 2009.

LCRA manages reservoirs on the Colorado River of Texas that supply water to a large portion of Texas farm country west of Houston and also supply water to Austin and other cities. We make it a point to follow his forecasts.

Rose posted the following podcast on his blog, outlining his outlook for summer heat.
