    Strange weather last night

    I noticed that a local weather station located about a mile from my house(private) recorded the temperature rise last night around midnight by a little over 2 degrees and thought it was odd to increase in the middle of the night. My wife read an article on facebook later on Texas Storm Watch about what I had earlier discovered. The temperature rose over 12 degrees around cisco , which is about 39 miles west of my home. The wind also got up to 58 mph gust , just 10 miles west of me. It blew hard at my house all night as well. ODD... to say the least. The link below shows the temp chance during the night.

    It happens. Winds can force warmer air aloft down to the surface. Big storm cells west of you were likely the catalyst.

    We get it in the winter, but it is related to winter storm systems as they move off, the wind will shift and funnel warmer air in. We had a Day last winter where daytime temps were in the 20’s, it had warmed to above freezing by midnight.

      Interesting - never heard of a heat burst. I was at a friend’s ranch last night located around Huckabay north of Stephenville. We sat on his deck and watched an incredible light show to the north/northwest around midnight. I think it stayed mostly north of I20 - we got nary a drop of rain

        We had 40-50 mph gusts this morning from the East. It was weird. I immediately pulled up radar thinking we we're fixing to get hit by something. Radar clear and a half hour later we had calm winds out of the south.

          I live in Huckabay. The wind and lightning woke me up but no rain.

            We watched a beautiful lightning storm last night in three different directions and never got a dang drop of rain. Weather is a funny thing.

              A few years ago temps rose to 105* at midnight in western Oklahoma, around Hobart when i was working out there on a rig.

                I read a NWS tweet that the "epicenter" of the heat burst was near Breckenridge, and the temp rose to 99 degrees around 1AM.

                We were west of Graham and got around a 1/4" of rain and a little small hail, but the light show was pretty awesome.
