Local Weather History For August 15th...

The summer of 2010 was warm but especially so at night. Overnight lows failed to fall below 80 degrees on numerous
occasions. On this date in 2010, Palacios recorded an overnight low of 86 degrees, Galveston recorded a low of 84
degrees and College Station recorded a low of 80 degrees. All three values were record high minimums for the day. In
2002, an upper level low pressure system coupled with deep tropical moisture produced widespread heavy rain across the
eastern half of Southeast Texas. Widespread flooding was reported in Grimes, Waller, Brazoria, Harris and Galveston
counties. Alvin received 11.77 inches of rain on this date and the city of Galveston recorded 11.46 inches of rain on
this day which is a daily and monthly record.
