Possible Record Low Tonight

High pressure stretching from western Canada to Texas is anchored in place allowing for the Brazos Valley to enjoy low humidity and below average temperatures. In fact, temperatures will be so far below average, that we will be challenging record lows overnight. Easterwood Airport's record low temperature for Thursday morning is 47°. We will come close to that mark. Therefore, jackets needed early Thursday morning.

By the afternoon a few clouds will move in and decorate the royal blue sky. Clouds will hang around on Friday too, before moving out for the weekend that is projected to be breezy and much warmer with temperatures back in the middle to upper 80s.

Tonight: Clear and chilly. Low: 47°

Thursday: A sunny start with a few afternoon clouds. High: 75°

Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, not as chilly. Low: 53°


Friday: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy, warmer. High: 77°

60 Years Later - 1954 F-2 College Station Tornado

Its honestly pretty tough because the Brazos Valley is on the southern tip of Tornado Alley, but twisters can rip through from time to time. According to tornadohistoryproject.com, since 1953, only 23 tornadoes have either formed or moved across parts of Brazos County.

The was one in particular that occurred back on April 30, 1954 that tore though College Station just to the east of Texas A&M and moved towards what would eventually be Highway 6.

Data: Tornadohistoryproject.com. This is a path of the F-2 tornado that hit College Station on April 30, 1954

Back in 1954, most of these roads were not constructed and a vast amount of the buildings we see today were not even in the works. From the information given, there were no fatalities or injuries with this tornado that was rated F-2 with winds possibly between 113-157mph. However, if you look a the path closely, it would have done significant damage to many shops that currently sit along University Dr, especially the Hilton Hotel. Also, many homes would have suffered significant damage as well if a twister with the same path and strength hit in today's BCS. 

Interesting to look back at history and compare it to the modern day. Luckily, no severe weather is in the forecast over the next 7-10 days.
