Yeah, I remember the summer of 1980, quite well ... HOT! HOT!! HOT!!! I was living in an apartment, then, and I went out to the complex's pool to cool off around midnight ... it felt like I was taking a hot bath.
I heard the other day that a strong tropical low was coming in from the east, but they said it was going to stay south and go across Mexico. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will come back north on the backside and swing back into West Texas.
