UPDATE: 3.95" is the official final total per FWD...

Bullseye! https://x.com/wfaaweather/status/1991697682084122874?t=kJ5x6yrdEHdWtt8gWCUCJw&s=19 This was also the wettest November day on record for DFW with 3.92" of rain today.

While the temps may be trending warmer, the winters have also been trending snowier and stormier for you all who are along/north of I-80. IMO, that's a good trade off.

I'm not sure it's possible to get hard data on it, but I know @michsnowfreak has expressed the same feeling on multiple occasions.

Clippers have to be an endangered species at this point, but it's been that way for a while. I remember them being quite common in the 90s through mid-2000s.

DFW apparently did set another record high minimum yesterday with a low of only 68*F (the previous record was 67*F).

For DFW, aside from shattering today's record high of 83*F, if the low of 72*F holds it will break the previous record high minimum of 70*F. The record high of 87*F was also tied yesterday.

DFW also achieved a high of 89*F today, breaking the previous record of 87*F set in 1960.

While it was an impressive setup on paper, it's not surprising that it busted for Chicago at least. Aside from the convective nature of LES, it is much harder to get ststionary banding on the west side of the lake.

I miss the Snow Advisory and Heavy Snow Warning headlines too...

The latest LOT AFD is insane. Apparently, this has potential to make the history books. In our lifetime, I'm struggling to recall a similar type of setup, especially so early in the season. I hope you Chicago folks enjoy!

For sure it won't be anything like a Toronto winter. But it's also not like going to Miami either, where they get *NO* snow or cold threats what so ever.

Don't be so sure. It's snowed every single year I've been here since November 2020, including 2 events that were 2"+. Larry Cosgrove's even calling for banner winter with 6" this season (for what little it's worth), lol... What you're *NOT* going to see though is snowcover hanging around forever (unless there's another freak February 2021 disaster) and cloudy skies for 9 months out of the year. The sun actually comes out and stays out in between storm systems here

2025 will end up being the 4th warmest October record for DFW (2024 was the warmest). The last week or so really knocked down the average.

I think multiple things can be true. Yes, people might be ready for fall, but I highly doubt they were complaining about having a bunch of warm and sunny days in the mean time. EDIT: Now if it were truly hot/humid weather, then maybe a different story.
