    My aunts sister has lived in Texas since the late 1970s and HATES the summers down there. She always says that no one goes out during the day. 

    Obviously you can adapt to an extent to long winters or summers, but people will always have preferences.

    The bolded is a huge exaggeration, lol. But Texas summers are like Michigan winters in that a lot of people are staying under the A/C or heat as much as they can.

    They say the same when they have those rare days in the 40s. Thats us for atleast 5 months.  All depends on individuals tolerance. I think most people would take warmth over arctic air.

     

    I started to post exactly that in response, but yeah. You're spot on, lol...

    EDIT: Funny thing is, after 3 top 20 hottest Summers in a row before 2025, this Summer's looking to be more on the normal (if not cooler) side with no real heatwaves on the horizon for us. We still have yet to see our first 100*F+ day and should close out June without one.

    IWX kind of on an island issuing an Extreme Heat Warning but with the overnight lows being so incredibly warm, I think it’s the right call.

    To be fair, the bigger metros with UHI effect (Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, etc.) are also under Excessive Heat Warnings.

    It does look that way - how is the wind though? 

    At least in Collin / Denron Counties, there were numerous 60-70 MPH wind gusts, which any other day if not for all the hype would be a solid severe weather event.

    It is rapidly turning into a Flash Flood situation for DFW now.

    URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 396
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    400 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025

    The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

    * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
    Southwest Oklahoma
    Western North Texas and Low Rolling Plains

    * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 400 PM until
    1100 PM CDT.

    ...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...

    * Primary threats include...
    Widespread damaging winds and scattered significant gusts to 105
    mph likely
    Widespread large hail likely with isolated very large hail
    events to 5 inches in diameter possible
    A few tornadoes likely

    SUMMARY...Increasing intense severe storm development is expected
    through late afternoon into evening. This will include initial
    supercells capable of very large hail with a tornado risk, but a
    prominent potential for widespread damaging winds should evolve this
    evening.

  8. FWD presents a possible fly in the ointment with respect to high-end severe potential. It wouldn't be a DFW severe weather setup if there wasn't one.

    Take it for what it's worth...

    The biggest

    change to this afternoon forecast package is that some of the

    latest CAM guidance is now highlighting a low potential for the

    clusters currently located near Childress to grow upscale and blow

    through the region this afternoon. This presents us with two

    scenarios:

     

    Scenario 1 has already been discussed ad-nauseam

    Quote

     

    Scenario 2 is that the the clusters that are currently to our

    west expand and inhibit significant strengthening of the late

    evening activity. This is the less likely scenario, but if it

    does occur we would see a lesser swath of intense winds across

    North Texas. We`ll continue to monitor this potential as there is

    currently an expanding coverage of storms to the northwest of

    Wichita Falls.

     

     

  9.  A pretty broad moderate risk area has been issued for North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, including at least a portion of DFW.

    Main threat seems to be damaging straight line winds, wirh pretty strong wording in the SPC outlook of 80-100 MPH winds.

    Shear values in/of themselves aren't the most impressive (although still sufficient), but with the NW flow advecting in drier air aloft and strong surface heating expected, downburst potential is unusually high (especially once a cold pool gets established).

    Very large hail will be a secondary threat with any supercells early on with the steep mid-level lapse rates
