  1. For the 3rd time this seaaon, DFW achieved a high of 109*F today.
  2. As of 2pm, today's record high of 107*F at DFW (previously set in 2011) has been broken (currently 108*F).
  3. Update: The high was actually 108*F, breaking the previous record.
  4. DFW tied the record high of 107*F today (previously set in 2011), and also set another record maximum low of 85*F (previously 82*F set in 2006).
  5. We finally got some of that down here for the first time this season yesterday. Made for a nice sunrise and sunset with thick haze.
  6. Unless something crazy happens towards the last few days of August with the pattern (I.E. a Tropical System or a massive trough), on average, 2023 will be the 3rd warmest Summer on record for DFW (yes, surpassing 1998/2022 and only behind 2011/1980). The 2nd warmest August on record is likely a lock as well, and 2023 is still in the running to surpass 2011 for the warmest. Still amazing to think about, given it (Summer 2023) was off to a pretty tame start.
  7. Sunday has trended slightly warmer, so may have one more shot then.
  8. It's amazing how difficult it has been to get a 110*F+ day at DFW since 2011. We've now had 2 back-to-back Summers amongst the hottest on record, and neither one of them could crack it. This was about the most ideal setup for it to happen too.
  9. And it's very fitting that a potential 110*F day starts off with a hazy sunrise from Canadian Wildfire Smoke...
  10. Talk about a back-loaded Summer (2023)... What's also crazy about this number for DFW is that drought conditions haven't been nearly as severe/extreme as they were in the other top 5 years.
  11. How many 100*F+ days has Houston seen so far this season? EDIT: Never mind. I think I found the answer (26 days as of 8/17).
  12. The 00z EURO OP run brought the tropical wave back in earnest. I'm hoping it *DOESN'T* happen so that DFW can move further up the ranking for 100*F+ days. We're 11 days away from catching up with 2022, and still 4 days away from cracking the top 10 list. We're also in the running for at least the 2nd warmest August on record (2011 being the 1st). And all but 3 of the remaining days in August will have to be 100*F+ to crack the top 10 highest number of days in a month.
  13. Oh my Sweet Summer Chile... Y'all got several months of that crap incoming after this last heat ridge flexs it muscles.
  14. It would be funny if a 600dm death ridge did set up over Alek next week, after the way this Summer has gone.
  15. It's 99*F at DFW as of 12pm, but the stiff NW wind has kicked into gear. Just need that last degree (with full solar insolation) to get that 22nd consecutive day...
  16. Achieved a record high of 106*F today at DFW (previous record was 105*F set in 1951).
