And also the 5th 100*F day of the year

DFW set yet another record maximum low this morning of 81*F (previous record was 80*F in 2022).

Today is also the 4th 100*F high for the year.

DFW tied yet another record maximum low of 82*F this morning.

DFW achieved an intra-hour high of 100*F today (3rd this season) *and* set another record maximum low of 83*F this morning.

Models are gonna model with their ridiculous outputs, but logically with the timing of the incoming "deep" trough, I only see 2 realistic outcomes with Beryl as far as possible Texas impacts: 1. A recurvature in the GOM before it reaches Texas, with any/all meaningful impacts confined to Louisiana and eastward. 2. Only parts of South Texas getting skirted with moisture/precip (similar to Alberto) as it slides progressively into/across Mexico #2 would be ideal to help extend the "cool down" for the region.

DFW set new record maximum lows both on 6/29 and 6/30, with lows of 81F and 82F respectively.

DFW achieved an intra-hour high of 100*F today, 2nd time this season.

DFW may have tied the record low minimum of 82*F this morning, which was just set last year.

In all likelihood, DFW should also see its first 80*F low of the season tomorrow...

And it begins. DFW observed its first 100*F high of the season today, 3 days earlier than last year and a day earlier than average.

All the tropical activity / moisture over the GOM being transported northward definitely dirtied things up as far as temp potential and cloud cover, which isn't too surprising with the transitional ENSO period we're in. That said, Summer's just beginning and all indications are (and have been) the worst of the heat will be backloaded. I just checked my grids locally, and despite everyone hoping this might be a cool-ish Summer for North Texas with all the rain this Spring, we already have highs in the 100s starting tomorrow for days on end (with heat headlines likely forthcoming)...

This was also the longest 90*F+ streak DTW has seen since July 2020...

DTW's likely going to fall short, as more convection percolated to the SW of the airport ans moved overhead.

Skies look to be clearing for DTW now, and the ongoing elevated convection looks to be on a downward trend. The late June sun angle should do its thing for the afternoon with heating temps up.

BTW, 2024 is also the 5th warmest year to-date on record for DFW (warmer than both 2022 and 2023 to-date), even with a January that was well below average.

DFW is currently at +1.0°F for June. The departure will likely increase further as we head into the final week of the month. If so, while not be record-breaking, that will mean another solidly above average month temp-wise despite the wet soils and all of the rainfall. There may be a bit of a fly in the ointment though, as there are hints we could at least be grazed by ROF convection out of OK/KS/AR midweek with a transient breakdown of the eastern ridge.

Guess I was wrong. Convection to the SW of the airport fell apart and didn't produce much debris. Up to 92*F now as of the 2pm observation.

DTW did in fact snag an intra-hour 90*F. Convection is blowing up all around the vicinity now, so in all likelihood, that will be the max for today.

Might be a photo finish for 90*F today. Currently 89*F at DTW now, but some Altostratus has filled in per satellite and Convection is starting to initiate just to the SW.

Looks like potentially several consecutive days of 100*F+ temps are looming for DFW next week, starting as early as this upcoming. Sunday. For perspective, the first 100*F+ day last year wasn't observed until 6/26 (which ended up with 55 days total).

DTW eventually did achieve a late day high of 91*F yesterday, as it seems the cloud debris finally thinned some.

You guys seem to have a fair amount of cloud debris today. I'm a little surprised temps are still rising at a respectable clip. But that mid-June sun angle can do wonders...

While not record-breaking, 6/17 is the first time DTW reached 95*F or greater since 8/3/2022.

The Detroit area was under the influence of the outflow bubble from this morning's MCS / MCV, The bubble has finally (mostly) eroded with temps topping out in the low/mid 90s, but the limited daytime mixing through midday put a cap on the max temp potential.
