This airmasss is something else though with how efficiently it heats up. Yet again, deapite being socked in with convective debris all morning with light showers, highs still recovered into the low/mid 100s.

So many warnings in Eastern MI, and not a watch to be found...

87*F at 4am. Crazy!

The convective debis and the light showers through Midday wasn't enough to put a lid on temps, as it still ended up at 104*F at DFW

lol at the radar/satellite this morning. What a weird Summer...

I've heard the Summer of 2009 mentioned as an analog, and it's an interesting one. The temps/departure ls were a bit more variable here in North Texas (similar to this year so far), but yeah, it was an all-out torch down that way.

But the most exciting thunderstorms occur more frequently at 100 than 40... 7/4/12 in Detroit remains one of my all-time favorite weather days ever for that resaon.

Today marks DFW's first 105°F+ high of the season, with an official high of 105°F.

Just temps below freezing is too cold, and it accompanies the misfortune of dirty snow/ice sticking around forever and constantly overcast skies for folks east of Lake Michigan too. Like I said, it's all about picking your poison.

Yep. Gotta pick your poison.

Likewise when you guys are in the deep freeze come January.

Temps did finally recover back to a "cool" high of 90*F after the cloud debris cleared out around 2pm.

Forecast temps may just bust today. Getting a nice garden variety t'storm this morning on the tail end of what's left of that MCS that tracked through NE / KS / OK. It's been raining cats & dogs for at least a good 30 minutes. Even got a decent pop of wind ahead of it (nothing severe, but a stiff breeze). As is typical with these ridge riders, it ended up tracking further SW than models projected. Something possessed FWD to issue a heat advisory yesterday evening for Dallas and Tarrant Counties. That obviously ain't happening todah (not even certain 90s will happen) and has been cancelled.

Alrighty then...

With an intra-hour high of 100*F today, DFW is back in business!

Everything you've explained in your post is also why I remaim extremely skeptical about the extent of extreme heat that models are currently projecting for Dallas over the next few weeks (Houston, San Antonio and Austin, however, should continue to bake).

100s aren't happening for Palm dude's part of the country as long as those Canadian wildfires rage on.

Meanwhile, the initial MCS from this morning managed to track all the way down to Tuscaloosa before diminishing.

DFW should end June with around a +2 degree departure, maybe a hair warmer.

I mean, parts of Michigan did get a decent severe weather event this past Sunday (nothing earth shattering, but relative to climo, it was a solid outbreak). It just didn't happen in everyone's backyard.

A fair amount of the low-hanging fruit was broken in 2022 as well (which, BTW, tied for the hottest MJJ on record).

On the whole, 1980 just wasn't as humid as this heatwave has been so far.
