Agreed with Metro Detroit getting a decent hit with round 1.
Pretty good heating is underway in that area, and there's now a good surge of moisture happening ahead of the ongoing complex.
Besides the fact that the more recent GFS runs are back to showing a hotter look across the country, He apparently doesn't understand how probabilities work, nor the meaning of "above average"...
I saw a modest-looking hail core track over northern sections of Detroit a little while ago.
I'll have to phone home and see how that went.
EDIT: There was one Ping Pong-sized hail report on the NW side of the city, so far...
Between the Saharan Dust settling in and the death ridge seemingly not relenting, might have to begin worrying about drought conditions expanding across TX.
A corridor along / just west of I-35 is already reporting severe to extreme drought conditions
I don't believe DFW has yet either (during Met Summer). Several nightly maximum lows have been broken though.
That said, DFW may be on track for a top 10 hottest July on record. It would be pretty impressive to achieve that back-to-back.
Achieved an intra-hour high of 101*F early in the afternoon before the outflow boundary (pseudo-front) moved through. DFW's currently at 10 days AOA 100*F for the season.
I did speak too soon about the cloud cover, because an altostratus cloud deck quickly filled in not long after my post this morning and stuck around for much of the day.
At last, we have a morning with plenty of blue sky and good insolation.
We'll be interesting to see what difference that makes with the highs.
Either way, off to the races!
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.
