  1. Today's high at DFW was 83*F, shattering the previous record of 79*F from 2017.The forecast for tomorrow is 85*F. The current record is 83*F, set in 1911.
  2. Today's record high at DFW is 79*F, set in 2017. With a forecast high ~80*F, we have a solid chance of breaking that today.
  3. June and July were pretty active, at least for the eastern/southern lakes and Ohio Valley In Detroit, 7/4 featured numerous late-day hail cores & flash flooding across the area after temps surged to a near-record high of 101*F with mostly sunny skies. That was followed by an early morning squall line on 7/5 that produced widespread wind damage. Then of course, there was the notorious 6/29 - 6/30 derecho that tracked from Chicago to DC.
  4. Despite mostly cloudy skies and late morning / midday showers, DFW tied the record high of 78°F today (previously set in 2004). Also, as long as temps stay at/above 64°F through Midnight, the record high minimum of 63°F will also be broken.
  5. Despite near record-breaking cold leading into Christmas weekend, December still ended up +2.6°F above normal for DFW (22nd warmest on record)...
  6. It's still early. I suspect many of the OH/MI folks (outside the LES belts) will end up pretty underwhelmed too. But yeah, if you had low expectations from the get go, that's a different story.
  7. And maybe I'm looking at different models, but if anything, most of them are trending drier with weaker forcing for the Detroit area specifically, as the system is no longer getting as deep as originally expected and the deepening is at a slower pace. That includes the GFS and FV3 compared to yesterday's runs.
  8. While drier out west, snowfall-wise, the 00z GFS was the best run (in a while) for Detroit.
  9. Rumor is the Lions are actually going to the playoffs this season. Is that true?
  10. Latest FV3 might come through with another run for Michigan...
  11. It has definitely become the new norm... The ridiculously progressive northern stream flow makes it too difficult for any storm to dig and become too amped before it gets sheared apart by confluence.The days when we could get legitimately deep/amped storms such as Jan '99, Dec. '06, Dec. '09 or GHD 1 (2011) seem like a distant memory at this point.
  12. So in reality, compared to past runs, the EURO has been on a downward tend amount-wise, including for Detroit and the 18z run.
  13. It's probably even more hollow than Chicago's though. Total accumulation of 2-4" (for Detroit), lol...
  14. To my shock, DTX went with a Winter Storm Warning area-wide...
  15. In terms of overall evolution, yeah. But on a micro level, how quicky it deepens and takes on a negative tilt will dictate the extent of snowfall and blizzard conditions the further SE in Michigan you get.
  16. Yeah, the NW flow LES belts should still do well if the synoptic snows are underwhelming.
