  1. Fortunately, I'm in the path of totality this time around as well. I went to Nashville for the last one (that was before I left Michigan). But no travel for me in 2024!
  2. After sunny skies through early afternoon and highs in the mid 90s, just got smacked pretty good here with a severe thunderstorm. Addison airport gusted to 51 MPH. Had an awesome-looking sheil cloud too.
  3. High dewpoint depression, especially at the surface, helps.
  4. What a flip from the first half of August...
  5. BTW, it's kind of wild this will be a top 5 hottest Summer for DFW and a top 10 wettest.
  6. For DFW, despite the "sharp" cool down from mid-August on, 2022 is still on track for a top 5 warmest Summer on record (most likely either #3 or #4) with the 2nd highest number of 80*F+ lows on record and the 6th highest number of 100*F+ highs on record. FWIW, will only need 1 more 100*F+ day to make the top 5.
  7. Seems Detroit got hit pretty good. 58 MPH gust at DTW and 70 MPH gust at DET.
  8. While much of the activity was delayed yesterday, the amounts that were pegged still ended up coming to fruition.
  9. Not to discount how extreme this event is, but there's definitelty a decent gradient with the rainfall across the Metroplex. The activity and amounts drop off drastically in NE Dallas and the NE suburbs ( I.E. Collin County).
  10. Nothing more than sprinkles in the Metroplex thus far. We'll see what the next few hours bring.
  11. Good luck with that. Upper level pattern looks to remain hostile to tropical development in the forseeable future. But we'll see what September and beyond brings...
  12. At last, our dry streak has ended. It's been raining hard as hell for a good minute.
  13. Obviously there's still August to get through, but for Dallas, the May-June-July 2022 period was the hottest on record, tying with 1998.
  14. Yeah, it hasn't been a -NAO in the technical sense, but on balance when looking at the May & June maps, there has definitely been pretty stubborn ridging west of Greenland towards Hudson Bay (kind of emulating the look of a west-based -NAO). Of course, paired with what has been fairly persistent troughing on the west coast into the GOA, the duration of troughing and cooler weather for the eastern half of the country has been transient.
  15. Oh, one thing I neglected to mention: There wasn't a single day with a negative departure the entire month of July for DFW.
  16. Yet another record maximum low was tied this morning at DFW (84°F, previously set in 2011).
  17. Today's high at DFW was an intra-hour 101°F.And another record maximum low of 83°F was set this morning (previous record was 82°F in 2011).
  18. It be so cute watching the NWS grids for FWD. The afternoon forecaster(s) always tries their damndest to find any reason to knock down a forecasted 100*F+ high to 99*F, and it never ends up working out for them.
