    Also, it is now the hottest day of the year at DFW with a current temp of 108*F. Record high is 110*F set back in 1980, which might be tied or broken.
  2. Powerball
    BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if that 86*F is broken tomorrow morning.
  3. Powerball
    No reason why the 86*F shouldn't hold at this point. One of those rogue rain showers did graze the eastern edge of DFW's airfield this morning, but fortunately it wasn't enough to knock down the temp.

    In theory, the low would be 86*F at DFW (another record maximum), but of course a couple of rogue rain shower has billowedvup across thr Metroplex. So that might take a hit.

    Today's high at DFW was an intra-hour 105*F. 22nd day for this year. EDIT: Make that an intra-hour 106*F.

    Tied another record maximun low at DFW this morning (83°F, previously set in 2006).

    After a 2-day reprieve, DFW achieved an intra-hour high of 100*F today. It is the 21st day this season.

    It's just a slang term for an unusually strong & stagnant upper level High Pressure center producing unusually warm temps.

    ^^^Definitely a classic. R.I.P Sears...

    As of today, DFW has reached its average number of 100°F+ days in a year (20). Current projections are we should end up solidly above that number.

    I'm COVID-free, unvaxxed and have never taken a test, so likely a unicorn at this point. And this is all while living in states that have effectively been wide open since the brief lockdowns were lifted in May 2020. (I know certain folks in OT will have a ball with this revelation, and more power to them).

    I've heard rumblings that we could be looking at a El Nino come winter, and that outlook would go completely against the grain.

    Ventusky is now showing highs of 120°F+ in DFW for 7/24 and 7/25.

    What has been persistent -NAO blocking (which may even strengthen towards the end of the month) will probably ensure that it remains transient the further north and east one gets. Either way, as Alek implied in the Texas thread, we're boned out here unless the Tropics miraculously come through.

    Predictably, the GFS has backed down on the strength/size of the ridge in the long range, as well as its eastern extent. But still looking plenty hot for the Plains and Mississippi Valley.

    It's a fair trade off come January when we will have the best climo and you're stuck below zero.

    BTW, you know this heat means business when there isn't much of a temperature drop after a heavy rain shower. Love Field was one of the lucky spots to get a downpour late yesterday afternoon and their temp was still at 100*F afterwards.

    After heat indices topping out at 110*F yesterday and an Excessive Heat Warning, the cool down has arrived. Dallas & Tarrant Counties have been downgraded to Heat Advisories with heat indices *ONLY* up to 105*F and highs *ONLY* in the low 100s. This morning's low was 81*F.
  21. Powerball
    Yep, it happened after I made that post.
  22. Powerball
    Only made it to 105*F at DFW (1 degree shy of the record high), due to a decent amount of mid-level clouds late morning / midday.

  24. Powerball
    Another record maximum low tied this morning at DFW of 84°F (last set in 2011).
  25. Powerball
    Welp, the 90s that were in the forecast beyond Tuesday are now gone. The lowest forecast high now is 100°F on Wednesday
