  1. It's a fair trade off come January when we will have the best climo and you're stuck below zero.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Another record maximum low tied this morning at DFW of 84°F (last set in 2011).
  6. Welp, the 90s that were in the forecast beyond Tuesday are now gone. The lowest forecast high now is 100°F on Wednesday
  7. If it's any consolation, at least through 240hr, the EURO and GGEM aren't setting up to be as impressive with the heat/ridge as the GFS (so far).
  8. It hasn't been 1980 and 2011 extreme, but 2022 is definitely in the running for top 10 or even top 5 warmest summer to-date. How this year stands out from 1980 and 2011 is that the July/August-type heat arrived and has mostly stuck around since early May. In the aforementioned 2 years, the extreme heat didn't kick in until the 2nd half of June.
  9. Oh, and another record low maximum was tied this morning (83°F, previously set in 2011).
  10. It is officially the hottest day of the year, with a 4pm temp of 105°F at DFW.
  11. The ridge/heat was centered further SW, but it was stronger/more intense.
  12. Just noticed, Models have been hinting at a slightly stronger cold front passage tomorrow / Sunday. Could end our 100*F+ streak early with just enough CAA.
  13. 12z GFS was at least a step back from the insane 06z GFS. That was a whole 'nother level.
  14. Long range GFS is looking pretty brutal. If it's right, what we're seeing now is going to be a cakewalk.
  15. As far as the fantasy range heat & 600dm ridge, the Ventusky app is showing widespread highs of 115°F to 120°F across the Central/Southern Plains which would shatter any all-time highs. What would make that even more impressive if it happened is that the grounds won't be all that dry (except across Texas).
  16. Excessive Heat Warning now in effect for DFW until Sunday evening.
  17. Tied yet another record maximum low of 82*F this morning at DFW. The high today was 102°F, the 13th for this year.
  18. They're not entirely wrong about the potential with this setup, but using words such as "likely," predicting 90-100 MPH winds and using those terrible graphics is definitely laughable.
  19. Yet another record maximum low was set today (81*F) at DFW.
