A Heat advisory has now been issued for Houston as well. In fact, almost the entire states of OK and TX are under a heat advisory for the weekend.

After being socked in convective debris all morning, it has finally mixed out around noon with clear skies & full sun. Today's record high is 101*F, which (unless mixing overachieves big time as the HRRR indicates) should be safe. Saturday's record high for DFW is 103*F which (based on current model projections) is in jeopardy of being broken.

Today's high at DFW was 94*F.It could potentially be the last time we see highs in the 90s for a while.

I got your point. My post was just more evidence towards proving your point. I know on weather forums like this, folks tend to be overwhelmingly in love with snow and prefer colder weather, but that doesn't necessarily translate into the real world with the brisk migration that's been ongoing to the Sunbelt over the past 40 years.

Seeing some towering CU outside. With the remnant outflow boundary from yesterday overhead, might get some pop up storms.

After February 2021, it's probably for the best.

DFW should finally see its first 100*F high of 2022 by Sunday at the latest. Tomorrow's in jeopardy because we might see another repeat of Wednesday with a MCS passing by.

I feel mostly the same way about Michigan, and its winters.

Got 89'd at DFW today before the outflow boundary moved through.

You said they love cold wet days... Or did you mean to say hate?

Why would tomato plants be rotting out because of something they love?

90*F+ temps are in Jeopardy today, with that MCS moving in. The portion moving towards DFW is weakening, *BUT*, not soon enough to avoid at least some outflow influence & cloud debris.

All of the top 4 fastest growing metro areas (DFW, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta) have hot climos.

Am peeping out some of the latest CAMs attempting to bring the MCS from tonight into North Texas tomorrow. Could be interesting if they're onto something.

The trend towards more of an omega block pattern in the mid-range isn't too surprising, especially with the MJO in a cooler phase. That's been the status quo much of this spring.

18z GFS shows highs of 100*F+ for DFW the entire run through starting Friday.And that's not to diminish the fact that it will already be well into the 90s the rest of this week.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit a concerned that ongoing MCS in OK will impact North Texas later today. Upper level shear is kind of lacking and capping is pretty stout now (which botg should make it harder to maintain organization), but this complex is tied to a MCV which tend to do their own thing while both the corfidi vectors and instability gradient would support propagation into this region.

*laughs in Great Plains*

It may have been possible, but not easily accessible like it is today.

After a mix of clouds and sun all morning / early afternoon, it has suddenly turned dark with billowing CU. Might have some storms soon.

The radar showed the little complex really bowing out as it moved through the city There's even a storm report of metal roofing blowing off one of the high rises downtown. 1645 UNK 5 SE DETROIT WAYNE MI 4233 8305 SECTION OF METAL ROOFING BLOWN OFF AT THE 150 WEST JEFFERSON BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT.
