3rd tornado confirmed:

Now it's 95*F, officially the warmest day of the year.

94*F now. Currently ties for the warmest day of the year. It did help that the fog/stratus this morning stayed away from the Metroplex, so we've had full insolation all day.

Actually, now that I've taken a deeper look, the record high of 89*F has been shattered for today.

Overachieving big time. Currently 92*F at DFW. Forecast high was only 89*F.

Wednesday - Friday will be a test to see if DFW can continue its 70*F+ streak. Forecasts highs right now are 71*F Wednesday, and 69*F Thursday/Friday. If we can survive these 3 days without breaking the streak, it should continue into at least mid-next week.

Internal politics and personality clashes is the reason why that will never happen. It's why this forum, which in itself is already a conurbation of several long-defunct forums, has so many subforums for different regions.

Since 1986, 2022 to-date is already well ahead every other year for Tornado Warning count in FWD's CWA.

Hearing you guys complain about your Spring weather so far, I don't miss that *AT ALL*, lol. So far, this has been the perfect Spring here. Looks to stay that way in the forseeable future.

DFW might have a shot at its 2nd 90*F+ high of the year today.

Yeah, I saw that hail core pass over your area. We missed it just to the north.

Based on the swath of wind reports (right now extending from just south of Dallas to Monroe, LA) last night's squall line meets the distance criteria for a derecho. However, I'm not seeing any high wind reports (75+ MPH gusts) within that swath, the other criteria.

@Witness Protection Program Told you!

Not much wind or hail here (had some stones mixed in with the rain for a few minutes), but the vivid lightning (including cloud-to-ground), the shelf cloud, the blinding rain, the training and the loud cracks of thunder, all combined for a just plain ol' awesome storm!

Definitely getting some drought relief.

Even with it being nighttime, can see a nice looking shelf cloud.

Nearly 400 lightning strikes/minute now.

Might have to keep an eye out on the tail end of that line bordering Tarrant County too, as the xells interacts with the outflow boundary and tries to take a right turn.

Nearly 300 lightning strikes/minute with the storms in Texas.

Just got the most intense downpour for about 10 seconds.

There's another arch down around Mansfield/Burleson, over to Midlothoan/Waxahachie and then curling NE over to Forney/Rockwall/Terrell that gets hit a lot too. Gotta love Microclimates.
