I caught it too before it was deleted, lol.

How many other years, besidea 2004, has OKC not hit 100*F+? DFW has only had 6 so far, and they all occured in that late July / early August period. I now know better than to say it won't happen for sure, especially with the help of subsidence behind Ida next week, but it is getting increasingly less likely that DFW will see any more 100*F+ days this year.

Those storms moving through MI kind of fell apart as they moved into Detroit. It seems residual wake subsidence from the storms last night / this morning is the reason why. Probably still producing some modest outflow wind, but the lightning is virtually all gone and the returns aren't nearly as ominous.

So much for that, lol.

Looking forward to the deluge of new Karen videos.

Oh boy... CDC to reverse indoor mask policy, saying fully vaccinated people should wear them indoors in Covid hot spots

Despite the extremely slow start, Metro Detroit has seen has fairly active severe weather season this year.

Yeah, this won't age well. Going down in flames (figuratively and literally).

I'm fully aware I wasn't (and still am not) an easy person to get along with. But at least I've since mostly moved on from the petty insults/attacks some folks still engage in with each other while also accomplishing some productive stuff.

Summer 2010 was pretty cloudy. It seemed like everyday or every other day had grungy skycover from convective debris. I'm not sure how it would compare to what you're describing this year though.

Also, after several years, I see some folks still haven't changed...

People who *ARE* fully vaccinated are also getting still getting the virus, so they're also contributing to the rise in cases. The vaccine was never meant to be a cure.

Oh goody, more flooding...

So far, this week hasn't been as bad as originally feared.Monday was the only cool/rainy day. Yesterfay and today have featured hoghs at/above 90*F and partly cloudy skies after the morning stratus breaks up.It's ultimately only been slightly below normal, thanks to the overnight lows around average..

Awesome looking shelf clouds.

Even with these "cool" days to end the month and the cold days to start the month, thanks to the 2-3 weeks of hot temps in the middle, it appears DFW will end the month of June right around average (as of today, the departure is +0.4*F)

I guess we're in the same miserable club together. Had a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon at around 2pm, on June 28th, and wasn't a rumble of thunder nor a lightning strike to be found. But in other news, I read that San Antonio observed ( I believe it was) Texas' largest hailstone ever this season. Apparently, this just isn't our year for strong/severe t'storms..

Looking good for a modest severe weather episode in the Detroit area today.

Not quite (I gotta fact check you on this ). Detroit's JJA skycover is similar to cities in the SE, but Texas is definitely still sunnier. Number of days (Skycover %) June Detroit – 8 (0-30%); 11 (40-70%); 11 (70%+) Charlotte – 7 (0-30%); 11 (40-70%); 12 (70%+) Atlanta – 8 (0-30%); 12 (40-70%); 10 (70%+) Miami – 3 (0-30%); 14 (40-70%); 13 (70%+) Dallas – 11 (0-30%); 12 (40-70%); 8 (70%+) Houston – 7 (0-30%); 13 (40-70%); 9 (70%+) July Detroit – 9 (0-30%); 12 (40-70%); 10 (70%+) Miami – 3 (0-30%); 17 (40-70%); 11 (70%+) Atlanta - 6 (0-30%); 13 (40-70%); 12 (70%+) Charlotte – 7 (0-30%); 12 (40-70%); 12 (70%+) Dallas – 15 (0-30%); 10 (40-70%); 6 (70%+) Houston – 7 (0-30%); 16 (40-70%); 8 (70%+) August Detroit – 9 (0-30%); 11 (40-70%); 11 (70%+) Miami – 2 (0-30%); 18 (40-70%); 11 (70%+) Atlanta – 7 (0-30%); 13 (40-70%); 10 (70%+) Charlotte – 7 (0-30%); 13 (40-70%); 11 (70%+) Dallas – 15 (0-30%); 10 (40-70%); 6 (70%+) Houston – 6 (0-30%); 17 (40-70%); 8 (4-7) (70%+)

I see DTW has logged yet another 89*F today (that's gotta be at like 20 88*F or 89*F days for the season). Yet, stll no 90*F, even though DET has hit 90*F now 3 times. It's getting comical at this point.

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that DFW won't see a single 100*F+ day this year (the average is 20 days). I hope I'm wrong.

What's really crazy is that, based on everything I can find, there was virtually no lightning with this activity. It's extremely unusal to see those type of rainfall amounts (outside a Tropical Storm / Hurricane) without lightning.

The old NWS NEXRAD radar can be found at the link below. But naturally, the site is down for maintenance right now. https://gis.ncdc.noaa.gov/maps/ncei/radar The University of Iowa also still uses the old NWS NEXRAD radar (with a loop): https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/GIS/apps/rview/warnings.phtml?autopilot=0&osite=FWD&tzoff=0&layers[]=nexrad&layers[]=warnings&layers[]=cwas&layers[]=uscounties&layers[]=watches&layers[]=blank&site=FWD&tz=CDT&archive=yes&year=2021&month=6&day=7&hour=9&minute=35&warngeo=both&zoom=250&imgsize=640x480&loop=1&frames=25&interval=15&filter=0&cu=0&sortcol=fcster&sortdir=0&lsrlook=%2B&lsrwindow=0
