    12/19 did break the 50*F+ highs streak though, with only a high of 48*F.

    FWIW, the warmest December on record was back in 1933 (dust bowl era) with an average temp of 54*F.After yesterday (and the day before, which both had below normal daily averages), DFW's average temperature sits at 59.8*F.On top of that, DFW has ever recorded a December with average highs above 65*F, and right now it sits at 71*F.This isn't just a torch, it's an inferno.

    Austin is real good if you're into outdoors stuff. It's pretty expensive there compared to other big Texas cities though. I have family in Houston and San Antonio (some of them also moved from Michigan) They're all doing well. And that's the thing. No matter what type of person you are, what your convictions are and what your ambitions are, there's a place somewhere in the state for anyone to fit in and do well.

    I work remotely now, so I felt Texas was the best place to move to at this point in my life. No income tax and the warm falls / springs are definite pluses, as well as the weather being much Sunnier. It also has that same vibe California had 30-50 years ago with everyone tripping over themselves to come here, everything feeling new and the plethora of job opportunities. EDIT: The higher risk of severe t'storms to track is nice too, although this last season locally was quite underwhelmingly.

    Heeeyyy Stevo6899! I do enjoy lurking & reading your posts to get your observations, as a former fellow east sider. Not much has changed either it seems...

    There's a chance DFW could go the entire month of December without a sub-50*F high, which would really be crazy (not sure that's ever happened before). Sunday, with a current forecast high in the upper 40s, might be our best shot. In fact, our "coldest" high to-date has only been 59*F.

    The reports are well over 500 now. Crazy! This Fall / early Winter more than made up for the extremely slow start to the severe weather season in the Spring / early Summer

    I'd be surprised if there was another December on record with 2 back-to-back historic severe weather outbreaks.

    Impressive comma head too.

    Parts of MN upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning with tonight's system.

    I guess we all have that one thing we're really passionate about...

    If there's any solace, it seems the line did break up just enough and just in time to spare both KC and Des Moines from the intense conditions.

    That certainly makes for a good conspiracy theory...

    That's a nasty-looking bow echo passing NW of Des Moines.

    Fortunately, it may ease on by just to the south.

    When I saw those mid-level lapse rates this morning, I kind of suspected there would be some intense hailers today.

    That cell moving into Ottawa, KS is looking increasingly omnous.

    The lightning is pretty impressive too, especially for so far north in December. Almost 400 strikes per minute.

    Per SPC 3:13pm CT report, there's a TOG in Humphrey, NE.

    Looks like there's a quite a bit of CIHN across IA. While the line should easily break the cap, the CIHN may be the saving grace that prevents more tornadic supercells from developing ahead of the line.

    Although not PDS, still pretty high end for a TOR Watch.
