Also per KDFW news, there were over 50K power outages across DFW at the peak, but things seem to be getting restored quickly.

DFW measured a 70 MPH wind gust per the SPC, with numerous 60-70 MPH gusts around the greater Metroplex area. EDIT: DAL also reported a 56 MPH wind gust per KDFW news.

Still got power here.

Surprised they issued a Tornado Watch as quickly as they did and for such a large area in North Texas It's in effect until 2am.

True, but I suspect it explains why the CINH hasn't eroded as quickly as the CAMs progged.

It seems the problem is that dewpoints are now starting to mix out. They've fallen into the mid 60s here.

FWD's sounding isn't much better...

For what little it's worth though, I think today's event is the first time this entire season that every short-term CAM has agreed on a single outcome, and they all look good for DFW.

Given how lackluster this season has been, my expectations have been shot.

Sod's law...

The latest 30-year averages did suggest that somewhat. April and May were slightly cooler while September and October were slightly warmer.

Thank god for the Sunbelt...

FWIW, I've heard someone mentioned the fall pattern so far is looking similar to 2010. Of course, if that's the case, I think a lot of folks would be happy with a repeat of the winter that came after it.

I didn't know you moved. What brought you over to the Detroit area? EDIT: Never mind. I see your response above

Yeah, observing from afar, the Detroit area over into SW Ontario has had quite the severe weather season this year. Frankly, given the dearth of severe weather here in Dallas this year, I'm kind of jealous (never thought I'd say that).

Complex in MI starting to get that bow echo look.

At first glance, today looks like a really good derecho setup across MI / ON / NY. Capping and weak low-level flow are going to be the biggest impediments. An interesting setup none the less though with good bust potential.

Not necessarily. See the Autobahn in Germany, for example.

Sounds about right. The weird thing though is that while the drivers are like bats out of hell, they're not reckless like in some other places. And they're masters at dodging potholes.

It is crazy to see that 7 of the top 10 warmest summers in Detroit were in the past 20 years (out of 125+ years of records)... https://www.weather.gov/media/dtx/climate/Seasonal Reviews/DTX_Summer2021_Review.pdf And it's been almost 30 years since Detroit has had a top 20 coldest Summer.

Broken clocks...

It was the follow up post complaining about the weenies, not the post itself.

It's not about being mean to the storm. We got possibly a Cat 5 cyclone barreling towards a large population center and you're concerned about a relatively inconsequential dry slot depicted on radar. Let's be more choosy about our priorities and hills to die on.
