Well alrighty then...

Mesoscale Discussion 1981
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0420 PM CST Fri Dec 10 2021

   Areas affected...Northeast Texas...far southeast Oklahoma...and far
   southwest Arkansas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 102220Z - 102345Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered severe storms are possible
   across portions of the Arklatex.

   DISCUSSION...High based showers have developed along a dryline which
   has recently passed through Dallas. These showers are now moving
   into a more moisture rich airmass with dewpoints in the mid 60s.
   This is yielding MLCAPE around 1500 to 2000 J/kg beneath strong
   mid-level flow and effective shear in excess of 60 knots. Therefore,
   further intensification of these showers are possible. The threat
   will likely remain isolated, but the environment is quite favorable
   for supercells with an initial large hail threat with an increasing
   tornado threat with eastward extent. The isolated nature of any
   storm development may preclude the need for a watch, but if storm
   intensity is great enough or if more storms develop, a watch may be
   needed.

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.

Yeah really disappointed in this winter so far. Up here in Fayetteville local TV mets are forecasting a high of 79 for Christmas being possible. Thats just wrong. I really hope things turn around in January and we finally get some winter storm systems but I think the same thing was said about December and we saw how that went. :wacko::thumbsdown:

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.

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