DFW airport had some string of luck the past two weeks. There were many 99F days where if it were less than a degree warmer in theory could have been 14 days and set a new record.
Extended analogs suggest increased risk of above normal through July, I'm going to make a guess DFW may see >20 days of 100F for the month. Since a similar ridging pattern as June in July yields higher temps.
Today marks the 20th day for Austin Mabry to be at or above 100. We're on track to have the hottest June on record. Current average is 88.0 degrees. Forecast rain this week will reduce that a few tenths, but the prior record is 87.4 (2008) so this June will likely still beat that.
CORRECTION: If forecast temps (from the rain) are accurate, then Austin Mabry drops down to 84.5 to finish June.
