Texas Spring 2018

[Ntxw]

Looks like DFW hit 95 today, earlier in the week 100 looked possible. Small victories, I guess.

The 95 is 1F shy of the daily record, 96F in 1956

GFS has a fairly soggy memorial day weekend!

I was thinking the record was a lock a just a couple of days ago but it was still too hot today for this early in the year!

LOCK IT IN FOR SUNDAY!!!

Not horrible for DFW

I hope I am wrong on this in every way. I'd love nothing more than a cool snap and rain. But the ENS shows the growing party of the 500mb Sonoran death ridge to end May/early June. We might see a stretch of very hot weather and the CPC has highlighted such a risk. It's too early for strings of 100s, but probably hotter than what we saw the past week. The next few days will probably be the best days we got for awhile.

Also as a friendly reminder the summer thread will open on June 1st marking the end of meteorological spring.

If May is any indication we are in serious weather caca. It was so hot yesterday I was sweating in my living room watching the Rangers. September is a long ways away. Sigh. Above average heat with drought slowly creeping in is not a good thing. Another thing, the ground is showing big cracks already and grass is browning like it is mid summer. In the middle of May which should be peak green season.

You beat me to it! I was about to post that. Interesting how localized it is.

The Pacific ITCZ is lit up like a Christmas tree. Unfortunately we don't have a 500mb strong trof to our west/southwest to draw it up. Weakness is sitting over Florida and the southeast

GFS went from NO rain to now heavy rains Sunday! Dropping 1-2" just W of Austin

Getting a bit of rain in DRT...... been a while...

[bubba hotep]

Storms about to push into W Falls?

[gpsnowman]

Steve McCauley mentions an outflow boundary from the current storms near Wichita Falls could set us up for some storms tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Finally a decent complex coming through!

Was out running this morning and got some occasional streamer showers.

After that, i was just now walking the dog, and it just came down hard! Pouring right now!

Both the dog and I raced back to the house. We are both SOAKED! I love it! Not sure if dog loves it.lol

[bubba hotep]

Last night the CAMs had options for today ranging from a decaying system moving in from the NW to storms firing later today along an outflow. I don't recall any showing a complex moving in from the SW lol

[DonWrk]

Looks beautiful coming in! Hoping for a good soaking!

Southern flank of this has slowed down some while the eastern flank is weakening. Usually a sign some training might occur over some areas as streamer storms are moving northward slowly with surging low level moisture.

Goes East imagery of the southern plains this morning. Sorry to those with data limits!
