If December cannot produce, then February will

DFW's overacheiving by several degrees again today. As of 1pm, it's 76*F.

This is disgusting. At least some showers are popping up on the radar.

Front is moving through Denton and NW Tarrant counties. May not be huge temp drop but dewpoints will initially.

I think we need to change the title of this thread to "Heat Miser's Winter". Looking like temps in the 80s for Christmas Day. Good biking weather. Last week, there was an article in the Chronicle where they discussed the ERCOT's meteorologist observation that the pattern is similar to prior to the 2021 snow/ice/freeze event. He is predicting a major event this winter. Not in December, though.

DFW is gettting slammed with a strong t'storm that has popped up along the front.

Just getting the cirrus blow off here, but it's suddenly gotten quite dark.

Yeah it's very dark out here. Quite the line has formed, when was the last time a front was accompanied by a decent line of storms?!

It's hailing here in Las Colinas at my daughter's school.

Got nothing more than light rain / sprinkles here and the faintest rumbles of thunder occasionally.

Congrats to those who are lucky enough to end up under the storm cells.

GFS brings back the alaskan ridge by the 29th, so just before new years

Looks like the storm sw of Irving is gonna give it one more try to produce some severe weather. Feels noticeably warmer here in Dallas than it did 30 min ago and lightning activity has really increased. Seems there’s still some juice in this atmosphere after all.

[JayDT]

It got really dark out of no where, and now the lightning is almost nonstop..

Gosh I hope so because the GFS has near record highs after Christmas here when will it ever end

[gpsnowman]

This far out, gefs and eps are your friends in determining what may or may not happen. Op runs change alot

1.32" of rainfall for DFW airport. Could've been 13.2" of snow!

On this day in 1983 there was 2" of snow at the airport in what kick started that deep freeze through the end of the month. In 1989 a record low of 12F also happened on this date.

Texas storm chasers posted a video of the supercell producing a funnel cloud/mesocyclone near DFW airport, i think the storm should have had a warning on it.
