Hate me for saying it but that would be kind of awesome if that retrograded all the way to us
looking at H5 spaghetti plots for the gefs and still on every member its to our east, actually was a warmer run, i am getting concerned tho it’s getting to close
There's a happy medium in this where we can get a stalled backdoor front with highs 85-90 and storm chances. I want that
This is really cool...probably a weak convergent axis over us too
D10 timeframe leaning warmer on the GEFS 
Glad the euro didn’t go far west with the cutoff, but did trend to one out in the Atlantic, I’d be much more scared if this was hour 160 
45 this morning, so not another record, but we blew through Greensboro’s low of 52.
Oh my...

BTW, the Byron Nelson (PGA Tournament) is currently taking place in McKinney, TX.
Not sure if there's a delay though.

Dayum EPS Is hot
SPC has upgraded much of the DFW Metroplex to a Slight Risk, with a 5% chance of a tornado...
SPC AC 161951
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0251 PM CDT Sun May 16 2021
Valid 162000Z - 171200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong/severe thunderstorms are once again expected across
portions of the central and southern Plains late this afternoon and
evening. Large hail and severe wind gusts are the most likely risks.
Tornado probabilities have been increased to 5%/Slight Risk in parts
of north-central Texas, including the DFW metro area. Earlier this
afternoon, a few weak/brief circulations were noted on KFWS radar
along with reported brief touchdowns with the most organized storm
now in Ellis County. Current radar imagery continues to suggest some
potential for this activity to continue for a few hours. TDFW and
TDAL VWP data continue to show semi-enlarged low-level hodographs. A
couple storms, should they organize, west/south of the metro area
may see similar potential for a brief/weak tornado given some
heating ahead of that activity.
Elsewhere, the outlook remains unchanged.

Actually getting a good peak of the sun now.
Well that's looking like a massive bust

Something to keep in mind as we look at the temperature maps for next weekend... the EURO/EPS have in past years have had a tendency to be too warm when it comes to modeling heat over the southeast. I can recall a number of times, including May 2019, that they were putting out 104-107 degrees heat 5-7 days out and things actually ended up verifying 6-8 degrees lower. I certainly do think we get hot at the end of the week and the weekend and expect many of us to see our first 90 degree temperatures of the year which we will be right around the date we should expect it. However I would not expect anything too crazy like mid 90s+. I’m just looking forward to the warmer nights so my pool water can really start warming up.

Rain ! Come to daddy 
This is gold:
Trend stopped... whew 
Oh wow that’s nice looking 
Well this would be an interesting outcome (note the time of day)...
Flow of storms straight out the North.. Or NNW, haven't seen that in some time.

I'd just like to point that it's cheaper for me to run AC than heat... By a lot. My Electric bills are cheaper by ~$100 a month in the summer than Winter.

Why is AC so much cheaper than heat ?
#NATGAS
And heat uses more electricity
Is it bc you have gas heat?

Except pool lovers. Then they don’t have lightning to contend with
EPS is definitely to hot but geez lol 
The EPS control for laughs

No, just a regular ol heat pump. Once it hits below ~25 mine doesn't exchange heat well and kicks on the heating strips to assist.
Looks like icon is not gonna have issues with the ULL nomore, gotta say it did scare me but glad to
Know we’re gonna roast for sure !
Know we’re gonna roast for sure !
Haha bye bye cutoff 
I get wanting some heat, especially given how cool May has been but I don't think some of you have the realization that by wishing all this heat were heading straight to drought. Which can and will be economically devastating for the SE. Droughts end costing billions and billions of dollars.
Not saying that I want that and don’t mean it as a excuse but many back in April were wanting a freeze which is devastating to AG/cost lots of money/economically hurts just for some records
