How did the winter of 1925 do in Dallas!? That’s most important info we need now that you’ve suffered through the heat!:weenie:108 at the airport earlier... even for Dallas in July this is record heat... broke the record from 1925 and it appears more records will be threatened through the weekend

Giddy up! Got one at the house too. Hope to have at least 2-4 by this time next weekGetting the first rain shower of the 2018 Big Summer Wet!
Today's edition of MBY wx, the big "S" edition, and a followup to the above post:
- I ended up with somewhere in the unreal range of 2.5-3" on Monday (7/16) from 2 thunderstorms as well as some general rains, easily the heaviest of the month to date.
- Yesterday (7/17), I got another PM thunderstorm giving me ~1/4-1/2".
- Today (7/18): I got ~1.5" from a series of 2 thunderstorms over the last 2 hours or so, which makes it 2nd to 7/16 for the wettest day of July so far. On 7/7, I had received 1-1.5" for the 3rd wettest day of this month.
- So, the last 3 days have given me ~4.25-5" of rain, which is just under the normal for the entire month of ~5.5-6"! The month to date (7/1-18) is likely near the 6-7.5" range or at least double the normal of just over 3"!
BOOM! Today took the cake with a whopping 3.5" of rain in just one hour from a very heavy thunderstorm 4:15-5:15 PM that formed along a stationary front!! This was likely the heaviest rainfall I've witnessed here in one hour in at least several years. Numerous streets were impassible, ditches/canals were bankful or overflowing. Many cars got stuck. What made this worse was that it fell near high tide and the ground was already saturated from ~5-6" of rain just the prior 4 days, which included near 3/4" yesterday. Total for the last 5 days near an incredible 8.5-9"!! Month to date is near 10.5-12" vs normal of only 3.5"...so I've received ~triple the normal.
