May 2021 Discussion Thread

Looks like DFW's average highs for JJA and September increased roughly 1*F for each month with the 1991 - 2020 normals.

It seems April and May's average went down 2-3*F though.
 
Friday could be an interesting day. From RAH:

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 400 AM Thursday...

The weak surface low over the eastern Carolinas will move offshore
during the afternoon as one last potent shortwave swings through the
base of the mid/upper level trough centered over the southern mid-
Atlantic states.

Ongoing rain showers Friday morning should become more widespread
and more convective in nature with scattered thunderstorms possible
by late morning and into the afternoon
as weak instability (500-750
J/kg MLCAPE) develops in response to increasing insolation beneath
the cold -H5 temps of 23 to -25C and steep mid-level lapse rates of
7-8 C/km. Given low freezing level heights of 5-7 kft, any decent
updraft could prove to be a proficient small hail/graupel producer
.
Convection is expected to shift east through the afternoon, and
should exit the coastal/eastern counties by sunset.

Cooler on Friday, due to the clouds and rain. Breezy with highs
ranging from mid 60s north to lower 70s south.
Clearing and renewed
CAA will result in chilly temps Friday night. Lows in the mid to
upper 40s(7 to 10 degrees below normal).
 
Given the shallow cape tho probably gonna be lots of small hail in cells vs large hail
