Pattern May Thread

That watch and the moderate risk verified bigtime. A high risk would have verified up there tonight I would think.

This unusual Ring of Fire setup has been very underrated, in the midst of talks about that ---- low in the Atlantic, the drought and the heat...

Obviously, this does not cover the area that the 2012 derecho covered, but this one was a good bit stronger. 2 100+ gusts on the SPC reports page from this this evening.

Besides that, the 2012 event took the typical ESE track that expected with derechos.

Localized as it was, I think all Derecho’s in iowa will be compared to the August 2020 event, from here on out
 
Starting to get into that time of year where cool spells become shorter (if they happen at all). Here's the 6z GFS at ~ day 15. Too far out to take details/outcome seriously but again illustrates what we're now hoping for (cool wise):

00z GFS does show a brief 1-2 day cool down here (well into the fantasy range), but otherwise, it's highs 90*F+ the entire run through...
 
DFW dipped below 70*F right at sunrise, breaking the 5-day streak we had of 70*F+ lows...
 
Nice rain shield and embedded thunderstorms moving in off the Atlantic through the coastal plains, western edge weakening and looks more N then NW movement. Might get clipped here but best totals probably E/NE
 
It's been dumping in Central OK, east of OKC, all morning as a band of strong t'storms keep percolating over that area.

They're under a Flash Flood Warning now, but I imagine at least several inches of rain have already fallen.

.02, barely got clipped lol
 
Need 1 more degree to tie today's record high of 95*F at DFW. We'll see if it happens...

That’s my local thick weather girl! She’s awesome! I think I heard ‘Haboob’ line 57 times last night! I really miss all the good storms! They are usually worse in Western and Central iowa
 
How bout this bad boy?

Yeah and again the same areas south of me that got flooded last week got flooded again

Meanwhile here we broke our streak of upper 80s and low 90s and it actually wasn't hot today. Probably short lived although I'm heading to the coast Sunday night anyway where there will be plenty of heat and humidity

It's ironic because a few weeks ago I was concerned it wouldn't be warm enough yet in mid May(usually I've been going in July but this year I changed things up)... Boy was that unfounded ? looking like near record highs all week

Hopefully the power stays on...

I don't live there anymore but like I'm wondering if we really get a summer like 2011 or 1980 if it will

Which if this pattern doesnt break in the next few weeks becomes a lot more likely

It can also go the way of 1996, too...
