It doesn't get better than this in July! We lose 15 minutes of daylight in the next 2 weeks also... If we can just get through the next few weeks..

It’s unusual, about 5-10 degrees below average, but really need some rain!
 
Forecast temps may just bust today.

Getting a nice garden variety t'storm this morning on the tail end of what's left of that MCS that tracked through NE / KS / OK. It's been raining cats & dogs for at least a good 30 minutes. Even got a decent pop of wind ahead of it (nothing severe, but a stiff breeze).

As is typical with these ridge riders, it ended up tracking furthwr SW than models projected.

Something possessed FWD to issue a heat advisory yesterday evening for Dallas and Tarrant Counties. That obviously ain't happening todah (not even certain 90s will happen) and has been cancelled.

After's yesterday'a cool down, we're back on track.

Heat advisory in effect until 8pm Wednesday (and will no doubt be extended).

This airmass is something else though with how efficiently it heats up.

Yet again, despite being socked in with convective debris all morning with light showers, highs still recovered into the low/mid 100s.

At last, we have a morning with plenty of blue sky and good insolation.

We'll be interesting to see what difference that makes with the highs.

Either way, off to the races!

Achieved an intra-hour high of 101*F early in the afternoon before the outflow boundary (pseudo-front) moved through. DFW's currently at 10 days AOA 100*F for the season.

I did speak too soon about the cloud cover, because an altostratus cloud deck quickly filled in not long after my post this morning and stuck around for much of the day.
 
Some nice garden variety storms moving through

It's a nice way to get brief relief from the 100s.
 
Tulsa only hit 93 thanks to nearby storms at peak heating but the heat is on tomorrow. We've only hit 100 once so far but probably will make a run for it tomorrow. Also the dewpoints are back to being sky high again

But there's still a front on Friday... Seems to be the pattern heat peaks mid week then the weekend is actually not terrible

I've noticed the pattern too

We'll get 4-5 days of 100s in Dallas, a brief 2-3 day "cool down," then another several-day streak with 100s (rinse, wash and repeat).
 
As of 3pm, DFW is at 107*F, making it the new hottest day of the year.

We're two degrees away from tying the hottest day of the year in 2022.
