Today/tmrw (30%-40%) clearly the best chances for rainfall across #DFW Metroplex over the next week, as weak low pressure aloft lingers over north TX for nxt 1-2 days. Reverts back to hot/humid w/near zero rain Thursday thru Tuesday. Max Ts revert back to mid/upr 90s also. #txwx.

Further proof of how tepid this summer has been at #DFW. Today marks only the 4th time this year that the min temp was at or above 80. Ties 2021 for the fewest since 2005. The 30 yr avg. for this has gone from 5 in 2000 to 16 thru 2024. I see a hockey stick type of figure. #txwx

For only the 2nd time ever, Midland, TX (MAF) records a 500mb height of 6000+ meters. Only previous time was 6/29/94. 1st time I can recall five (5) different stations reporting 6000+ meter heights at 50h. Further evidence of the heat dome setting up over NM/AZ/west TX. #txwx

500 mb height of 5980 meters at Midland, TX this AM is a daily max value, and ties for the 3rd highest ever. Center likely near 6000 meters over NM/AZ. No 12z soundings from ABQ/TUS preclude determining this. Either way, record heat likely nxt few days over much of AZ/NM. #nmwx

Fantastic Op-Ed piece here by Jennifer Nagorka in the DMN. The similarities to the Big Thompson Canyon flood in CO in 1976 and Kerrville are eerily similar. There are lessons to learn.

Zero is a value. If something has occurred ZERO times previously, that is clearly the number to beat. Seems amazing, but the fact that 2 years have seen ZERO 100F days needs to count somewhere.

Max T today at #DFW of either 99F or 100F. Tomorrow is a lock for 100/101. Either way, this will be the latest first 100F day of the summer at DFW, and the latest since 2019, when it occurred on 7/30. About 1 month later than usual, which is 7/1. #txwx.

Today will clearly be the 1st day this year at #DFW with max temp at or above 98F. Latest this has occurred since 2002. Avg 1st date for this is June 19. Should hit either 99F or 100F today. #txwx.

Heat Index (HI) of 109F (94F over 77F) this afternoon at 6pm at Houston Hobby Apt (HOU) ties the highest HI value of the year so far at HOU. They were also 109F (95F over 76F) on 7/21 at 4pm. I think Heat Advisory criteria is 108F. #txwx.

Hi temp of only 96F at #DFW today. Still has not hit 98F here this year. Now the 11th latest for this to occur, and the latest since 2002. 2002 is the 10th latest for this, happening on 7/24. This should happen tomorrow. #txwx.
