DFW is getting hammered right now!

It split the airport 0.00 so far. East and west are getting good thunderstorms.

FYI Euro and Ensembles do not look good medium to long range. After Earl's deepening as it gains latitude, 500mb pattern shifts troughs on east and west coasts with ridge in the middle. Certainly hope this is false alarm.

Analogs set supports it sadly.

Of course, the DFW airport dry slot curse!

I think the storms broke the anemometer in DFW

And now, back to your regularly scheduled drought.

The break was nice and will help.

The never ending summer continues…

Got a nice 0.78" last night from an isolated, persistent cluster of storms that did not want to die and kept redeveloping along an outflow boundary.

The next 10 days look hot and humid. Still summer but October is near.

It is all relative of course . 90-95 in August is lovely, in September too hot. Mind games.

Waiting for that first 59F or lower.

A few days ago we had like a 70% chance of rain here for Saturday, Sunday, and today. All I picked up was some drizzle Saturday night. Can’t remember of a time where the forecast looked that promising and I got basically crickets. Disappointed big time.

Yeah, going to the Brushy Creek trail this morning, it is green, saturated and muddy at this time.

In a perfect world, would be great to hypothetically get some dry out time for a few days or so (if you've gotten several inches in the last couple weeks like I have), then get an inch or so of rain, then break, then rain, etc. Would slowly, eventually fill up the lakes and aquifers without damage.

But that rarely happens that way. Usually it's a massive flood that fills up the watersheds in a day. Then it's bone dry for six months.lol.

Just saw a 65 at the end of the Fox4 forecast a week from tomorrow. About fell out my chair.

My area has mid-50s around the same time as well!

Cells firing right over downtown FTW and a small cell over North Dallas.

Storm over Parker County is producing some decent hail

Man I sure hope so but the NWS isn't buying it yet

It's on a local met (KFOR news 4)

NWS-Norman is buying in low 60s in that timeframe.
