Texas Summer 2023

With that said, the 18z HRRR keeps everything NE of all but the far outlying portions of DFW. Don't want any hail or wind damage but kept thinking that given this run of days, we would have gotten a good soaking in DFW at some point

You don't want to be on the southern edge of this line, for sure.

One thing for sure if you do get rain, very high rates with the crazy dews.

Both cells in OK now with the destructive tag for baseball hail.

The storm environment is on the
extremes for supercells, such that giant hail of 4-5 inches in
diameter will be possible.

Yeah, I'm thinking contractor because that will also punch through your roof and cause damage inside your house.

Hope everyone has a spot to hide their car if you get under one of these hailers!!

Both my minivan and Ford focus fit in my garage. One of the few who can do so in my neighborhood.

Guy down the street bought a new quad cab Chevrolet. He got the hail blimp protector for it.

We could be running this back on Saturday

Tornado watch until 10pm.

My weather station is reading a temp of 92F, DP of 81F (!), and heat index of 112F. It might be a degree or so high on the dewpoint but that's pretty crazy. You usually don't see that kind of dewpoint unless you're in the middle of an Iowa cornfield in July during a hot/wet year.

There should be "before corn" and "after corn" dew point records.

Tornado on ground in Lawton.

I grew up in Iowa and can attest to the terrible humidity from the corn during the summer. This feels very similar. I was pretty young, but I remember the heatwave of July 1995 pretty well. Cedar Rapids had a heat index of 131.

That supercell cluster in SW Oklahoma seems to be tracking pretty hard SE.

So are we throwing out HRRR runs at this point? I'm still not seeing anything on it to the west and SW of DFW but looks like things are trying.....

Thoughts?

It's just refusing to acknowledge the storms in Texas lol

Same, I also grew up in Iowa and I remember that heat wave too. We had a bank in town that would show the actual temperature and the feels like temperature. I don't remember what it showed exactly but it was definitely in the 120's.

Despite extreme CAPE and a SCP pushing 20, the only cell west of DFW has now died. Looks like the cells to the SW will miss DFW to the South, and the HRRR is consistently showing the storms in OK missing DFW to the NE. Looks like another non-event for DFW. Maybe we will get some rain on Saturday, lol
