far greater than 5,000 across the board.

Damn, that’s pretty impressive. Lots of fuel out there.

Just go look at the mesoscale models. That’s what I do.

It's extremely rare to see Surface CAPE values exceeding 8,000 J/kg anywhere across the country, any time of the year, let alone over portions of SE Texas. Yet earlier this evening between 2100Z & 2300Z, that's exactly what we saw... SPC MAP - SURFACE CAPE - 5.27.2024 - 2100.png SPC MAP - SURFA...

What’s up with all the haze outside? Smoke coming from wildfires in Mexico or something? There’s not even any sun out. Just a bunch of overcast skies and haze around. We've had haze for 10 days+. Initially there was an inversion layer and the humid air was trapped and not able to rise. Looks like a...

What’s this show?

The purple is heat index 114..the orange, 105.

97°F here currently with a DP of 79° making it feel like 117°F. Can you say f that?

We didn’t even have a heat index that high last summer. Wild.

Models are beginning to look better for some rain further south. The GFS and CMC both look a little better now compared to previous runs and the 12z HRRR has a pretty potent looking MCS moving through early Wednesday morning.

10:30AM here and only at 86°F.

I agree. I believe there could be more rain further south as well like what the Euro is showing. CPC forecast looks pretty good for us.

Another day with another north of I-10 special forecast from the WPC:

Yes. Haven’t been able to access it all morning.

7 fatalities have been confirmed from the NTX tornado last night

I grew up at a very similar latitude and mostly similar climate in SW Louisiana. It was hot in the Summer growing up, but I’m hard pressed to remember hating Summer this much. Lol. Perhaps it’s just me getting older. Probably. The heat didn’t bother me much when I was a kid. It still doesn’t bother...

I hope you’re not sitting on the visitors side lol you’ll get cooked.

The 12z Euro is literally just a tease for me.

95°F here with a feels like of 106°F. DP of 73°.

Glad I don’t live where y’all do.

That Mexico ridge needs to go kick rocks. It’s also cooking the SW Gulf and BOC.

91°F here with a DP of 75° and feels like 103°F. Nowhere near as bad as a lot of y’all others.

Looks like the ridge over Mexico might be too close to give us much rain over the next week or two. Guess we’ll see what that ridge does, but that’s the reason why south of I-10 hasn’t had that much rain overall.

This has to be the cloudiest Spring that I can remember in CLL.

I had a DP of 78° this morning. Absolutely terrible
