Powerball

Not necesssarily warmer temps, but a baroclinic zone with an extreme temp gradient for good forcing/instability and (more importantly) an upper flow that's not hauling ass, so that troughs have enough time to dig & close off.

I'm pretty sure when he says "big snow," he's specifically talking about a big dog (which the bare minimum to qualify IMO, outside the mountains and eastward-facing snow belts, would be 12"). That's just my ha'penny of a contribution to the pedantic conversation as merely an observer from halfway across the country...

Officially at DFW, November 2025 will tie for the 4th warmest on record while the 2025 Fall will tie for the 2nd warmest on record.

Today will really kncok down the monthly average, but it should still up being a top 5 (if not top 3) warmest November on record for DFW. In addition, on the heels of 2024 which was the 3rd warmest Autumn on record for DFW, 2025 id on track for a top 5 or top 3 warmest Autumn as well.

I remember watching it live. The best part about it? That was actually a massive forecast bust. In the run up to the game, only maybe 1-3" at best was expected befoe it transitioned to rain (of course, by the time they realized the forecast was going to be a bust, they were already too far into the game to postpone it). Best game ever...

UPDATE: 3.95" is the official final total per FWD...

Bullseye! https://x.com/wfaaweather/status/1991697682084122874?t=kJ5x6yrdEHdWtt8gWCUCJw&s=19 This was also the wettest November day on record for DFW with 3.92" of rain today.

While the temps may be trending warmer, the winters have also been trending snowier and stormier for you all who are along/north of I-80. IMO, that's a good trade off.

I'm not sure it's possible to get hard data on it, but I know @michsnowfreak has expressed the same feeling on multiple occasions.

Clippers have to be an endangered species at this point, but it's been that way for a while. I remember them being quite common in the 90s through mid-2000s.

DFW apparently did set another record high minimum yesterday with a low of only 68*F (the previous record was 67*F).

For DFW, aside from shattering today's record high of 83*F, if the low of 72*F holds it will break the previous record high minimum of 70*F. The record high of 87*F was also tied yesterday.

DFW also achieved a high of 89*F today, breaking the previous record of 87*F set in 1960.
