Some areas along Interstate 35 saw up to 2 inches of rain Tuesday evening, and as of 7:15 p.m., all warnings expired across North Texas.
Another cluster of severe storms broke out a couple hundred miles to the northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was in effect until 11 p.m. If the storms hold together, they will impact areas along and north of Interstate 20 towards 12 a.m. Isolated severe storms are possible.
Looking at temperatures through Saturday -- afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s with increasing humidity. The heat index will be in the upper 90s.
When it comes to the storm threats, an upper-level ridge of high pressure is parked across much of Texas. In North Texas, we're on the northeastern quadrant of this upper high. Upper-level disturbances will travel from northwest to southeast later today through the end of the week. This coupled with the dry line surging out of West Texas and an increase in surface moisture will create thunderstorm chances almost every evening through Friday.

The highest coverage of storms will be Tuesday night and then again Thursday night into Friday, but I can't rule out storms late tomorrow evening, especially towards the Red River Valley.

Our next possible weather change arrives late Saturday into Sunday as a weak cold front parks itself close to the area. It's still way too early to tell how wide the coverage will be, but at least we have rain in the forecast towards the end of the seven day.
Right now, I'm going to keep Monday dry with slightly cooler temperatures. Afternoon highs will be in the mid 80s.
