It's still severe weather season and there's a threat for isolated storms today, but especially tomorrow and Thursday. All modes of severe weather are possible as well as areas of flooding.
We hit 91° Monday. We also hit that number on Saturday and Sunday. Why not hit it again today? Right? We'll get the morning clouds out of here this morning and I'm expecting plenty of sunshine today, with a strong breeze and plenty of humidity. I can't rule out a late-day shower or storm mainly west of DFW. If any do break the cap, it will go severe quickly. Good news is they'll be few and far between.
Wednesday and Thursday could get pretty dicey around here. A cold front will sag into the area tomorrow afternoon and evening producing scattered storms. Some of these will become severe with hail, wind, and an isolated tornado in areas. Not everyone will see severe storms. Afternoon highs will top out near 90°.
This front will start to lift back to the north on Thursday. Right now, I think the best chance for severe storms, scattered in nature, will be a long and north of Interstate 20. Hail and wind will be the threats on Thursday as well as heavy rain with some flooding due to the saturated ground. Afternoon highs will top out in the mid 80s... if we're lucky.
Friday and Saturday will be mainly dry as we heat back up into the low '90s. I can't rule out a late day storm each afternoon and evening, however most of you will stay dry.
Sunday will be hot, beezy and humid ...with afternoon highs in the mid 90s. Heat index values will be above 100°.
Extended data is showing a cold front possibly moving through the area on Memorial Day. It's still too early to tell if it will produce any storms, but I will definitely keep you posted. Afternoon highs will be near 90°. Much cooler next Tuesday!
Have a terrific day everyone, please stay weather aware especially on Wednesday and Thursday, and also.... don't forget to enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
