Well, another weekend has flown by! I hope you had a great one. It was certainly a hot weekend, with temperatures climbing well into the mid-90s, and we'll keep that summer heat around for today and tomorrow. After that, cooler weather and increasing rain chances return to the forecast as we head into the middle and latter part of the week.
Good morning, everyone!
It's a very balmy start to the day across North Texas, with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s under partly cloudy skies. Highs this afternoon will once again reach the mid-90s, with heat index values approaching 100 degrees. An Air Quality Alert is also in effect today across North Texas.
Tomorrow, a cold front will back in from the northeast. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during the peak heating hours Tuesday afternoon and evening.
By Wednesday, the front will settle a little farther south and west of the area, limiting widespread rainfall, but scattered late-day showers and storms will still be possible. The better rain chances on Wednesday will be west of Highway 281 and into the Big Country.
As we head into Thursday and Friday, the front will begin lifting back to the northeast while a couple of upper-level disturbances move in from the southwest. This setup will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily during the afternoon and evening hours, with coverage increasing compared to earlier in the week. Those rain chances are expected to continue into Saturday before gradually tapering off by Sunday.
Temperatures after today and tomorrow will be noticeably cooler, with highs mainly in the mid-80s thanks to increased cloud cover and rainfall.
If you encounter one of this week's stronger storms, brief heavy rainfall, small hail, gusty wind and frequent lightning will be possible. I'm not overly concerned about flooding at this time, but it's something we'll continue to monitor as the week progresses.
Hope you get some beneficial rain!
Have a great day today and enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
