An overall pleasant July 3rd is expected today with below-normal temperatures, occasional light rain showers, and a few thunderstorms. If a thunderstorm does occur, it should not last too long, but may create some minor/brief interruptions to outdoor events. No severe weather is expected.

Morning showers and storms will gradually decrease through the day Friday, with most precipitation likely gone around sunset. While no severe weather is expected, anticipate impacts from lightning, brief downpours, and gusty winds should a storm move into your area.

Seasonable temperatures over the weekend will climb to above-normal values by the middle of next week as high pressure strengthens overhead. There will be a chance of storms along the Red River, with a 10-20% chance of these storms making it south to the I-20 corridor on Sunday. The extended outlook indicates a return to near-normal temperatures and above-normal rainfall.
