Low Storm Chances Today and Tomorrow

Next Week: Still Hot and Dry

Low chances (10-20%) for isolated showers and thunderstorms have returned to the area today into tomorrow. Most will remain dry this afternoon, but a couple storms can’t be ruled out in the Brazos Valley. Overnight, isolated storms should stay confined to areas near the Red River before low (10-20%) storm chances expand to much of North and Central Texas during the day tomorrow. Whether you see storms or not, expect high temps in the upper-90s to the lower-100s each afternoon.

Next week looks to be hot and dry for North and Central Texas in typical late-summer fashion. The heat will be similar to what we've experienced this week, with feels-like temperatures peaking between 100-105 each day. Meanwhile, fire potential is rising as vegetation continues to dry up in the absence of any significant rainfall across our area.
