Scattered storms (40-60% chance) are expected to develop across portions of North Texas this afternoon as a weak cold front approaches the region but stalls out in Oklahoma. Coverage this afternoon will be much more isolated (20-30%) between I-20 and US-84 with locations generally along and south of US-84 remaining dry today. While most storms will only contain lightning, brief heavy rain and gusty winds, a couple damaging wind gusts can’t be ruled out north of along or north of the I-20 corridor. Isolated showers and storms (10-30%) may linger across portions of North Texas tonight before showers and storms (30-50% chance) re-develop across portions of North and Central Texas Friday afternoon.
After a couple days of unsettled weather, hot and dry conditions will return to North and Central Texas beginning this weekend and persisting into the beginning of next work week. Temperatures will remain above average with highs around 100 degrees in urban areas across the region.
DFW’s hot and dry weather streak has continued another day as of September 9th with now 56 days straight without measurable rain and a total of 45 days with highs at or above 100° so far this year. Rain chances today and tomorrow will result in a very real chance for the current dry streak to be broken. However, near 100° temperatures will continue to linger this weekend into next week likely adding a few more days of 100+ temperatures to this year’s final total.
