Edouard Brings Rain Before a Dry Weekend

DFW Rainless Streak Now in Top 10 All Time

Today, low storm chances are in place for Southeast and Central Texas. Isolated storms could produce frequent lightning, as well as providing some much-needed rainfall to our region. Highs will peak around the century mark, with heat indices up to 105. While humidity will be higher, a fire threat will remain elevated for areas to the north and west of DFW.

Localized beneficial rain amounts are possible mainly across southeast Central TX midweek. Tropical Storm Edouard is currently in the Gulf, and is expected to move WNW into the Upper Texas coast, bringing increased moisture and rain chances to mainly our east and southeastern counties Wednesday-Thursday. Storm coverage will peak in the afternoon and evenings. Not everyone will see meaningful rain! Most likely amounts for SE Central TX are 1 to 2", with isolated higher amounts to 3". Western North TX is likely to miss out, with rain chances remaining around 10% or less. Regardless, the additional moisture and cloud cover should bring a break to the entire region by cooling temperatures off slightly.

DFW has a current streak of 47 days without any measurable rainfall (at least 0.01"). This is now the 10th longest number of consecutive days without any measurable precipitation. A few spots did get rain in DFW last week with an isolated storm, but the official climate site at DFW Airport only measured a trace of rain, keeping the streak alive. This August in particular is among the driest on record. Only one year has ever recorded 0.00” for the month of August (2000). August 2026 will end up being one of only eight times to only measure a trace for the whole month (1902, 1913, 1929, 1943, 1980, 1999, 2023).
