Heavy Gulf Coast rain is possible as we closely monitor tropical development, while monsoonal storms persist in the Southwest with heavy rainfall. Hazardous heat expands from the Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley. Read More >

Hot With Low Rain Chances Today

Strong high pressure will build across much of the southern U.S. leading to above normal temperatures likely the rest of this month. Across North and Central Texas this will result in highs ranging from the upper-90s into the mid-100s with heat indices nearing 110 degrees some days. While this heat will likely continue through next week as well, there is a weak signal for a couple low rain chances by the end of the month.

Near or slightly below normal temperatures are expected again today with highs well into the 90s for most. A couple stray showers or thunderstorms (10-15% chance) will be possible across North Texas during the afternoon and evening hours. This will likely be the last day for a while that we see any sort of precipitation in North and Central Texas as strong high pressure will bring plenty of sun and summer heat through this upcoming week.
