Hot Tuesday with Isolated Central TX Storms

Edouard Brings Rain Before a Dry Weekend

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.
