Rain Chances Rest of Week

Rainfall Totals

Warmer Temps Ahead

Some lingering showers and storms will continue near and north of I- 20 this evening and overnight. A few storms from Oklahoma may creep southward toward the Red River on Wednesday morning.

Scattered rain chances continue through Saturday mainly north of a Graham to DFW to Canton line. During this period, storms in Oklahoma may cross into parts of North Texas each day or every other day. If these storms leave around boundaries, the chance for rain may be expanded south and/or west at times. Gusty winds and lightning will be the main hazards with any storms. Some periodic heavy rain may also occur.

Rainfall totals have varied significantly across the region over the past week. Some locations have seen over 7 inches of rainfall while others received less than an inch. Overall, most of North and Central Texas averaged around 2 to 3 inches of rain over the past week.

Warmer temperatures are expected the remainder of the week with highs in the upper 90s and lows in the mid to upper 70s. Heat index values will be around 105 degrees in some areas during the afternoon hours.
