N TX Weather #2

[TexasStooge]

Don't mean to be a little off-topic, but many of us are still talking about the explosions that happened near Downtown Dallas. The good news is that the weather cooperated with firefighters as they contained the fire.

Anyways, from today on, we'll see isolated to scattered thunderstorms, with the best chances on Friday and Saturday. There is no potential flood threat for this region, but if anything like that should happen, the NWS will be issuing flood alerts.

Last night, we had some isolated thunderstorms pass through the DFW area. Many area got more than a tenth of an inch of rain, and this trend will continue through August.

Speaking of next month, according to the weather models on ABC affiliate WFAA-TV, we're gonna have more of the same as we did for 2 months now.

Well, this is the day we're supposed to dry out...WRONG!!! An upper level disturbance along with a cool front continue to hang around the North Texas region, bringing storm after storm. All the rain chances will slowly dissipate throughout the week and then, we'll have much hotter temperatures (That's more like it, why hasn't that happened earlier this summer?).

Earlier, we had an area of heavy rain and thunderstorms in Tarrant County, but all that has moved Southeast away from the immediate DFW area. Some residents in western Dallas County were seeing a nice lightning show first thing this morning. We are still expecting scattered thunderstorms throughout the day, with rain chances withering by the weekend. Then, we'll see some summer-like weather beginning Sunday.

Guess you could say, summer returned...2 months too late.

Those in the immediate DFW area, put away your umbrellas, summer weather is coming to North Texas (a little late though, but that's alright. School doesn't start until the 27th of this month). Highs will rise to the upper 90s to near 100 on Tuesday with lows near 80 under Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy skies.

If you are gonna be bringing your umbrella, you can use it to shield yourself from the hot sun rays, otherwise, bring out your swimming stuff, sunblock, sunglasses, drinks (non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated) and enjoy the sunny weather!

Summer heat is making its return, albeit 2 months too late, but many of us Texans have until the 27th to soak up the summer weather before school starts back up.
