Overview

  • A stalled front moved into North Texas on August 1, capping highs in the mid-90s and ending a three-day streak of 100°F readings.
  • The front triggered afternoon showers and an overnight complex of storms expected to deliver heavy rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning.
  • The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center highlighted a slight (level 2 of 4) flash flooding risk north of I-20 and east of I-35.
  • Dry conditions are forecast to return by Monday afternoon under a building ridge of high pressure, with highs climbing back toward 100°F by late next week.
  • The Climate Prediction Center’s July 30 outlook gives North Texas a 60–70% chance of above-normal temperatures in the 6–10 day window and equal odds for normal precipitation in August.
