Quick Notes:
- Typical June heat for Father's Day
- Rain chances return next week
- Temps may drop a little bit
Father's Day
Typical June heat will continue on Father's Day with highs in the 90s area-wide. Most will be in the low to mid 90s, which is right around where we should be this time of year. Of course the humidity will be out there as well so it will feel like the mid to upper 90s during the afternoon.
The forecast will also stay dry for Father's Day with no rain on the horizon.
Next rain chances
Right now, the chances look to be in the form of isolated to scattered showers and storms. BUT, we will have to see how an area of unsettled weather in the Gulf of Mexico behaves. As of now, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area in the southern Gulf with a medium chance for tropical development in the next seven days.
Regardless if this system develops into a tropical depression or storm, tropical moisture will increase in Texas and North Texas next week. That will help scattered showers and storms to develop most afternoons. Better rain chances and higher totals will be along the Texas Coast and areas inland.
If the system stays farther south, then rain coverage will be lower for North Texas. If the system drifts farther north, then rain coverage and rainfall totals will increase for our area.
There is also an area of low pressure that is gaining strength in the Southwestern Atlantic. The system has already dumped two feet of rain in some parts of Southern Florida and is now located off of the southeastern coast of the U.S. It has a 30% chance of further tropical development as it travels east into the Atlantic over the next seven days. Fortunately, the system no longer poses a threat to land.

Plenty of heat, but no triple digits...yet.
