Looking ahead to July 4

Plenty of heat! As of now, the holiday is looking dry with highs around 100°. Heat index values will certainly be higher than that during the afternoon. Any rain chances look like they will hold off until after the holiday, so fireworks festivities will be totally fine!

INDEPENDENCE DAY FORECAST

Weekend relief and rain!

A weak cold front will move south into North Texas at the end of the week. As of now, this looks to bring scattered rain Friday, Saturday, and into Sunday with highest coverage Friday into Friday night.

The severe threat looks low at this point and rain is not guaranteed for everyone. Regardless, the increased cloud cover and rain around the area will provide a respite from the triple digits.

Our pattern looks to stay active into next week with rain chances continuing and temps staying below 100°.
