  • Highs stay near to below normal for at least a week
  • Heavy rain possible from Beryl

Finally...

It's the break many in North Texas have been waiting for! After what seemed like endless heat advisories and extreme heat warnings, 6 triple-digit days, and heat index values of 110+... rain chances and "cooler" temps are here! 

Let's start with the rain

Did you enjoy some rain on Friday? While not everyone saw it, many did. If you missed out, don't worry. There's more where that came from! 

After Hurricane Beryl makes landfall somewhere along the Texas coast early in the week, the remnants will begin to spread northward. Moisture from those remnants will enhance rain chances in North Texas for the middle of the week. This will help keep temperatures down, too!

The exact track of Beryl will be a HUGE factor in who sees the heaviest rain totals.

At this time (and this very well could shift) it's more likely to the east of the metroplex.

Central and North Texas counties to the east of IH-35 will receive the most rain

Rain totals over the next 7 days look pretty solid for many in the state. It's obvious the highest rain totals are going to be in South Texas and along parts of the coast with the direct impacts from Beryl. That's where flash flooding could be a bigger  problem. Here in North Texas, we cannot emphasize enough: The exact path will have HUGE impacts on who gets the heaviest rain totals. And the cutoff on those rain totals could be sharp.

14 Day

"Cool" is certainly not the right word, but a nice break from the high heat is coming! Over the next 7 days, highs will be near, or even below, normal! There may be even a day or here highs stay in the 80s for some. Enjoy the nice change while you can! We all know it's never long-lasting here in the middle of summer.
