Severe storms for some Sunday night and Monday morning.
Storms coming out of Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle this evening will move into North Texas overnight and into tomorrow morning. The metroplex is under a marginal risk for seeing severe storms capable of producing 60 mph wind gusts. The highest threat of 65 – 70 mph wind gusts will be west of the metroplex. The hail threat looks minimal. Heavy rain will be likely for your morning commute. Storms will likely reach the metroplex between 6 – 9 AM.
Rain Timeline
Storm coverage will stay pretty isolated for the rest of our Sunday evening. Another round of strong storms is expected overnight and into Monday morning. This will likely impact the morning rush hour so plan ahead and give yourself extra time!
Heat dome takes over by Tuesday
A strong ridge of high pressure, often referred to as a heat dome, is expanding over the southwestern U.S. and is expected to shift eastward into Texas early this week. By Tuesday, the center of this high-pressure system will settle over North Texas, bringing with it a stretch of hot, dry, and stagnant weather. As this dome of high pressure strengthens, it effectively traps hot air near the surface while also suppressing cloud development and blocking out any chances for rain. This means much of the region will see very little relief from the heat during the day or night.
14 Day Forecast
Another round of storms is expected Monday morning. After Monday, rain chances will be hard to come by for awhile. We will be back in our dry and hot summer weather pattern!
