Very warm week ahead with few showers possible ahead of Fourth of July in North Texas
It was a dry and hot day across North Texas. The high Monday was 94 degrees, which is seasonable for this time of the year. However, with all the moisture available in the atmosphere, temperatures felt more like the triple digits.
The heat and moisture will be tapped into Monday evening due to a front that will move into the region. Scattered showers and storms will be expected; some storms may even reach severe limits. In fact, the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal risk for cities to the north of I-20. Winds of 60 mph or stronger are the primary threat Monday night.
By Tuesday, the front stalls near the Red River Valley. This could initiate more storms during the afternoons on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Moving into the latter part of the work week and into the July Fourth weekend, conditions clear and temperatures climb. Independence Day looks to be hot, cloudy, and breezy, which is favorable for watching fireworks.
