Good morning, DFW. Here’s what you need to know today.
Your Weather Planner
We’ve got a refreshing start ahead on this last Wednesday of July. Low humidity and dry air will have much of the state waking up to temperatures in the 60s. Although brief, enjoy this pleasant start before more heat moves in this afternoon. Humidity will increase through the rest of the week as high pressure shifts to our west. This will allow just enough room for a rare summer cold front to sneak in later this week, bringing small chances for rain and slightly lower temperatures in the low 90s as we begin the month of August.
