Good morning, DFW. Here’s what you need to know today.
Your Weather Planner
More typical summer heat for your Wednesday along with more afternoon pop-up showers and storms. Expect a mix of sun and clouds as temperatures climb back into the 90s, with many of us feeling like the upper 90s and triple digits. A slightly increased chance of afternoon showers and storms is in the forecast again today, driven by the sea breeze off the Gulf. We’ll also keep a close eye on west Texas where widespread showers could lead to instances of flooding.

3. Despite recent rain, much of Texas remains abnormally dry
Despite the downpours we’ve seen over the past several weeks, a good chunk of Central and West Texas remains abnormally to severely dry. According to the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), Lake Buchanan and Lake Travis both saw some slight increases in water supply.
