For everyone getting sick of the rain, you’re in luck.
Dallas-Fort Worth’s streak of summer showers should come to an end Wednesday, bringing sunshine and clear skies. The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth expects the high to top out at 94 degrees, slightly below the region’s mid-July average.
As multiple days of mostly clear skies or full sun warm the region, temperatures are projected to climb to the upper 90s by the end of the week. The Dallas-Fort Worth area still hasn’t had its first 100-degree day of the year, and few heat advisories, if any, have been issued to residents.
The comparatively cooler summer is a welcome relief to most residents, but has come as a surprise for a region accustomed to breaking heat records. The tide may still turn in the second half of summer, as the Climate Prediction Center expects a high probability that temperatures will be above average for the next two weeks.
