A nice rain came through this early morning. No severe weather but reports of 40-45 mph winds and lightning. A large swath of 1? plus rains moved across the metro and counties north:

The DFW Airport recorded 1.12? of rain, the first 1? plus rain in 25 days. ?Eagle Mountain Lake recorded 2.58? of rain, around 2? of rain fell in Bedford and University Park. Love Field had 1.49? of rain.

The skies cleared out this afternoon; a northwest winds and morning rain/clouds kept the temperatures in the upper 80?s for highs.

That?s about the end of cooler weather for north Texas for a while. We?ve had a nice start to June a third of the way in. For the next twelve days, the run to the Summer Solstice, we are forecasting the average high to be in the upper 90?s:

Here is a series of forecast maps of the Southern Plains showing the afternoon highs. The hot temperatures that started in the desert southwest will move into the front range and OK/TX panhandles and dig in:

As it heats up it will dry out across the parched areas of Texas (60% of the state is in severe drought or worse). ?Here is another series of forecast maps showing rain chances for the work week ahead:

This is the first heat wave of the season. The DFW Airport hasn?t logged a 100? day or over in about 250 days. There is a good chance that streak could end by Thursday. The low levels of the area reservoirs will only get lower in the two weeks ahead. Summer is here: that?s the hot and dry season in Texas.
