A Little More Rain Possible

Storms broke out early this afternoon, while no severe thunderstorms warnings were issued areas of heavy rain and strong winds moved over the metroplex and southern counties. Meacham Airport registered 1.03" of rain this afternoon while DFW just recorded a trace. Below you can see how most of the precipitation fell in Tarrant County down to Ellis.

The last of the rain will be gone by late evening. The upper level low that triggered storms is slowly moving away from us to the west. It'll be close enough over the next two days to still trigger some storm activity during the heat of the day. Below you'll see how the storm chances dominate the western half of north Texas over the next couple of days:

These storms chances are only in the 20% - 30% range and slip away to our west by Wednesday. This will bring up the temperatures into the upper 90's by the end of the work week and weekend.

Twice today rain got within less than a mile from DFW Airport, close enough to drop the temperatures this afternoon from the low 90's to the low 80's. But since only a trace of rain was recorded, this means only .07" of rain has been recorded so far at this July. This makes it the driest start to July since 2000.
