Again: Hot and Afternoon Storms

The weather you are getting this afternoon will be pretty much the same for your holiday tomorrow. Today highs reached into the low 100's with afternoon storms dotting the landscape. Coverage isn't all that great, around 10%, but those getting the storms are getting some heavy rain since these cells are so slow moving. For the most part the storms have stayed below severe threshold though a few warnings have been issued. One currently is in effect for Bosque, Hill and Johnson Co at a small but powerful storm over Cleburne State Park continues to drift west.

TONIGHT: Evening storms dying off soon after sundown (8:40p) as temperatures drop down to the upper 70's by tomorrow morning. Skies should start mostly clear for the holiday day.

FOURTH OF JULY: Mostly sunny in the morning with afternoon clouds. Storms quickly starting up in the early afternoon and moving slowly, making for isolated areas with heavy rains and strong winds. The coverage should get close to around 20%. Highs will again reach toward 100° with a wind out of the southeast by afternoon.

TUESDAY-FRIDAY: Around 100° for highs each day with a 10% storm chance.

These storm chances don't amount to much per the HPC QPF (the five day estimated rainfall across the lower 48 states). You can see the effects of the high pressure system that continues to bring us 100° weather: most of Texas will stay dry while storms will continue to follow the northern edge of the high pressure dome across the midwest and into the Tennessee Valley.
