Upper Level Disturbance Triggers Storms Again Today
That same, slow-moving upper level disturbance is still making weather headlines for us today as its center is located a little to our west near Abilene. This energy touched off heat-of-the-day storms over the weekend with some of the storms producing locally heavy rainfall over an inch and wind gusts strong enough to do minor tree damage here and there across the North Texas landscape.
With the system now drifting farther west, our best rain chances will be over the western half of North Texas today. Just like over the weekend, today's storms will bubble with the heat and will be capable of producing strong wind gusts, heavy rainfall and lightning.
