NBC 5 Forecast: Hot and Humid With a Chance of Rain Today

Today's weather will offer a change of pace in the form of thunderstorm chances. The prime opportunity will be during the midday and afternoon hours. A couple could hang on into the evening as well. The better chance will be just north of DFW as a weakening cold front from Oklahoma moves in late in the day. Overall, it will be quite warm and humid with rain chances ranging from 30-50% across North Texas.An upper-level high pressure comes back toward North Texas for the rest of the week. We will see the temperature climb to the upper 90s. That means July will end on a hot note (getting very close to the triple-digit mark) and August will begin with the same level of heat.By late in the week, the center of the ridge of high pressure will move back west and northwest of us. That will open the door for a weak cold front to slide into the area next weekend. It won't have the same cooling effects the previous front had, but may give us a couple more storms on Sunday.Latest Forecast TODAY: Partly cloudy, hot, and humid with a 30 percent chance for a few showers and storms.
