Today, low storm chances are in place for Southeast and Central Texas. Isolated storms could produce frequent lightning, as well as providing some much-needed rainfall to our region. Highs will peak around the century mark, with heat indices up to 105. While humidity will be higher, a fire threat will remain elevated for areas to the north and west of DFW.
Localized heavy rainfall will occur with the remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard as it moves inland, and this could result in isolated flash flooding in parts of Central and East Texas. Much of North and Northwest Texas will see little/no rainfall with this system. The highest rain chances will be from Wednesday into Thursday morning.
A Flood Watch is in effect for eastern portions of Central Texas into Southeast Texas on Wednesday. Localized heavy rain with the remnants of TS Edouard could result in instances of flash flooding. Isolated rain totals up to 6 inches are possible in the Watch area.
Hot and mostly dry weather is forecast during the upcoming weekend, with only isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible in parts of Central and East Texas. Expect high temperatures in the upper 90s to around 100, with heat index values approaching or exceeding 105.
