Spotty showers and thunderstorms impact North Texas weather
- Showers and thunderstorms have moved south from Oklahoma into areas of North Texas, particularly west of I-35.
- Weather patterns will continue to feature spotty showers and mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 90s.
- Residents should expect a gradual improvement in weather with sunnier skies and warmer temperatures by the weekend.
In North Texas, a weak frontal boundary has been influencing weather patterns, leading to persistent cloud cover and scattered showers. On July 1, 2025, showers and non-severe storms migrated south from Oklahoma, creating wet conditions primarily in areas west of I-35, which have experienced deeper moisture. This weather pattern has led to rain chances of around 20%-30%, with temperatures expected to remain in the lower 90s during the afternoons. As a result of this weather situation, residents have experienced cooler temperatures and cloudier skies compared to typical summer conditions. Looking ahead to July 3, the forecast indicates that moisture will move up from the south, sustaining low-end rain chances even into the morning of July 4. As Friday approaches, the cloud cover will likely persist in the morning but will transition to more sunshine by the afternoon. High temperatures are expected to elevate slightly due to the influence of high pressure building over the weekend, with forecasts predicting warmer temperatures reaching the mid-90s by July 5 and 6. Today, on July 2, the forecast shows that North Texas will continue to see mostly cloudy conditions along with any ongoing showers. These conditions are expected to result in a similar pattern throughout the holiday, with partly sunny skies interspersed with rain. This pattern will help keep temperatures lower than average and has the potential to lead to isolated thunderstorm activity. However, no severe weather is expected as the storms that may develop will remain non-threatening. In summary, North Texas residents are experiencing a continuation of wet weather as we transition into July, which is typically characterized by warmer and drier conditions. The influence of the frontal boundary, coupled with moist air moving in from the south, indicates that the summer weather pattern may take a while to stabilize, leading to further showers and cooler temperatures in the immediate forecast.
