Hot and humid Father's Day weekend with chances of storms in Dallas, Fort Worth
Saturday will be a great day to go to the pool. However, cloud cover will be increasing and there is a chance for an isolated shower or storm during the day.
Father's Day will also be hot and humid. If plans include taking dad to the golf course, try to get an early tee time. Temperatures will climb into the lower 90s in the afternoon, but the feels-like temperature will be in the triple digits once again.
There is a chance for storms on Father's Day. The activity will likely start in the morning northwest of the Metroplex and move southeast throughout the day. As of the latest forecast, the Metroplex could see some showers and storms around lunchtime. Isolated strong to severe storms will be possible, with the primary risk of wind speeds 50 to 60 mph.
A high pressure system will settle over North Texas next week, keeping precipitation chances minimal and slightly warmer than average temperatures in the mid-90s.

Summer in Canada steams ahead in August, with a few hints of fall
Welcome to August! This remains a toasty, humid, and sometimes stormy time of year for many communities across Canada. What's in store for your weather during the month ahead? Forecasters see summer rolling along as we head through August—but with some areas experiencing a few hints of fall, as well. Visit our for an in-depth look at the Summer Forecast, tips to plan for it and much more! August starts with a divided pattern across Canada We'll kick off the month with a divided pattern draped across the country. A brief period of cooler weather is settling into place across much of Eastern Canada to start August. Meanwhile, warmer-than-normal temperatures will dominate areas from British Columbia all the way through northwestern Ontario. DON'T MISS: Early August will also see a decent amount of rainfall pushing into portions of British Columbia and Alberta. Some sporadic rain could even fall across parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba where wildfires are currently contributing to poor air quality for large portions of the country. The eastern cooldown won't last long. We'll see above-seasonal temperatures quickly return to Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada as we enter the second week of the month. Variable conditions, warmth return for the second half of August Looking ahead to the second half of the month, warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate from Ontario to Atlantic Canada, as well as across most of B.C. However, we'll still see a few doses of cooler air interrupt the warmth. MUST SEE: Folks on the Prairies can expect more changeable conditions through the middle and end of August. Periods of hot weather will be interspersed with a risk for longer stretches of cooler conditions—a back-and-forth that may result in overall temperatures that average out closer to seasonal for the remainder of the month. Average temperatures will slowly begin to decline through August. Occasional doses of cooler air, episodes of dew and fog in the morning, and shrinking daylight hours will all combine to provide hints of fall as we progress through the month. Watching the tropics for potential hazards August marks a distinct uptick in tropical activity across the Atlantic basin. Forecasters largely expect an above-average season this year—and there are signs that the Atlantic will come to life close to schedule as a favourable pattern develops during the middle and latter portions of August. Anyone in Atlantic Canada should prepare for hurricane season well before any storms have a chance to threaten the region. Make sure you're prepared for potential flooding, evacuations, wind damage, and power outages. The remnants of tropical systems hitting the U.S. can even track into Ontario and Quebec, bringing a risk for flooding, high winds, and tornadoes across the region.

This summer has been unrelentingly hot. Humidity is making it feel worse.
Hot, sticky and unrelenting: That has been the experience for much of the country this summer, including more than a dozen states that had record high humidity in July. Last month was muggier than usual for the majority of the Lower 48. Parts of the Midwest, East Coast and mid-Atlantic regions, in particular, were intensely humid in July, according to preliminary data compiled by researchers at Oregon State University. Hot and humid conditions are to be expected in the summer, but heat index values — what conditions 'feel like' when humidity and air temperatures are combined — soared well into the triple digits for extended periods of time in places such as Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida last month. Cities such as Pittsburgh; Roanoke, Virginia; and Washington, D.C., all registered their most humid July in recorded history, according to figures compiled by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, which collects and tracks data on precipitation, soil temperature and other environmental conditions. New York City and Raleigh, North Carolina, had their second-most-humid July, while humidity in Detroit and Cincinnati reached their third-highest levels last month. In Paducah, Kentucky, a brutal stretch of high heat and humidity from July 16 to 30 set a slew of new records for the city. 'We have reached the end to the longest stretch of continuously high humidity that Paducah has witnessed in the past 75 years,' the local branch of the National Weather Service said Thursday in a post on X, adding that the number of hours at 'oppressive levels' of humidity exceeded 300% of the city's normal amount for the month of July. Humid days are expected to be more common as a result of climate change, because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. But beyond the discomfort of a sticky summer, soaring humidity levels pose serious threats to health and public safety. High heat index values increase the risk of heat-related illness and death, particularly among children, older adults and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. A 2022 study by the nonprofit organization Climate Central found that the combination of high heat and humidity can affect the body's ability to cool itself down through sweating. 'In many parts of the country and the globe, dangerous heat often occurs along with high humidity — and the pair of conditions multiplies the health risks,' the researchers wrote in their analysis. A warmer atmosphere can also spawn stronger storms that are capable of dumping huge amounts of rain over land, often causing dangerous flash flooding. So far this year, more than 3,000 flash flood warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service — the highest number on record, according to data from Iowa State University. Catastrophic flooding last month killed at least 120 people in central Texas' Hill Country region, while several rounds of storms inundated parts of New Mexico multiple times in the span of a few weeks in July. On Thursday, right at the end of the month, intense storms pummeled New York City and the surrounding tristate area, wreaking havoc during people's evening commute.

Why Is California So Chilly This Summer?
San Francisco is seeing the coldest start to a summer in over two decades, and nobody has felt the chill more than the people tasked with painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Fred Mixon, the paint superintendent for the bridge, said his team has used heaters on most days this summer to warm up the steel before applying the International Orange paint that defines the bridge's iconic vermilion hue. When the steel is cold, the paint doesn't adhere as well and can flake off after it dries. 'This is the first time in a long time that we've used the heaters in summer,' he said. 'We are using them most days this summer, whereas in prior summers we might use them for a day or two all season.' San Francisco, where 70 can be considered a hot summer day, is known for its cool summers, but this year, June and July were even chillier than normal. The average afternoon high downtown was 63.7 degrees, 2.7 degrees below normal, making it the coldest since 1999. Because of the city's proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the blanket of fog that often hugs the California coast, temperatures tend to stay cool there, even as inland areas roast in the hot sun and triple-digit heat. This summer, that nip in the air has been felt up and down the coastline of Northern and Central California and into the Sacramento Valley. Just an hour south of the city, San Jose saw its 10th coolest start to summer, with records going back more than 100 years. The average high was 76.9, compared to the normal 81.2.
