Temperatures to top out in low to mid-90s with round of storms possible across North Texas
A complex moving from Oklahoma to the southeast is expected to impact North Texas by late Sunday morning. The complex is forecasted to lose its strength over the next few hours.
The Storm Prediction Center has just issued a marginal risk, level 1 out of 5, for the threat of isolated severe thunderstorms. A level 2 out of 5 is in effect for West Texas. The main concern will include the potential of hail and damaging winds.
Highs on Sunday will be in the lower to mid-90s with winds from the southeast around 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday night, a few more storms will be likely. This could impact those going to the Loud for Love benefit concert. Thankfully, the concert will be in a covered facility, but the walk to and from the venue may be rainy. Doors open at 5 p.m., and at that time, temperatures will be around 92 degrees with a heat index value of 97. Temperatures will continue to drop into the lower 80s through the evening.
Overnight, another complex will move into North Texas from Oklahoma. Monday morning commute may be impacted due to heavy rain. The rain will dissipate by Monday afternoon.
The typical dry and hot August forecast is back this next week. A ridge of high pressure will build over the next several days, allowing temperatures to once again reach near the triple digits.
A decent amount of moisture is forecasted to linger, making the feels-like value to reach anywhere from 100 to 107 degrees Wednesday through Friday. Stay hydrated.

After deadly flood, Texas looks to improve its weather forecasts
KERRVILLE, TEXAS — Texas is looking at beefing up the state's extreme weather forecasting, after the National Weather Service struggled to predict the July 4 flooding that left at least 138 people dead. The unnamed storm that caused the floods — dumping 2 to 4 inches of water per hour in some areas — was inherently difficult for forecasting models to predict, experts in meteorology and hydrology told Texas lawmakers at a special hearing on flooding. But it could have been easier, they said, if the state itself collected better data from the atmosphere, ground and waterways. An initial investment of $20 million, they said at the hearing Thursday, would improve state tracking of dangerous weather. Advertisement The experts said improved tracking would complement the National Weather Service and could be a backstop if extreme weather elsewhere draws federal resources away from Texas.

How Do Storms Get Their Names? It's More Formal Than You Think
I don't know about you, but I'd feel pretty offended if a storm and I ever shared the same name; so I'm glad I'm not on the 2024/25 list. Some names ― like Agnes, Betsy, Dennis, and Gilbert ― are off the hook, as the National Hurricane Centre and Central Pacific Hurricane Centre say they're 'retired Atlantic' options. A name gets 'retired,' the site says, when a 'storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate for obvious reasons of sensitivity.' But how come they get their names in the first place? There's a pretty rigorous system According to a BBC Weather clip shared on X, 'each storm will be named alphabetically, but if you're a Mavis, Poppy, or Wren [three later names on the 2024/25 list], it's worth noting that we haven't got past the letter 'L' since we started doing this in 2015.' That means we haven't had more than 12 storms (the number the letter takes in the alphabet) that needed to be named since then. 'Like with naming hurricanes, the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used,' the BBC added. UK storms are named by a combination of the Met Office and Irish (Met Éireann) and Dutch (KNMI) weather services. 'Met Office contributions to the list include submissions from the public and names of significant people from our 170-year history,' the UK weather service said on their site. Only storms that are expected to have a medium or high impact get named. 'Wind is the primary consideration for naming a storm, but additional impacts from rain or snow will also be considered in the naming process,' the Met shared. The naming period starts in late August or early September and applies until the same time the next year. That's because storm risk starts to rise in late summer. Met Office Head of Situational Awareness Will Lang said, 'Naming storms helps to make communication of severe weather easier and provides clarity when people could be impacted by the weather.' What are the 2024/25 UK storm names? They are: Ashley Bert Conall Darragh Eowyn Floris Gerben Hugo Izzy James Kayleigh Lewis Mavis Naoise Otje Poppy Rafi Sayuri Tilly Vivienne Wren You'll notice Q, U, X, and Y are off the menu as stated by the BBC (I've never felt so jealous of a Quentin...)

Tropical Storm Dexter set to move on as NHC eyes 2 other systems
Tropical Storm Dexter formed on Sunday night, Aug. 3, becoming the fourth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center said in an advisory early Monday, Aug. 4, the storm was located about 255 miles northwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts. Dexter formed off the coast of North Carolina, however the NHC says the storm is moving toward the east-northeast away from the East Coast and that movement is expected through early Tuesday, followed by a slower motion Tuesday and Wednesday. The storm is forecast to move away from the U.S. coast and stay north of Bermuda. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect and no hazards to land are expected. "Some slight strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days," according to hurricane center forecasters, and Dexter is likely to become post-tropical by Wednesday. NHC also monitoring 2 other systems The hurricane center is also tracking two other systems in the Atlantic with low to medium chances of development. The first system is a tropical wave forecast to move off the west coast of Africa later Monday, with some gradual development possible. A tropical depression could form late this week while it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic, with NHC forecasters giving the system a 50% chance of formation through the next seven days. Additionally, a broad area of low pressure is forecast to form in a couple of days a few hundred miles off the coast of the southeastern United States. While some gradual development of this system is possible during the middle or latter part of the week, forecasters give the system a 30% chance of formation through the next seven days.

NHC keeping tabs on tropical depression in the Pacific Tropical Depression Eight-E has formed in the Pacific Ocean, well southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. In an advisory posted at 11 p.m. Hawaiian Standard Time on Aug. 3, the hurricane center said the storm was located about 835 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California with maximum sustained winds near 35 mph with higher gusts. The NHC said some strengthening is expected during the next couple of days, and the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm on Monday as the storm moves toward the west-northwest, forecasters said. Additionally, a trough of low pressure just offshore of the coast of Central America is currently producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form later this week while the system moves west-northwestward. The NHC gives this system a 60% chance of formation through the next seven days. How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Prepare now for hurricanes Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends.
