    Hot and humid weather will be sticking around through at least the start of July. The normal high for this time of year is 92 degrees. Long-range forecasts put out by the Climate Prediction Center keep above normal temperatures in the forecast through July 2nd. Nationwide, our heat will spread east early next week. The Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic states, and New England states will see increasing heat through next Thursday as a ridge of high pressure briefly builds across the region.

    Most of the state of Texas is not experiencing drought conditions. The North Texas area isn't under a drought and has seen more rain than normal so far this year. DFW Airport currently has a surplus of 1.81 inches of rain. Our rainy pattern seems to be coming to an end, at least for now. The forecast this week only calls for a slight chance of storms on Wednesday night. The latest drought map has the least amount of the state impacted by drought since September 2024.

    A plume of Saharan dust is traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and will arrive in the Gulf of Mexico by Thursday. Parts of the Texas Gulf Coast and the Southeast will see a hazy sky as a result. Areas in the path of the dust will experience vibrant colors in the sky during sunrise and sunset. Florida is expecting rain during this time, so the dust could make the rain "dirty". The dust will not be as prevalent or as noticeable in North Texas. Here are forecast models showing the arrival of the dust.
