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.

Potential Tropical Storm Erin Update as Chances at Forming Rise
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has increased the chances that a disturbance off the Southeast U.S. coast will form within the next seven days. Should it strengthen into a tropical storm, it will become the fifth named storm of the season and will be called Erin. Why It Matters The NHC is currently tracking three systems in the Atlantic Ocean. They are Tropical Storm Dexter, which is currently moving further out to sea, and two disturbances, one off the western coast of Africa and one brewing much closer to the U.S. Each of these disturbances has a moderate chance at strengthening into a tropical storm in the coming days. Hurricanes and tropical storms can lead to evacuation warnings and cause major damage when they hit the U.S. Tracking and predicting the movement of these storms can help with preparedness and public safety. The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1 and runs through November 30. What To Know Since Monday, chances that the disturbance nearest the U.S. will strengthen into a tropical storm have increased. The storm had zero percent chance of strengthening within 48 hours and a 30 percent chance of doing so within the next seven days on Monday. On Tuesday, those chances for it to form within the next 48 hours have risen to 10 percent, and the chances it will do so within the next seven days have risen to 40 percent. A map from the National Hurricane Center shows meteorologists monitoring three disturbances, including one tropical storm, in the Atlantic Ocean. A map from the National Hurricane Center shows meteorologists monitoring three disturbances, including one tropical storm, in the Atlantic Ocean. National Hurricane Center Meanwhile, the disturbance off the coast of Africa has a slightly higher chance at forming in the next seven days at 50 percent, but chances remain at near zero for the next 48 hours. Either one of these disturbances could become Erin. Should they both strengthen into a tropical storm, one will be named Fernand. Neither of the new systems is causing weather hazards on land, although the North Carolina coastline did see dangerous wave and current activity yesterday from Tropical Storm Dexter, National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Olivia Cahill told Newsweek. It remains to be seen what, if any, impacts will be caused by the new disturbances. Weather experts have issued repeated warnings this summer that peak Atlantic hurricane season doesn't typically hit until September, urging people to take precautionary action, such as stocking up on emergency supplies and ensuring they have proper insurance in place, before a storm forms. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting from 13 to 19 named storms for this year's Atlantic hurricane season, with six to 10 strengthening into hurricanes and three to five into major hurricanes. What People Are Saying NHC in an updated outlook about the system closest to the U.S.: "A weak surface trough currently located several hundred miles off the coast of the southeastern United States is expected to form an area of low pressure in a day or so. Thereafter, environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the latter portion of this week or weekend as the low initially moves slowly westward, but turns more northward by this weekend." NHC in an updated outlook about the system near Africa: "A tropical wave over the far eastern tropical Atlantic is currently producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity, primarily to the southwest of the wave axis. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development during the next few days, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend as the system moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical or subtropical Atlantic." What Happens Next NHC meteorologists will continue to monitor the system as it progresses. As of the most recent forecast, there were no warnings or watches in place for the Southeast coast.

Weather Service is now hiring back hundreds of positions that got cut in the DOGE chaos
The National Weather Service has received permission to hire 450 meteorologists, hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by Department of Government Efficiency-related cuts and early retirement incentives. The new hiring number includes 126 new positions that were previously approved and will apply to 'front-line mission critical' personnel, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official told CNN. The NWS cuts have spurred concerns over how well-prepared the country is to withstand hurricane season, which is just starting to heat up in the Atlantic. The staff reductions also have been scrutinized in the wake of the deadly Texas floods in July, with vacancies at weather service forecast offices there. The cuts to probationary employees, as well as early retirement incentives, meant the nation's front-line weather forecasting agency's staffing levels fell by more than 550 people since the second Trump administration began, to below 4,000 total employees. CNN has reached out to NOAA for comment. Agency employees are greeting the news, unveiled at an all hands meeting on Monday, with guarded optimism and relief. Current employees have been working additional hours with additional responsibilities since the layoffs and retirements earlier this year, trying to maintain the 24/7 posture US extreme weather requires. The agency has also been functioning with less data from fewer, less frequent weather balloon launches. The announcement was also met with frustration over the people the agency lost in the failed attempt at government savings. 'How much time/money is it going to cost to train a bunch of new people when we had already-trained people in place?' asked another NOAA official, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. It is possible that some of the new hires will have been previously trained employees who were let go in the DOGE cuts. The first NOAA official said there is going to be a focus on hiring in a smart, 'asymmetric' way that is 'based on workload.' The NWS, aided by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, had been arguing for months for a public safety exemption from the federal hiring freeze. That exemption has been granted, and the agency now has direct hiring authority under the Office of Personnel Management, the official told CNN. Direct hiring authority, according to OPM's website, can be given to federal agencies 'for filling vacancies when a critical hiring need or severe shortage of candidates exists.' It can help speed up the hiring process, the NOAA official said.
