Chance of showers, storms return to North Texas as temperatures remain in the mid to high 90s
Another dry, mostly sunny, and hot day is on tap.
Wednesday morning will start cloudy, but the clouds will dissipate throughout the day. In DFW, winds will gust around 25 mph, and highs will peak around 93 degrees at 5 pm.
In addition, dew point temperatures are in the 70s, which will make it feel more like the triple digits outside.
During the day, the likelihood of showers and storms is low. However, a cold front will move into North Texas Wednesday night, bringing the risk of severe weather and brief downpours.
The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a level 2 out of 5 risk for the metroplex and to the north. This means that isolated to scattered severe storms with damaging winds and hail will be possible overnight.
On Juneteenth, there is a potential of a few spotty showers and storms during the day due to the diurnal heat cycle; however, most of us will stay dry. Highs on Juneteenth will reach the mid-90s with winds from the south around 10 to 15 mph.
The longest day of the year and the official start of the Summer Solstice will be hot and sunny. The trend will continue through the weekend and into next week.
Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates!

When is the first day of summer 2025? What to know about the summer solstice in NY
While consistent rainfall has dampened New York in recent weeks and months, the official start of the summer season is thankfully ushering in some more seasonal weather. Temperatures are expected to rise into the 90s throughout the state after the summer solstice on June 20, according to National Weather Service forecasts. Here's what to know about this year's summer solstice. The Summer 100: Summer means farmers markets, street fairs. Westchester, Rockland folks like these spots The astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, also known as the longest day of the year, is Friday, June 20, 2025, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Meteorological summer begins on June 1 and runs through the end of August, while astronomical summer is June 20 through Sept. 22. During the summer solstice, the sun is traveling along its northernmost path in the sky and the Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun, the Almanac says. This results in the Northern Hemisphere receiving the longest period of sunlight hours and the most direct angle of sunlight all year. It will begin at 10:42 p.m. EDT, according to the Almanac.

Chicago weather: Tornado Watch and Flood Watch for parts of Chicago area as severe thunderstorms approach
Severe weather bringing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, flooding and stronger tornadoes is barreling toward Chicago Wednesday afternoon. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for Jasper, Lake, Newton and Benton counties in Indiana until 3 p.m. Rain, lightning and rumbling thunder reached the Loop by 1:40 p.m. A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Kankakee County until 3:45 p.m. Already the county has seen two inches of rain fall in the last hour. A Tornado Watch is in effect for Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, Livingston, Kankakee and Will counties in Illinois and Benton, Jasper, Lake, Newton and Porter counties in Indiana until 7 p.m. CDT (8 p.m. EDT). CBS News Chicago Meteorologist Albert Ramon said it is possible the watch could be extended further north into Cook County as well. The Chicago area could start getting tornado warnings as early as 2:30 p.m. The largest risk of tornadoes stretches from Ottawa to Chicago's Loop, but particularly the South Side of the city, and into Northwest Indiana. The strongest storms are expected to the south and southeast. The National Weather Service has also issued a Flood Watch for Cook, DuPage, Will, Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, La Salle and Livingston counties until 8 p.m. Chicago is squarely in the center of the greatest flooding risk Wednesday, with 1 to 3 inches of rain expected to fall in less than six hours. In some areas, 4 inches of rainfall in that time is possible. Humid conditions will add to the intensity of the storms this afternoon and evening throughout the area. The strong storms will taper off and be out of our area between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., but lingering showers will continue through the night and into Thursday. That continued rain could exacerbate flooding. Following the storms is a building heat wave, with humidity levels that will push the heat index above 100 throughout the Chicago area. Record-tying high temperatures are expected Sunday.

Extreme heat poised to blanket much of the U.S. this week
LAS VEGAS — A punishing heat wave in the Southwest is set to spread east in the coming days, with temperatures more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit expected in the Northeast and possible record highs in parts of New England later this week. Around 15 million people are under extreme heat warnings or advisories across eastern California, Nevada, Arizona and western Texas. High temperatures well into the triple digits are expected to be widespread across the region Wednesday. Temperatures this week in southern Nevada are up to 12 F above seasonal averages, according to the National Weather Service. In neighboring Arizona, high temperatures up to 115 F are forecast across the south-central portions of the state. As the week goes on, heat will expand into the Midwest and the Great Lakes area before engulfing the Northeast this weekend in what will be the region's first prolonged heat wave. The weather service said daily record-high temperatures are possible across portions of the Great Basin and western South Dakota on Thursday, and from Colorado north and east into Nebraska and South Dakota on Friday. Studies have shown that climate change is making heat waves more frequent, more intense and lasting longer. High heat and humidity will hit the East Coast this weekend and linger into next week. Heat index values (or what conditions 'feel like' when humidity and air temperatures are combined) in the mid-90s or higher are possible in New York City, Boston and Washington, D.C. 'For early next week, we are looking at our first stretch of prolonged hot, humid weather beginning Sunday and lasting through at least the middle of next week,' the New York branch of the weather service said in a post on X. Meanwhile, extreme heat is expected to persist through the remainder of this week across the desert regions of the Southwest, including in Death Valley, where temperatures may climb above 120 F, according to the weather service.
