Cooler temperatures arrive in North Texas after streak of triple-digit days
Thankfully, Friday will be cooler. High temperatures will likely reach the mid-90s across North Texas, but since there is a sufficient amount of moisture in the atmosphere, the heat index will make it feel more like 105 degrees.
The drop in temperature and uptick in rain chances are due to a stalling front.
Rain will be likely today with the bulk of the activity flaring up in the afternoon. No severe weather is expected, but intense rainfall could lead to flash flooding.
Cities to the north of I-20 and east of I-35 have the highest risk of flooding. In fact, the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a slight risk, level 2 out of 4, meaning that isolated to scattered flooding instances are possible.
Storm chances continue through the weekend and start Monday. By Tuesday, a ridge of high pressure will develop, drying out the skies and warming temperatures back up for the rest of the week.

Fantastic weather Monday in Philadelphia area, tracking warmer temps and late-week storms
We're starting the week with fantastic weather here in the Philadelphia area. Monday brings sunshine, low humidity and highs in the upper 80s, with a few spots near 90. Overnight, expect clear skies, calm winds and lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. A touch of haze from Canadian wildfire smoke is possible, which could filter the sun and slightly limit afternoon warmth. We'll have a better chance at more effects of the smoke Tuesday and into the first part of Wednesday. Tuesday stays warm and dry, with highs near 90 and a bit more humidity under partly cloudy skies. Clouds will build Tuesday night as moisture moves in on an onshore flow. By Wednesday, high pressure to our north keeps us mainly dry, but clouds increase from a system to our south. A few stray showers are possible Thursday through Saturday, mainly south and east of the city. Temperatures will dip into the upper 70s and low 80s Thursday before rebounding into the upper 80s next weekend. Late in the week, we're watching the potential for a low-pressure system to develop offshore and move north. Its track remains uncertain, so for now we're keeping only slight rain chances in the forecast. Be aware: There is a moderate rip current risk down at the Jersey Shore and a high rip current risk at the Delaware beaches.

Forecasters are watching three Atlantic systems. A tropical storm may form soon
The National Hurricane Center is now tracking three systems in the Atlantic Ocean: one possibly headed for the Caribbean and United States, another heading away from the U.S. East Coast and the last is sitting off the U.S. Southeast Coast. Disturbance No. 1 by North Carolina The Sunday 2 p.m. National Hurricane Center update says this 'non-tropical area of low pressure' a few hundred miles off North Carolina's coast is dropping showers and thunderstorms. 'Environmental conditions are conducive for this system to acquire additional tropical characteristics, and a tropical storm is likely to form by Monday well east of the North Carolina coast,' the hurricane center said. The formation chance by Tuesday afternoon and over the next seven days is put at 70%, a large increase from 50% earlier in the day. The next name on the list is Dexter. Disturbance No. 2 in the Atlantic Ocean 'A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa by late Monday,' the hurricane center said Sunday afternoon. 'Thereafter, some gradual development of the wave is possible, and a tropical depression could form late this week while it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.' There is a near-zero percent chance of formation in the next two days, but up to 40% for the next seven days. Disturbance No. 3 off the Southeast U.S. 'An area of low pressure could form in a couple of days, a few hundred miles southeast of the Carolinas,' forecasters said. 'Some gradual development of this system is possible by midweek as the system drifts to the northwest.' It has a near-zero chance of forming in the next two days and a 20% chance in the next seven.

Mudslide shuts down part of Highway 40 in Kananaskis
Part of Highway 40 in Kananaskis Country closed Sunday due to a mud slide. According to a 511 Alberta advisory issued around 8:30 a.m. MT Sunday, a washout on the highway closed it to all traffic between the Mount Lipsett and Mist Creek day-use areas. That section of Highway 40 is roughly 130 kilometres southeast of Banff, Alta. RCMP said on Sunday they expect the road to be closed for two days. Sunday morning's advisory was an update to a previous advisory issued around 10 p.m. Saturday. At that time, 511 Alberta said the highway between Elbow Lake and Junction south of Kananaskis Village was closed due to the mudslide. A mudslide was also reported on Highway 1, west of Banff. 511 Alberta said the weather event brought debris onto the highway, causing delays east of Redearth Creek. Environment Canada says more rain, with the risk of a thunderstorm, is in Sunday's forecast for Kananaskis Village.
