Chances of rain and thunderstorms are expected to return to Dallas-Fort Worth on Wednesday due to an influx of tropical moisture, weather officials say.
Officials at the National Weather Service in Fort Worth predict a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday after 1 p.m., dropping to a 20% chance during the night. The rainy weather could affect Juneteenth celebrations, as a number of events are outdoors.
Officials say severe weather is not likely, but heavy rain may occur in local areas. The best rain and storm chances are across Central Texas, with the rain expected to exit to the west Thursday.
High temperatures are expected to reach 91 degrees Tuesday and 87 on Wednesday, according to the NWS.
The drop in temperatures on Wednesday is due to increasing clouds and spotty storms, KXAS-TV (NBC-5) meteorologist Grant Johnston said. Dry and hotter weather is expected to return Friday through the weekend, he said.
