Texas
Hot, sunny weekend, return of rain next week in North Texas
NORTH TEXAS – Check off another 90°+ day in the books as our high temperature reached 95° on Friday.
Thanks to an area of high pressure sitting over Texas, we are cloud-free and will have a lot of sunshine this weekend. Grab the sunscreen and hats because the UV index is in the very high category for your weekend. However, this is the first dry weekend we’ve had in a few weeks so take advantage and soak up some sunshine.
You will notice though that the dewpoint is a bit higher this weekend so yes that good ole humidity is back and so are feels like temps near 100°.
The rain doesn’t stay away for long as a cold front approaches North Texas late Sunday and then stalls over North Texas on Monday. The rain coverage increases to 50% Monday and Tuesday and a few storms can’t be ruled out. I don’t think we will see widespread heavy rain so I am not as concerned for flash flooding. Over a three-day period parts of North Texas could see near 0.10″ up to 1.00″.
The rain comes to an end on Wednesday as the frontal boundary lifts out of North Texas and we see a return to drier air and sunshine. The First Alert forecast shows the cooler air along with the cold front Monday doesn’t last long either as the sunshine returns in full force toward the end of the week.
FULSHEAR, Texas – A Texas homeowner heading out for an early morning walk got quite a surprise when he mistook a large reptile parked on his front porch for an online delivery.
Officers with the Fulshear Police Department were called to a local residence last week after the homeowner accidentally struck an alligator with his screen door, initially believing it was a package from Amazon.
What they’re saying:
“With all the heavy rain we’ve been getting lately, it seems the gators are on the move,” the police department said in a statement. “This little fella decided to skip the swamp and upgrade to porch life this morning.”
Footage released by the department captures the alligator resting on the concrete porch while the homeowner explains the startling encounter to responding officers, noting he didn’t realize what it was until he banged into it with the door.
Police officers successfully wrangled the alligator and relocated it safely to a nearby pond.
Recent heavy rainfall across the region has displaced local wildlife, prompting authorities to urge residents to remain cautious as animals seek out dry territory.
“If you see an unexpected visitor like this around your home, give it plenty of space and let us handle it,” the department reminded the community. “Apparently, even the gators are looking for higher ground these days!”
The department also added a bit of local humor to the unusual morning call: “And yes, before anyone asks, this little gator is not paying property taxes.”
