Low rain chances this weekend in North Texas, triple-digit heat returns next week
NORTH TEXAS – One of these things is not like the others…we ONLY topped out at 90 degrees on Friday! That’s what a little cloud cover and rain will do to North Texas in August.
We even picked up a little rain at the airport!
Of course, some spots in Grayson and Somervell counties saw a few inches of rain. Some August rain without severe weather – we’ll take it!
I do have low rain chances this weekend, but it shouldn’t amount to much. Still, it’ll keep temps below normal for Saturday. By Sunday, we’re back to near 100° and we may meet heat advisory criteria if the forecast verifies.
Rain chances will be slightly higher through the morning hours Saturday for our Red River counties.
The showers become more hit and miss in the afternoon, but you’ll have a little more luck seeing some rain the farther south/west you are.
Once we get to Sunday morning, it’ll be low rain chances for our Red River counties in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, heat and humidity.
The brief reprieve from the triple digits is short-lived. Feels-like temps will likely be in the heat advisory range by Sunday, and we’ll definitely be dealing with some advisories next week as high pressure builds back in.
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.”
