Small reprieve from the heat in North Texas Sunday before triple digit temperatures hit
NORTH TEXAS — Storms moved over the heart of the Metroplex this early morning. No, they were not predicted. A weak frontal boundary stayed to the north heading into the overnight, unleashing a small cluster of storms that were gone by mid-morning.
The DFW airport recorded .31″ of rainfall. Much heavier amounts fell across Keller, North Richland Hills and the Hurst area as well as western Parker County. Thunderstorm Warnings and Flood Advisory alerts were waking the area up to an early start to the weekend.
Skies cleared and dry air moved in. This helped North Texas warm up quickly from the low 70s to almost 100 degrees.
Expect another day like this one tomorrow. Highs should stay just under 100°. Higher humidity tomorrow, but there will be modest east winds to hold temperatures in check. Hotter days start the work week.
And it is forecasted to get even hotter. High pressure will sit almost right overhead of the area by mid-week.
Highs should reach around 104 degrees by Wednesday, the hottest day so far this summer. The CBS News Texas Weather Team is expecting a heat advisory for Wednesday/Thursday.
This afternoon Tropical Storm Debby formed just off the northern coast of Cuba, heading toward the west coast of Florida. The entire west coast of Florida is under either a Tropical Storm or Hurricane warning.
The latest forecast is for Debby to become a category one hurricane just before making landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida Monday afternoon.
Storm surge could reach nearly 7ft on the east side of the eyewall. Tremendous rains are expected over Florida. The current forecast is for Debby to slowly crawl over southern Georgia and South Carolina next week, taking several days to move north. Rainfall amounts could get over 20″ along the coastline of both states. The bright yellow color is everything over 7″.
The First Alert Weather team will continue to provide updates on this developing story. Debbie will cross over extremely warm waters as it moves parallel to the Florida coast tomorrow. It could intensify rapidly.

Texas man accused of killing pregnant wife allegedly cuts off ankle monitor and flees to Italy
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Texas man facing charges for allegedly killing his pregnant wife has reportedly cut off his ankle monitor and fled abroad.
Lee Mongerson Gilley, 39, is accused of murdering his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and the couple’s unborn child in Houston in 2024, according to KPRC.
Gilley was set to appear in court Tuesday, but instead flew from Texas to Canada, and finally Italy, where he told authorities he was seeking asylum after being “wrongfully prosecuted” and is fearful of receiving the death penalty, his attorney told the outlet.
“I’m concerned that the prosecution will try to say that it’s evidence of consciousness of guilt that he’s running from it, but I think he’s just scared,” defense attorney Dick DeGuerin reportedly said.

Gilley, whose murder trial was set to begin later this month, is reportedly in the custody of Italian authorities. His ankle monitor alerted authorities it had been tampered with on Friday, according to the outlet.
DeGuerin told the outlet that before Gilley can be returned to Texas, the state must certify to Italy that he is not eligible for the death penalty — which the prosecution is not seeking in his case.

Prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley initially claimed Christa, who was nine months pregnant, had overdosed and that he had tried to save her with CPR, but a medical examiner later pointed to evidence of strangulation and ruled her death a homicide.

After he was arrested days later, Gilley allegedly admitted his wife was not a drug user or suicidal, and that the couple had been arguing before her death, KPRC reported.
In 2025, while out on bond, prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley and an unnamed woman, whom he had an affair with in 2023, devised a scheme to flee to Mexico and other countries, according to the outlet.

“The Defendant also inquired as to whether she knew of a Mexican identity he could acquire to facilitate his departure from the country,” the document said.
Gilley also allegedly “provided a detailed plan” to remove his GPS monitor and perform a sham marriage to obtain a new identity, prosecutors reportedly said.

Authorities are working to extradite Gilley back to the country, according to KPRC.
Gilley’s defense attorney and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) announced on Monday that Texas baseball pitcher Dylan Volantis will share this week’s Pitcher of the Week award with LSU’s Zac Cowan. From Texas Athletics’ announcement:
“Against No. 10 Mississippi State, Volantis registered a co-career-best 12 strikeouts and scattered three singles across six scoreless innings. After the Bulldogs notched a two-out infield hit in the first, the 6-foot-6, 220-pound left-hander retired 10 of the next 11 batters he faced. Volantis capped off that stretch by punching out the side on only 10 pitches in the fourth. Overall, the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native threw 107 pitches, which marked the most by a Longhorn this year. In Texas’ 3-1 victory, the Longhorns totaled 19 strikeouts, tying their most in a nine-inning game in program history.“
