Amid the hottest stretch of weather of the 2025 so far, morning commutes in parts of North Texas were slowed by heavy rain. The rain started to the northwest of the Metroplex and moved south and east, from Wise County into Denton, Tarrant and Dallas Counties. Some highways slowed to a crawl.

Temperatures in the high-90s with heat index values up to 105 are expected Sunday, with storm chances increasing later in the week.

We’ll be flirting with the century mark the next couple of days, but I think we will underachieve by a couple of degrees. However, there’s more to consider, as shower and thunderstorm activity will be increasing by the middle of the week.
