According to the bulletin, rain chance shift to generally along and west of the I-35 corridor by Wednesday. The severe threat both days is very low, but a few strong storms are possible in the afternoon and evening hours.

Each day, the strongest storms will bring the potential for gusty winds, small hail, and frequent lightning. Above normal temperatures will continue with heat index values near 100 degrees on Tuesday.

And that's not the end of the storm activity for the week. Scattered thunderstorms are expected daily during the afternoon and evening hours from Thursday-Sunday. The storms will become more isolated as they diminish in coverage and strength overnight.

The storm activity is expected to be non-severe, but a few storms with gust winds, small hail, and/or frequent lightning can't be ruled out. On the plus side, temperatures will be near to even slightly below average with highs in the upper 80s for most areas.

According to a U.S. Drought Monitor national summary for May 26, the recent heavy rainfall across the eastern half of Texas yielded drought improvements and also localized flooding.

Localized convection brought relief to some areas of North Texas over the observation period, but hot conditions resulted in degradation where precipitation didn't occur.
