Early June weather brings unstable atmosphere to North Texas
Monday, June 2, marks the official start of meteorological summer in North Texas, and with it comes a shift toward a more volatile weather pattern. After Sunday’s destructive hailstorm in Everman, which produced hail the size of baseballs, residents are bracing for a week that could bring repeated rounds of rain, severe thunderstorms, and a risk of flooding.
Monday forecast: Scattered rain, rising humidity
This morning, showers and thunderstorms are moving south from Oklahoma, carried by an upper-level disturbance. While not all areas in the Dallas–Fort Worth region will experience rain, scattered showers are likely north and east of DFW through noon. These early storms may bring small hail and gusty winds, but are not expected to reach severe levels.
By afternoon, as the disturbance shifts south of Interstate 20, skies will partially clear, allowing temperatures to climb into the 80s°F (around 27–30°C). Rising humidity will add to the discomfort, creating conditions that could trigger isolated strong storms, especially south of the Metroplex. These storms may produce hail and wind gusts over 50 mph. Monday night should return to typical early June weather, though it will remain warm and humid.
Local impact: Everman residents recover from intense hailstorm
Sunday brought shocking scenes to Tarrant County, where some Everman residents reported intense hailfall.
“It was scary, it was very loud. And I’m like, what is going on,” said Keitha Titus, a local resident. “Thank the Lord, that’s all that happened. It could have been worse.”
The hailstorm caused damage to cars and homes, underscoring the increasing volatility of early summer weather patterns in Texas.
Tuesday outlook: Warmth builds, storms return
Expect low clouds and mild morning temperatures Tuesday, followed by a warm and muggy afternoon with highs reaching the low 90s°F (around 32–34°C) under partly sunny skies. While isolated showers are possible in the morning, the bigger threat arrives late Tuesday afternoon into the evening.
Multiple upper-air disturbances will begin to move across North Texas, igniting widespread thunderstorms. These storms will carry an elevated risk of severe weather, including damaging winds and localized flooding, though the tornado threat remains low at this stage.
Looking ahead: Storms linger through the weekend
The 7-day forecast suggests a continuation of this unsettled pattern. While Wednesday may bring a temporary break in the action, new storms are likely late Wednesday into Thursday morning. These systems may again feature severe storms and heavy rainfall, keeping the flood threat high.
Rain chances and storm activity are expected to linger through Friday and the weekend, maintaining a stormy and wet outlook for much of North Texas.
Stay aware and monitor local alerts, as the region enters a dynamic and storm-prone period.
