Talk About Nice...

This is what we have been waiting for. Finally, a real break from the heat. With evening temps in the low 80's and dewpoints in the mid to upper 50's, what a breath of fresh air!

Although the weather pattern is changing, don't think the weather is going to be a bed of roses. Rain chances will be going up during the next several days.

Speaking of rain chances, check out the HPC's forecast for parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas:
This is for Days 1-2
I hope they get some relief...

Dallas has now reached 100 degrees for 40 consecutive days. The record is 42. There is a slight chance that the record streak of 42 consecutive days at or above 100 may stay intact. We will have to wait and see. The forecast for Friday, which would tie the record, has the high temperature at 100 even.

Do you want the record or the rain? I think it would be just lousy if they got neither.
