Hurricane Francine shoves tropical moisture at North Texas creating rain chances, humidity

Hurricane Francine will push tropical moisture toward Dallas-Fort Worth as the storm is expected to make landfall Wednesday in Louisiana.
With that moisture comes noticeably higher humidity, more cloud coverage and increased chances for showers and thunderstorms throughout North Texas, according to forecasts.
Isolated and scattered tropical storms will develop over portions of the region, primarily along and east of Interstate 35, later in the day before precipitation coverage decreases by the evening, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
After a lingering cooldown earlier this week, above-normal temperatures are expected to return and stick around through the weekend into next week as the chances of rain diminish after Thursday. Highs in Dallas-Fort Worth could creep up as high as 99 with lows in the mid-70s, according to the weather service.
