Weather forcast: HOT and DRY. Click on the link to the left to see a real forcast for our area. Actually we have a wide range of weather, but from May through October the forcast of HOT and DRY is pretty accurate. Of course there is always a risk of severe weather such as tornadoes, but most go North into Oklahoma or south of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. High winds are pretty common in the spring, hail is possible about anytime and oh yeah, did I mention that it is HOT AND DRY alot of the time ? Still, as a transplanted Illini, I'll take HOT AND DRY over COLD AND WET any day.
