North Texas tied the record high temperature yesterday of 107° and unfortunately this relentless heat will continue through the weekend. We'll also be flirting with record highs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect today and will most likely be extended into the weekend as well.
Afternoon highs tomorrow through Sunday will range between 106° and 108°. Grass fire danger will also remain high throughout the period, especially west of I-35W.
I'm still monitoring the potential for a weak cold front to slide through the area early next week, dropping temperatures into the upper 90s. There is also a slight chance of rain Monday and Tuesday.
