The heat builds back across north Texas through the weekend, but a bit of a break from the intense heat arrives by early next week. Plus, a few lucky Texans we'll see some rain.
43 triple digit temperatures so far this year and counting. We will add five more days to that total by next Monday. This will exceed the number of triple digit days we felt last year. Plus, records may be tied or broken today through Sunday as well. It'll all come to an end soon. Fall is just 30 days away.
An Excessive Heat Warning is in place today and tomorrow. These will most likely be extended into the weekend as well. I'm forecasting a high of 106 today, 108 tomorrow, 107 on Saturday, and 106 on Sunday. These readings will tie or break records each day.
If you're lucky, you may see a nice late day storm southeast of the area on Saturday. 20% coverage on Sunday, 30% coverage on Monday, and a 30% coverage on Tuesday (south of DFW). What's causing this weather change you ask? A weak cold front. This front will slide through the area on Monday, increasing our rain chances for the first time in weeks. Plus, we all get to see what clouds look like again.
With more clouds in the area and rain on radar, the high on Monday will be 101°, 95 for Tuesday, and 98 for Wednesday. Unfortunately, the triple digits will return by the end of next week. Good news: We may not feel 105° + temperatures again in 2023... time will tell.
