We only hit 94° yesterday. Enjoy the slightly cooler temperatures again today, because the brutal heat returns tomorrow and will be lasting through at least next Tuesday.
We can thank the rare mid August cold front for cooling us down the past couple of days, and especially this morning, as some areas have dipped into the 60s. An Air Quality Alert is in effect today, as we stay below 100° again. I'm forecasting a high of 97 degrees at DFW Airport.
The oppressive heat returns starting tomorrow, with an afternoon high of 107°. That would tie the record for the date. Excessive Heat Warnings are likely.
Same song and dance Friday through next Tuesday with afternoon highs between 107 and 109°. Records may be broken Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. At least the humidity will remain on the low side during the afternoon hours. Excessive Heat Warnings are likely each day.
We need some rain! The deficit at DFW is 8.44 in and climbing. Unfortunately, no rain is in the forecast over the next 7 days.
