There are Excessive Heat Warnings for North Texas Monday and Tuesday before temperatures get slightly cooler Thursday and Friday. There will be slight storm chances Monday night, late Wednesday, and late Thursday before triple-digit heat returns into the weekend.

Serious heat Monday through Wednesday with afternoon highs that will approach 100 degrees. When you factor in the oppressive humidity it'll feel more like 110 to 115 degrees. Please take the necessary precautions, especially if you're working outdoors.

A few lucky ones may see a few storms west of DFW Monday evening as the dry line approaches. There's also another slight chance of storms east of DFW overnight as a disturbance dives out of Oklahoma. Hail and gusty wind will be the threats. Again, chances are very slim.

This ridge of high pressure will back a little bit to the west of North Texas on Thursday and Friday, dropping temperatures into the mid-90s for afternoon highs. There's also a slight chance of storms late Wednesday and again late Thursday. The threats are hail and gusty wind.

Unfortunately, this ridge of high pressure builds back across North Texas this weekend, with afternoon highs near 100 degrees on Saturday, and around 102 degrees on Sunday. Heat index values may exceed 110 degrees.

Please stay cool and hydrated my friends and try to enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
