Excessive heat and red flag warnings continue through Sunday, record-breaking heat possible this weekend. A weak cold front cools us down briefly Monday and Tuesday, but still above 100°, and then we heat right back up after that. Those are your weather stories over the next seven days.
We're waking up the temperatures in the upper 70s to mid 80s this morning with some high clouds overhead. We hit 107° yesterday...we'll likely hit that number today through the weekend. The record high on Saturday is 107°; 105° on Sunday. records may be broken.
Believe It or not, another weak cold front will come into the area on Monday, bringing a very slight chance of rain as it passes through during the afternoon. Afternoon highs will range from the mid-90s along the Red River to 103° at DFW, and a few degrees hotter south of the Metroplex.
Tuesday will be mostly sunny and not as hot as well, with a high around 101 °.
Unfortunately, we heat right back up Wednesday and Thursday with highs 105° to 107°. There's also a slight chance of rain on Thursday, as another weak cold front slides into the area.
