A strong upper level ridge of high pressure will continue to dominate our weather across north Texas for at least the next 7 to 10 days. This ridge may intensify even more next week. This being said, afternoon highs will reach the low 90s through the rest of the week and into the upcoming weekend. Morning lows will be in the mid to upper 70s. Low clouds will also invade each morning, but burn off by late morning into the early afternoon. We will also be dealing with a ton of humidity and a south wind gusting to 25 mph. Heat index values will hover near 100 degrees.
In other news, there'll be some severe storms a good 200 to 350 miles west of DFW for the next couple of late afternoons and evenings. Unfortunately, this rain will stay well to the west of DFW. Please be careful if you have travel plans into west Texas or the Big Country. Some of these storms will become severe with large hail and damaging wind being the primary threat. These storms will weaken by midnight.
The 8 to 14 day outlook just put out by NOAA, keeps temperatures above average next week with below average precipitation. Next week may be even hotter than this week!
Please remember to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, wear light-colored loose-fitted clothing, apply sunscreen and wear a hat. Also, make sure your pets have a nice cool place to stay or at least a shady area in your backyard if you have to leave for a few hours. Also make sure you put plenty of water out for them.
