Welcome to the last week of August! And mother nature is showing no mercy with heat advisories just east of DFW today and most likely tomorrow.
Afternoon highs will be in the upper 90s today and tomorrow, mid 90s Thursday-Saturday and low 90s for Sunday and Monday of next week.
Some of you lucky ones may see a late day shower storm as soon as Thursday and Friday, especially east and south of DFW. A little bit better chance of scattered storms as we work our way into Sunday and Monday of next week, as daytime highs will only be in the low 90s by then.
The ridge of high pressure anchored over the south central plain states right now will shift into the eastern United States by early next week. This may drive an area of disturbed weather presently in the eastern Caribbean, NW into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week. Residents along the Gulf Coast need to monitor the tropics next week.
