29 triple digit days so far this summer and you can add seven more to that total by this Sunday.
I do have a bit of good news though, there's a slight chance of showers and storms late this evening through tomorrow afternoon, mainly along and north of Interstate 20. 30% coverage overnight tonight, 20% tomorrow.
A weak cold front is slowly sliding south out of Oklahoma this morning. It's this front combined with an upper level disturbance moving through north Texas late tonight that will produce our slight chance of rain. Afternoon highs today will be in the mid-90s along the Red River, around 104° at DFW Airport. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for today.
More Excessive Heat Warnings are likely through the rest of the week. Tuesday's high will be around 103°, and then we heat up.. Wednesday through Friday, afternoon highs will approach 107°. The grass fire danger will also increase across the area, as southerly winds gust to 30mph..
The heat will continue into the weekend, with a slight chance of showers and storms late Sunday. Saturday's high 106°, 102° on Sunday.
