We ONLY hit 103° yesterday and did not break a record. Unfortunately, the heat will build back across the area today and especially Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The upper level ridge of high pressure that has drifted a little bit farther away from north Texas will return soon, bringing record high temperatures back to the area. 104° today was a Heat Advisory. Heat index values will approach 110 degrees. 106 on Thursday, 108 on Friday and Saturday. We'll most likely break record highs.
By Sunday, a slow moving cold front will be crossing the Red River Valley, bringing a chance for some scattered showers and storms to north Texas. We'll still be hot with a high near 105.
This weak front will settle just south of DFW on Monday with high temperatures ONLY in the upper 90s. A few scattered storms may develop during peaking hours. Upper 90s again for Tuesday with a few leftover late day showers and storms, especially south of DFW..
Fall is 31 days away. Hang in there, we'll cool off eventually.
