Triple-digit heat remains in the forecast through Sunday and then cooler weather with some rain possible late Sunday into Monday.

We're starting off in the mid-to-upper 70s again this morning under a fair sky. Another sunny and hot day is ahead with afternoon highs near 100 degrees. Wind will be from the south at 5 to 10 mph, therefore, another Air Quality Alert is in effect for today.

For tonight, clear skies with morning lows dropping between 75 and 80 degrees.

Possible Heat Advisories may be issued Thursday through Saturday. Temperatures will warm to 101 tomorrow, 103 on Friday, and 104 on Saturday. Heat index values will be 105+.

Things start to change by late Sunday but not before we hit 100° again. Clouds will increase by evening and there's a pretty decent shot of showers and thunderstorms by late evening through Monday morning. Right now, I'm going with a high of 90 degrees on Monday.

A few leftover showers and storms, mainly south of DFW on Tuesday, with highs in the low 90s. Unfortunately, the triple-digit heat will return by the end of next week.
