It's finally happening! The upper level ridge of high pressure is shifting to the east of north Texas. What does this mean for us? First it means the heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are moving east along with it. However, it'll still feel like it's close to 105° today through the upcoming weekend.
Today will most likely be our last triple-digit temperature over the next 7 days. Afternoon highs today will top out at 100 degrees.
Starting tomorrow, a weak trough of low pressure will slide close to the Red River Valley. By Sunday, lasting through the 4th of July, this trough combined with afternoon heating will allow isolated showers and storms to form between I-20 and the Red River Valley through the period. Coverage will be 20%. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper nineties. Heat index values will approach 105 degrees.
Wednesday and Thursday will still be rather warm, with highs in the mid to upper nineties. However, slightly better rain chances may arrive by late Thursday, as a stronger trough of low pressure digs deeper into north Texas.
