I'm sure all of you are sick and tired of this heat. Unfortunately, the relentless heat will continue five out of the next 7 days across North Texas.
Widespread Excessive Heat Warnings remain in place through Sunday. Yesterday we hit 106° at DFW Airport, we'll hit 106° again today. Also, we're dealing with a high grass fire danger, especially along and west of I-35W. We have two ongoing wildfires across Wise County right now.
Near record heat invades the area Friday through Sunday with afternoon highs between 106° and 109°. The hottest day will be on Sunday.
This bubble of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere will drift off to the west on Monday and Tuesday, allowing a weak cold front to settle just south of Interstate 20. A couple of weak disturbances will ride the railroad track this front produces, allowing a few scattered showers and storms late Monday and late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. 70% of you will remain dry. Nothing severe is expected. Please remember if you hear thunder, get out of and off of the water.
Afternoon highs will only be near 100° on Monday, upper 90s on Tuesday. Unfortunately, this bubble of high pressure returns Wednesday through Friday of next week, as temperatures soar above 100°. There are signs of another cold front that may approach the area by the following weekend.
