Summer arrives in North Texas this morning at 9:57 a.m. The official start of summer is, of course, just a point on the calendar.
We have been suffering through summer-like heat and humidity for days. Two-thirds of Texas remains under Excessive Heat Warnings from the National Weather Service.
In Dallas-Fort Worth the warning is due to expire this evening at 8 p.m.
Today's high at DFW Airport is expected to be 99 with enough humidity to put the Heat Index at 111. However, we stand to get a slight break in the heat tonight when a front moves through, bringing about a 30 percent chance of showers.
That should put Thursday and Friday's highs in the low-to-mid 90s with the Heat Index around 100. But by next week -- Sunday, Monday and Tuesday -- the actual temperatures could hit triple digits for the first time this season.
