Thursday was the warmest morning in quite some time and there are some hot days ahead. But, fall starts Sunday morning and it'll feel like fall next week with possible rain chances.
Thursday morning's temperatures were near 80 degrees, and Wednesday's high was 96. Thursday's high will reach the upper 90s. Under a partly cloudy sky, Friday's high will be the same. Heat index values will be slightly above 100 degrees. The average high is 87 degrees.
This weekend looks hot and dry with temperatures a few degrees cooler. Mid 90s for Saturday, low 90s for Sunday under a partly cloudy sky. Heat index values will still be in the upper 90s.
A cold front will approach Monday morning bringing a chance of showers with it. This will be mainly in the northwestern half of North Texas. The front will meander into Dallas-Fort Worth through Tuesday with a few showers around. The best rain chances will be Tuesday night into Wednesday as this front gets the push it needs to move through the entire area. The best chance of rain is Tuesday night into Wednesday.
