Upper level ridge dominates through the weekend keeping DFW hot and humid

Upper level ridge dominates through the weekend
Upper level ridge dominates through the weekend
National Weather Service - Fort Worth

We're starting off this morning in the middle seventies once again. Low clouds have also invaded the area. Humidity is also abundant again.

A strong ridge of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere will continue to dominate our weather through the weekend. Unfortunately, this ridge will strengthen as we work our way into the middle of next week. Afternoon highs today through Friday will be in the low nineties. Middle nineties, near record highs this weekend and upper nineties into next week. I wish I had better news!


This is the type of pattern we typically see in late June and July.This ridge of high pressure may flatten out and push into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of next week and into the following weekend. If this occurs, this will allow a cold front to come through the area increasing our rain chances and cooling temperatures off a bit. Fingers crossed!
