A Heat Advisory is in effect for all of North Texas lasting through today at least. An Excessive Heat Warning, a step up from a Heat Advisory, is in effect for a handful of counties in western North Texas. High temps in the Excessive Heat Warning could be 105° or hotter.
The rest of North Texas is under a Heat Advisory where actual temps could be up to 105° and heat index values will be between 105° and 110°.
Rain and relief?
Thursday could be the hottest day of the week and of the year so far. Some relief arrives Friday and over the weekend. A weak front will bring more clouds and a few pop up showers or thunderstorms. The threat for severe weather is low and rain coverage will be low.
A couple of rounds of storms will be possible over the weekend. This will likely be along our Red River counties and western counties as decaying storms move in from Oklahoma. Most of North Texas stays dry over the weekend.
Highs will likely drop out of the 100s. It will still be hot, but likely not as hot as the middle part of the week. Triple digit heat returns next week.
