The mid to upper high continues to be in control through this week. This weekend it will be just to the west, northwest keeping North Texas in a hot pattern. As a result, the heat builds as well as the heat dangers this week.

CBS News Texas First Alert Meteorologists will monitor the temperature trend this week but are already considering issuing an alert for the near extreme heat risk Friday through Sunday.

North Texas remains in a dry and hot pattern this week. There is a small chance there could be some cloud cover and an isolated shower on Thursday night but the chance only sits at 10%. A weak front will slide south to southeast through Oklahoma where there is a better chance of rain in the forecast.

Exercise heat safety plans, make sure to hydrate as much as possible, take breaks in the shade or the air conditioning, check on elderly neighbors and make sure to check on pets.
