The past couple of days have produced welcome relief from the oppressive heat, but today the intense heat is back. Triple digit temperatures make a big comeback across North Texas this afternoon. In fact, highs will be near record territory (around 107 for DFW).
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for North Texas from noon Thursday through Friday evening. This warning is likely to be extended into the weekend due to continued dangerous heat.
Next week looks hot and mainly dry. The one feature that could change the forecast would be a tropical system that could develop in the Gulf of Mexico. If that were to happen, rain chances and cooler temperatures would be possible by mid week. Right now, that’s only a very small chance.
