Hottest weather of the summer is coming

Get ready to sizzle in the coming days. Temperatures have been below normal for weeks. But that is about to change. This means triple-digit heat is expected in North Texas. DFW has yet to officially hit 100 this summer. That will likely change perhaps as early as Sunday. Heat index values will range from 100 to 105 degrees through the weekend.

A change in the jet stream pattern means the heat is on across North Texas this weekend into next week. The high pressure system responsible for the hot weather has been over the Western United States much of the summer, but now it’s shifting east into the Central U.S. Make sure to stay safe in the heat if you’re working or playing outdoors.

As temperatures increase, our rain chances will be dropping. In fact, dry weather is expected for DFW all of next week. But there is a chance that a few showers may pop up by Wednesday south and east of DFW. Be prepared for staying safe in the heat. Stay hydrated, keep your pets cool and check on the elderly.
