Sunny, breezy, and hot pattern

A hot and breezy pattern will be the dominant theme across North Texas the next few days. While there’s a slight chance of rain early today to the northeast (up toward Paris), the vast majority will stay dry for several days. Highs will climb into the middle to upper 90s today with the heat index around 100 to 102. Fortunately, there will be a bit of wind to take the edge of the heat. A south breeze of 10 to 20 mph can be expected.

A ridge is building overhead and will remain in place most of the week. This will lead to sunny and dry conditions with highs into the 90s. And before the week ends DFW may very well see it’s first 100 degree day of the season. Heat index values will certainly top the century mark several times during the week.

Rain chances may return across the area with a weak frontal boundary by the Friday-Saturday timeframe. But right now, those rain chances are on the low side at 10% to 20%.
