Today - Hot, Showers & Storms For a Few

A Hot & Mostly Dry Labor Day Weekend

Isolated showers and storms are possible (10-30% chance) this afternoon in western Central TX and the Brazos Valley due to lingering moisture from a tropical system. Showers or storms should dissipate within a few hours of sunset. Otherwise, it will be hot with highs in the 90s to near 100 today. Expect triple digit heat indices this afternoon, especially across North TX.

This Labor Day Weekend will be hot and dry for most, aside from low (20-30%) afternoon rain chances in the Brazos Valley on Saturday and Sunday. High temps will range from the mid-90s to near 100 degrees, which is above average for this late in the summer. Make sure to hydrate and take breaks in the shade if you have outdoor plans this weekend. Meanwhile, the wildfire threat will remain elevated along and west of Highway 281 this weekend due to the hot and dry weather.
