A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of North and Central Texas through 8 this evening for heat indices as high as 107 degrees. Make sure to drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks in the shade, wear light colored and breathable clothing, and never leave kids or pets in vehicles.
Well above normal temperatures will continue across much of North and Central Texas today with highs ranging from the mid-90s to the lower-100s. Afternoon heat indices will range from near 100 to 107 degrees. Most will remain dry, but a weak tropical disturbance will bring very low chances (10-20%) for isolated showers and storms this afternoon and evening.
Very hot temperatures continue across the region with afternoon highs largely remaining in the upper-90s and lower-100s. On Thursday, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible across North Texas (30-60% chance). This may finally break the exceptionally long dry streak at DFW which hasn’t seen measurable rainfall since July 15 of this year. On Friday, a couple stray showers or storms (10-20% chance) will be possible along and east of the I-35 corridor. While no severe weather is expected, any storms that develop will bring the risk for lightning and strong gusty winds.
DFW’s hot and dry weather this summer has continued to stick around with another day of triple digit temperatures and no rainfall recorded on September 8th. This now puts at 6th in terms of number of days without measurable precip, and tied for 9th in terms of number of days with triple digit heat.
