A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of North and Central Texas through 8 pm this evening for heat indices as high as 108 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.
Abnormal heat will continue across much of North and Central Texas today with highs ranging from the mid-90s to 102. In areas under the Heat Advisory, heat indices will reach 105-108 degrees this afternoon. Most will remain dry, but areas along and west of I-35 have a 20% chance for isolated showers and storms now through this evening. Make sure to hydrate and take breaks in the shade today.
Texoma and portions of North TX will see a 40-60% chance of storms on Thursday afternoon and evening. Some storms may be strong with gusty outflow winds, but organized severe weather is unlikely. Coverage will be scattered, so not all areas highlighted in green will receive rainfall.
Meanwhile, the heat will continue with highs in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees across North and Central TX.
Following storm chances on Thursday, this weekend looks to be very hot, with high temperatures ranging from the upper 90s to 103 degrees. A couple stray showers or storms (10-30% chance) may linger across Texoma and East TX through Friday afternoon, but otherwise most will remain dry over the weekend.
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.
