NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) – Your CBS News Texas First Alert Weather Team is tracking a few storms today. Then, get ready for much hotter weather before a slight break on Sunday with isolated showers and a high below 100°.
There's no relief in sight from the heat and humidity. In fact, a Heat Advisory is in effect for North Texas until 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Remember to take breaks while outdoors, drink lots of water and look before you lock your car, so that your kids and pets are safe from the dangerous heat.
The upper-level ridge is really going to build and expand over the south/southwest over the next few days – hence the big warmup. But getting into the weekend, you see that northwest flow aloft by Sunday (blue lines, indicating northerly winds). That could bring a quick break from the triple-digit highs into Sunday.

This weekend, the heat will continue with highs in the triple digits.
