Wow! The last time we were this hot was July 8 when DFW Airport reached 106º.

The dangerous heat won't be letting up for at least the next three days. So, First Alert Weather Days are posted through Wednesday.

Late tonight into early Monday morning, a couple of showers/isolated storms could move in from the north.  We're not expecting much rain out of it.

However, a few showers are expected mainly toward the Red River.  A couple of showers could push as far south as the Metroplex into early Monday morning. Right now, the rain chance is around 10-20%.
