Dry stretch with warmer temperatures expected across North Texas. Rain chances increase this weekend

North Texas was seasonable on Tuesday, highs topped out in the lower 90s, and some cities saw a couple of spotty showers. Tuesday night, most of the area will clear up, with the exception of some lingering cloud cover for counties to the southeast of the metroplex.

Wednesday morning will be beautiful with lows in the 60s and a light breeze from the northwest. Temperatures will climb throughout the afternoon, eventually reaching into the lower 90s once again. However, there is an abundance of moisture in the atmosphere, so the heat index value will be in the mid to upper 90s.

The metroplex will have another mostly sunny day on Thursday. A dry, southwesterly wind combined with compressional heating taking place ahead of the next approaching front will cause temperatures to flirt with the triple digits.

This weekend will be interesting. 

A cold front is expected to stall near the Red River Valley on Friday and push south on Saturday night. This may pop up a few showers and storms. 

Tropical Storm Lorena is currently in the Eastern Pacific and has the potential to bring North Texas some of its residual moisture by the end of this weekend. The timing and the path are currently being ironed out.
