Extreme heat warning, heat advisory both in place for North Texas amid dangerous temperatures

Thursday is a First Alert Weather Day due to the dangers of extreme heat.

The National Weather Service has extended the extreme heat warning until 8 p.m. Friday, with actual temperatures expected to reach 104° to 108° across North Texas.

This prolonged, dangerous heat significantly increases the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. We will continue to monitor the extreme heat and provide updates throughout today and Friday.

Most of North Texas will stay dry, but an upper-level disturbance and surface stalled front will bring a chance for a few storms for counties to the northeast and east of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex Thursday evening. Rain chances are around 10-20%

Friday, there is another opportunity for an isolated storm, but most of the area will remain dry and sunny.

Temperatures remain in the triple digits throughout the weekend and moving into the next week.
