Heat into Weekend

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far at DFW. The mark of 98° will likely be duplicated today as well. The HEAT ADVISORY, the season's first, will continue all the way until Saturday at 8pm:

This afternoon we expect the heat index to hit around 105°.

We are watching a cluster of T'Storms up in Arkansas closely. They will dive east, southeast and stay out of our area but produce outflow boundaries that could trigger storms here. Left over boundaries could also fire up storms tomorrow morning early:

With the dome of high pressure parked to our west this weekend the door opens for any storms to our east to drift into east Texas. We'll keep the storm chances small over the weekend and mostly across our eastern and southeastern counties:

The weather won't be as hot by Sunday as the high pressure ridge continues to linger out west. We'll be in the low 90's to start summer (the solstice is on Monday) into the middle of next week. Small rain chances are included later this week from storms trying to ride in the northwest flow aloft into north Texas:
