Heat returns to North Texas before rain chances, cooler fall weather

Wednesday has been absolutely beautiful and seasonal and overnight temperatures will gradually cool off with lows in the upper 60s. 

Another fantastic and crisp morning is on tap for Thursday, but the afternoon will be hot. Compressional heating will take place ahead of the next front on Thursday, leading to highs flirting with the triple digits across North Texas. Hopefully, the Cowboys will also be heating up and scorching the Eagles during Thursday's game.

The heat won't last for long; temperatures this weekend are forecasted to dip well below average.

Friday will remain hot and cloudy with a slight chance for rain. The rain will depend on the placement and timing of the front, as well as the moisture available in the atmosphere. 

By Saturday, the front sags southward, bringing cooler temperatures and an uptick in precipitation. The amount of rain and where it drops will strictly be dependent on the moisture content available in the atmosphere.

Sunday's forecast is extremely conditional and dependent on the track of Hurricane Lorena

If North Texas receives an abundance of tropical moisture from Lorena, then cloud cover will keep temperatures in the 70s. Also, heavy showers and storms could lead to a flooding threat. 

Be sure to stick with the First Alert Weather team as this forecast continues to be ironed out.
