Heat advisory active for North Texas with high temps, heat indices set to stay in triple digits

The heat advisory continues through 8 p.m. Tuesday night, but will be extended. Temperatures remain in the triple digits, with heat index values between 105 – 110°F. 

Even our nighttime temperatures will struggle to cool, with lows in the upper 70s and lower 80s areawide. This trend will, unfortunately, continue with a lack of cooling during the day and night.

As we head into the end of the week, daytime highs will progressively warm, with heat index values reaching as high as 115° by Friday. No real rain chances in the forecast as the ridge of high pressure responsible for our heat the past couple of weeks continues to keep us dry and suppressed.

As the ridge of high pressure slowly moves off to the west by Friday, and centers itself in the Desert Southwest, that will open the door for a weak cold front to sneak in late Friday into Saturday morning. Temperatures will step back into the upper 90s by Sunday, but we are not expecting any noticeable relief from this cold front.

This cold front doesn't last long and temperatures heat back into the triple digits by the first of the next workweek.
