Thursday and Friday are both First Alert Weather Days due to strong storms and heavy rain.
As of Sunday, DFW has had 100 consecutive days at 90° or higher, the longest streak ever. However, some big changes are on the way this week.
Though conditions will be dry during the majority of the day, there is still a chance for an isolated shower or storm later in the afternoon through the evening.
An upper-level trough strengthens, moving from the west to the east.
Highs will reach the low to mid-90s on Friday afternoon. Relative humidity will be low today, increasing the risk of fire in the afternoon west of I-35.
Temperatures stay warm this weekend for the State Fair of Texas, with highs in the 90s each day and plenty of clouds.
Expect a mix of clouds and sunshine later Wednesday, with a slim 10% chance of a shower or rumble mainly toward the western counties.
There is only a slim 10% chance of an isolated shower or rumble, mainly south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, into Tuesday evening.
This cold front won't cool us down much, but it will drop our temperatures by a couple of degrees and slightly lower our humidity by Tuesday afternoon.
A few lingering storm chances move east of I-35.
Be mindful of Saturday's fire threat across the region.
Temperatures will reach the upper 90s to around 100° by Thursday afternoon.
Today, DFW is expected to reach 100 degrees. If this happens, it will be the 52nd triple-digit day so far this year, the sixth most recorded on record.
In fact, DFW will be very close to tying or setting new records as we move throughout the week.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we'll barely drop into the 90s by Thursday, but the 90s look to stick around into this weekend.
For Sunday, expect yet another sunny, hot and breezy day.
A heat advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. Saturday night due to a heat index, known as the feels-like value, reaching up to 107 degrees.
Meteorologists warn that hail may damage vehicles, while strong winds could bring down tree limbs and cause damage to roofs and siding.
Rain chances rise to 30% in DFW and increase to 40% by Thursday night.
There is a slim 10% chance of an isolated shower or rumble on Thursday afternoon west of the Metroplex, but this changes tomorrow.
A heat advisory remains in effect through 8 p.m. Wednesday for much of North Texas.
Feels-like temperatures will be as hot as 107° on Monday.
Over 36 million Americans are under heat alerts for Sunday, including North Texans.
Triple-digit temperatures are here to stay through the next week.
Looking ahead to Labor Day weekend, expect mainly dry but hot conditions.
