North Texas Weather Forecast
Introduction to the Weather Forecast
It looks like North Texas will go another week without hitting 100 degrees.
While it comes as a pleasant surprise, it may leave some Texans wondering if, or when, the other shoe will drop. Extreme summer heat has become the norm in recent years, making average heat feel like a relief.
Current Weather Conditions
The end of the workweek is likely to just barely miss the triple-digit milestone — the region registered 99 degrees Thursday at multiple locations, and has a high of 99 again in the forecast Friday. Those days were previously forecast to break 100 by the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office.
Despite an increased likelihood of evading triple digits, the end of the week has still been noticeably hotter than the start, resulting in a heat advisory Thursday and Friday until 9 p.m. The heat index could reach up to 107 degrees in some parts of North Texas, making the risk of heat-related illness even more severe.
Heat-Related Illness and Precautions
Dallas County also reported its first heat-related death of the year on Thursday, a 60-year-old man with unknown preexisting conditions.
Temperatures may drop off some this weekend to the mid-90s, but increasingly oppressive humidity will keep the heat index up. The heat index is forecast to reach 106 at DFW International Airport on Saturday.
Chance of Rain and Clouds
Clouds may also bring a chance of rain to the eastern side of the metro area Saturday.
