Upper Ridge Builds oVer TExas

HOT, DRY WEATHER CONTINUES - Temperatures in some spots are already in the 80s this morning.  As stated in the last blog post, today will be no different from recent days; we will continue to mention hot, breezy days with fair nights.  Highs will be in the upper 90s today.

The same forecast sticks with us for the rest of the week.  Highs will be at or near 100 degrees with lots of sunshine.  The average first 100 degree day in DFW is July 1.

THE WEEKEND - Saturday will be very hot with highs in the 100-105 degree range.  If DFW can surpass 100 degrees, that temperature will be established as our new record high for June 2.  Our previous record is 100 degrees set in 1998.  A cold front comes through Saturday night/early Sunday morning mostly in dry fashion.  We still could see a stray thunderstorm try to develop in the morning.  Highs will still be in the upper 90s.

NEXT WEEK - Expect nothing but fair nights and hot, breezy days with lots of sunshine with highs in the upper 90s to low 100s.  See the Texas Weather Discussion Video for more details.
