Temperatures reached 100° on Thursday afternoon, marking the second time this summer that the century mark has been reached. More triple-digit temperatures are forecasted, with afternoon heat index values expected to climb to between 108° and 110° due to humidity. A Heat Advisory is currently in place and is likely to be extended through the weekend and into early next week.
A frontal boundary in north Texas may bring some rain, but it is expected to struggle to stay together and bring meaningful precipitation. The best chance of showers is expected in northern cities on Friday and Saturday nights.
Further details on the heat wave and forecast are available, including the potential extension of the Heat Advisory and the likelihood of rain in the area.
