it goes on and on and on

The hot weather continues this week, with hope that next week takes the edge off.

Heat advisories continue area-wide today as highs reach up to around 101º, pushing heat index values to 105º+. The high pressure ridge will back off a bit over the next few days, allowing a degree or two to be shaved off the top - but that’s about it. That will allow a weak front to move into North Texas…but it will likely stay north of the Metroplex. That ridge returns by the weekend, so we’ll be back to the triple digits for most areas.

Next week does look to bring more 90’s than triples, but I’m not completely sold on it yet. Models continue to waver on it, so I’ll keep monitoring those trends to see how the forecast should shape up as we go through this week. Stay cool out there!
