Sunshine and humidity on tap for North Texans before rain returns
Thursday officially marked the hottest day of the year at DFW. We topped out at 97°, which is actually the longest it has taken us to get to 97° since back in 2007, when we did not reach 97° until July 16.
It was a warm and breezy day and Friday will be similar. High pressure is dominating our forecast for another day, sending highs back into the middle 90s, with feels-like temps approaching the triple digits, once again, with abundant sunshine.
As we head into the upcoming weekend, things shift a bit.
A trough in the upper levels of the atmosphere brings scattered thunderstorms for parts of North Texas, especially during the afternoons and evenings. Expect greater coverage of storms to the west of I-35, where a stationary front is expected to stall, stretching from West Texas into Kansas.
While the weekend does not look like a washout, where those storms do set up, they will carry lots of moisture, which could bring a flooding threat for North and Central Texas.
Just be sure you're checking the radar periodically and keeping yourself apprised of the latest forecast.
The First Alert Weather Team will be walking you through all the details as we head into the weekend.
