Dallas-Fort Worth has reached its 20th 100-degree day of the year, with temperatures expected to top out at around 102 degrees and heat index values climbing as high as 106.
Weather Outlook
A dominant high-pressure ridge parked over the region is blocking rain and keeping temperatures well above normal across most of Texas, with little relief expected in the long-range outlook. Gusts reaching 25 to 30 mph are forecast through the afternoon and into the night, prompting officials to warn residents against outdoor burning or discarding cigarettes outdoors.
Meanwhile, meteorologists are monitoring two strong tropical waves moving westward toward the Caribbean. However, the persistent high-pressure ridge over Texas is likely to deflect any potential tropical systems away from the region, leaving rain chances near zero for the foreseeable future.
