A weak summer disturbance will bring the potential for isolated thunderstorms across much of North and Central Texas this afternoon into tonight. While severe weather is not expected, a few storms may produce strong gusty winds. Temperatures will also remain hot across the area with highs in the upper-90s and lower-100s with heat indices approaching 105°. If you have outdoor plans today be sure to monitor the weather, take appropriate precautions to protect yourself from the sun and heat, and plan for potential interruptions from storms should they form in your area.
High pressure will continue to reinforce sunny skies and hot temperatures near or slightly above normal across North and Central Texas next week. Hot afternoons with temperatures around 100° will give way to warm nights with lows ranging from the mid-70s to the lower-80s. Even though a stray shower or thunderstorm will be possible (10% chance) Sunday and Monday afternoons, the vast majority of North and Central Texans will remain dry after today for the foreseeable future.
