Hot July Heat Hits North Texas

Weekend Forecast: A Mix of Heat and Scattered Storms

North Texas greeted Friday with the usual summer warmth—humid, sticky, and relentless. Temperatures soared into the mid-90s, while the feels-like temperature crept into the low 100s. A modest 10% chance of an isolated shower or storm lurked in the afternoon, offering little relief from the oppressive air.

As the holiday weekend unfolds, the heat shows no sign of easing. Saturday promises even more intensity, with highs pushing into the upper 90s and a feels-like temperature hovering between 100°F and 105°F. While most areas will stay dry, a small risk of isolated storms lingers—especially east of the Metroplex.

Sunday brings a slightly better chance of rain, with a 20% probability of one or two brief storms. Yet, the relentless heat persists, carrying into the following week with temperatures holding steady in the mid- to upper 90s—well above the seasonal norm.

Staying Safe in the Swelter

For those planning outdoor gatherings, preparation is key. Hydration, lightweight clothing, and sunscreen are essential to making the most of the holiday without succumbing to the heat.

The forecast is clear: expect a classic Texas summer. Stay cool, stay safe, and make the most of the season—even if it’s a scorcher.
