Texas Heat Shatters Records; Storms Loom

After a tumultuous weekend with over 100 storm reports, North Texas is bracing for record-breaking heat. Temperatures are expected to soar to 93°F on Monday, surpassing the 1987 record and feeling even warmer with humidity. While the morning will be breezy and mostly cloudy, the afternoon may see isolated storms, with severe weather confined to areas northeast of D/FW.

Tuesday has been declared a First Alert Weather Day as a cold front moves through, increasing the risk of strong to severe storms. The primary threats will be damaging winds and hail, with a slight possibility of tornadoes. Conditions will begin to cool down on Wednesday, with temperatures dropping into the 70s and continuing to fall through Friday.

Periods of rain and storms are anticipated on Thursday and Friday, potentially bringing heavy rainfall. The need for additional First Alert Weather Days will be monitored. By the weekend, drier conditions are expected to return.
