Heat Advisory in effect for parts of North Texas as temperatures return to summer averages

North Texas has had 12 straight days with below-average temperatures. The average high temperature for this time of year is 97 degrees. After mid-August, temperatures will trend downward until September.

A strong upper-level area of high pressure will slowly nose its way toward North Texas this week. That means no rain, increasing temperatures, and more heat advisories. Afternoon highs on Monday will reach the mid to upper 90s, near 100 tomorrow, and 100-103 degrees Wednesday through Friday.

As the weekend nears, the ridge of high pressure may back off to the west a bit allowing a northerly flow to develop in the upper levels of the atmosphere. If it does, a weak cold front may settle into the area, producing some widely scattered late-day showers and storms. It will also be a few degrees cooler with highs in the upper 90s.
