Heat advisory extended into Wednesday in North Texas
NORTH TEXAS – As of 4:45 p.m., the high at DFW only reached 95. We'll see if this holds, but that's what higher moisture in the air will do.Dew points remain in the 70s for a lot of the area, so it's harder for temps to warm up but it also means the humidity is rough. We're expecting dew points to mix out a bit more by Wednesday afternoon, so highs should get to near 100° in the afternoon. Heat indices will still be in the heat advisory criteria though, so it's another afternoon where North Texas is highlighted in orange for a heat advisory. We'll continue to play this game of triple-digit highs and heat index values around heat advisory criteria through the end of the work week.A weak cold front is expected to move into North Texas this weekend. We'll have a little more cloud cover on Saturday and Sunday, along with low rain chances – but at least it's something! The front will also (hopefully) knock our high temps back into the upper 90s.
