Heat Advisory

Hazardous Weather Outlook

Hot With Afternoon Storm Chances Through Saturday

Increasing Storm Chances Late Saturday and Sunday

Next Week's Rain Chances

Hot and mostly dry weather will continue Friday and Saturday across North and Central Texas. Afternoon heat index values will peak near 102 to 105 degrees, so continue to take heat precautions if spending time outdoors. A few isolated showers or storms may develop each afternoon, but most locations will remain dry. Any storms that do develop could produce gusty winds and frequent lightning.

Rain and thunderstorm chances will continue through early next week, with the focus gradually shifting south into Central Texas Monday through Wednesday. Not everyone will see rain each day, but scattered storms may produce lightning and locally heavy rainfall, especially where storms move slowly or repeatedly affect the same areas. Rain chances should become more limited by late week as temperatures begin to climb again.
