Temperatures are anticipated to increase throughout the weekend in North Texas as hot and arid conditions are predicted to persist. The Dallas-Fort Worth region has experienced peak temperatures in the upper 80s, as reported by the National Weather Service. However, it is expected that these temperatures will exceed 90°F on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. The overnight lows will continue to be in the 60s.
Additionally, the National Weather Service indicated that temperatures could exceed the seasonal average by seven to fourteen degrees Fahrenheit, with no precipitation anticipated. The region is at a higher risk of grass fires through Sunday due to the prolonged drought spell, which has resulted in the drying of vegetation.
KXAS-TV (NBC5) reports that the dry air and low humidity will provide North Texans with a hint of autumn, despite the heat, despite the fact that the jet stream pattern remains unfavorable for cooler fall weather. Nevertheless, the elevated fire hazard is also a result of the low humidity.
It is anticipated that a robust fall cold front will reach on Sunday night, providing the region with much-needed relief. The maximum temperatures for the upcoming week are expected to decrease to the 70s and 80s, indicating a transition to more seasonal, cooler weather. Residents are advised to exercise caution until that time, as the likelihood of a fire has increased.
