NORTH TEXAS – Areas to the east experienced a brief respite from the intense heat as a weakening storm complex moved south from Oklahoma around midday, bringing a little rain and a slight dip in temperatures. However, this limited rainfall did not provide significant relief from the ongoing heat wave.
The National Weather Service has extended the Heat Advisory through at least 7 p.m. Thursday. Temperatures are expected to climb back to 100°F at Dallas-Fort Worth, with heat index values making it feel closer to 110-111°F. The forecast for Thursday includes low chances of rain, as a cold front moving south from Oklahoma overnight could potentially produce isolated showers and storms.

Unfortunately, the heat is expected to persist, with the advisory likely continuing into the weekend. High-pressure systems setting up over the region into early next week will drive temperatures higher, with triple digits expected to dominate through next week. Some relief might come in the form of gulf moisture, which could slightly lower temperatures in the latter part of the week.
