• •Hot and dry conditions are expected today and Friday with heat
• •Rain and storm chances return to the region late Saturday

A weak upper level disturbance that had been hanging out across the Ozarks and extending back into northeast Texas has finally pulled away from the region allowing mid level ridging to build back into North Texas. This will result in hot and rain free conditions today and again on Friday with highs at or just above 100 degrees and heat index values near 105 degrees. Deep boundary layer mixing and slightly higher wind speeds will allow dewpoints to fall into the mid 60s during peak heating which should keep heat index values at or just above the ambient air temperature. The only exception to this may be across our northeast counties where recent rainfall has allowed dewpoints to remain slightly elevated. Heat index values may briefly top 105 degrees here this afternoon. Otherwise, no significant weather is expected through tonight with southerly winds remaining breezy through the overnight hours into early Friday.
