North Texas gets a break from the triple digit heat
NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) – We're tracking highs in the 90s for much of the work week, but don't get used to it. The triple digit heat returns for your holiday weekend.
As we move through Monday, high temperatures will climb into the mid 90s, courtesy of a cold front that pushed through North Texas yesterday.
It will still feel a little muggy at times through at least the early afternoon. Then, by this evening, you'll notice the drier air pushing in.
We'll see mostly sunny skies today and mostly clear skies tonight. Overnight lows will be in the mid 70s.
For Tuesday, expect a hot day, but it won't feel as hot thanks for lower humidity. High temperatures will be in the mid 90s. We'll see mostly sunny skies.
On Wednesday and Thursday, highs will be in the upper 90s with more sunshine.
By Friday through your Labor Day holiday weekend, get ready for the triple digit heat again!
Highs will be in the low 100s from Friday through Monday. And so far, your holiday weekend is looking sunny.
We're also keeping an eye on the tropics with Hurricane Franklin and tropical storm Idalia.
Franklin will continue to strengthen, staying well offshore of the U.S. east coast.
Florida now has tropical storm warnings and hurricane warnings along the Gulf Coast in anticipation of Idalia. It is currently still a tropical storm with winds at 65 mph. It could become a major hurricane–Category 3–just before landfall near the Big Bend area.
Widespread 4"-10" rainfall totals are possible from Fort Myers to near Tallahassee. Life threatening storm surge of 7'-11' is possible in the Big Bend area and 4'-7' is possible in the Tampa Bay area.
Both storms will not pose a threat to Texas.
