North Texas has been grappling with an intense heatwave, experiencing some of the hottest conditions of the year. Temperatures soared to 97 degrees Fahrenheit, with high humidity pushing the heat index close to triple-digit figures, creating oppressive conditions that offered little relief even into the evening. Forecasters have indicated a continuation of these sweltering temperatures, which are expected to persist through Friday.

The weekend outlook shows no significant reprieve from the heat. Saturday brought clear skies and typical summer conditions to the region, maintaining the high temperatures. Sunday is projected to be much the same, characterized by sunny, humid, and dry weather, with temperatures anticipated to remain in the upper 90s. Despite earlier mentions of a slight possibility of rain on Sunday, subsequent updates have confirmed clear, sunny, and dry conditions with no rainfall expected, aligning with characteristic summer weather patterns.
