Hot and humid air dominates North Texas
Dallas is entering summer ahead of schedule. On Thursday, June 19, the Dallas-Fort Worth area is seeing its last full day of spring with temperatures soaring into the upper 90s °F (around 36–37°C), but the heat index—a combination of temperature and humidity—makes it feel like it’s over 100°F (38°C).
Muggy air and mild winds are keeping the atmosphere stagnant, leading to oppressive heat. While actual highs will stay in the low to mid-90s°F (33–35°C), it will feel like 100–101°F (38–39°C) through most of the afternoon.
Despite Wednesday night not bringing any significant storms, today’s weather pattern remains fairly stable. There’s only a 10% chance of isolated evening showers, especially in localized pockets, but no widespread rain is expected.
Summer begins with rising heat
By Friday, as summer officially starts, temperatures are forecast to inch higher. The first days of the season will be marked by intense sunshine, sticky humidity, and consistent breezes—which may prevent the region from experiencing record-breaking national heat, but not from simmering conditions.
Lows overnight will remain warm, hovering in the 70s°F (21–24°C), offering little relief. Daytime highs are expected to stay in the low to mid-90s°F (33–35°C). Meanwhile, the heat index could consistently reach around 100°F (38°C) due to dewpoints stuck in the upper 60s to low 70s°F (20–22°C).
Possible afternoon showers might develop in eastern and southeastern Texas on Sunday, but overall, a stable weather pattern should dominate into early next week, minimizing the risk of severe weather outbreaks.
