A Heat Advisory will be in effect this afternoon for all of North and Central Texas. Heat index values will climb between 105 and 110 degrees, creating dangerous conditions for anyone spending extended time outdoors. Stay hydrated, wear lightweight and loose‑fitting clothing, and keep strenuous activities limited to the early morning or evening hours.

Storm chances will begin to increase late in the day as a cold front approaches the region. Strong, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours will all be possible from late Thursday into Friday.

A few lingering showers or storms may hang around on Saturday, but the heat won’t let up. The hottest stretch arrives Sunday and Monday, with highs pushing into the mid to upper 90s and heat index values again reaching 105 to 110 degrees.

After mainly dry conditions on Sunday, isolated to scattered storms may return Monday and Tuesday, mainly for areas north of I‑20.
