Heat Advisory for 4th of July

One last day where almost all of North Texas will be under a Heat Advisory today (July 4th). Highs will be at or around 100° and heat index values will be at or above 105° during the afternoon.

We'll also stay dry for any 4th of July plans or fireworks festivities during the evening.

There is a small chance for some showers along the Red River after 8pm, but most stay dry. 

If you have outdoor plans, make sure to have a way to stay cool and stay hydrated!

Relief and rain chances!

A weak cold front will move south into North Texas on Friday. As of now, this looks to bring scattered rain Friday, Saturday, and into Sunday with highest coverage Friday into Saturday morning. A few spots along the Red River may even see rain as early as Thursday evening, but most stay dry. 

The severe threat looks low at this point and rain is not guaranteed for everyone. Regardless, the increased cloud cover and rain around the area will provide a respite from the triple digits.

Our pattern looks to stay active into next week with rain chances continuing and temps staying below 100°.
