DALLAS — Intolerable heat to start the week and severe storm chances in the middle. That's a Texas summer for you.
Severe storm risk Update:
Temperatures have cooled a bit since the start of the week, which saw heat indices of more than 110 degrees.
The slightly lower dip in temps comes along with a severe weather risk to our west in the overnight hours. As of now, if storms make it into the area, large hail and strong winds will be the main concern.
Storm damage in southern counties
Areas of Ellis and Navarro counties saw damage after some severe storms Wednesday afternoon.
Heat the rest of the week
We do see the heat easing a tiny bit by the end of the week. The bad news is, it won't last long. This brief dip into the middle 90s will be replaced with upper 90s and maybe even 100-degree heat heading into the weekend.
Please find time to take breaks and drink lots of water if you have to be out in this heat.
Timeline:
A complex of thunderstorms is expected to move into western portions of the area late tonight and overnight. The video below shows the timing. These storms will be out of the area by daybreak.
