Dallas weather: July 29 morning forecast
Our triple digit stretch continues through the rest of the week! Hottest temperatures are expected Friday ahead of our weak cold front. There is a low storm chance beginning Friday evening near the Red River, which heads south by Saturday morning with the front.
DALLAS - Extreme summer heat continues to grip North Texas this week, with temperatures expected to peak near record highs on Friday before a brief cold front brings a mild reprieve over the weekend.
Triple-digit heat continues
Wednesday marks the third consecutive day of triple-digit temperatures across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with highs reaching 101 degrees and heat index values climbing as high as 108 degrees. A heat advisory remains in effect for much of the region as a persistent high-pressure ridge sits over the state.
Temperatures are forecast to climb further over the next two days, reaching 102 to 103 degrees Thursday and topping out at 105 degrees Friday — just one degree shy of the record for that date — aided by westerly winds.
A weak cold front moving south from the Red River late Friday into Saturday morning will bring a slim 10% chance of showers along with cooler air.
While Saturday will remain warm with highs ranging from the mid-90s to near 100 degrees, the primary relief arrives Sunday morning. Lower humidity and morning temperatures in the 70s will offer a roughly 36-hour window of cooler conditions, with Sunday afternoon highs near the seasonal normal of 97 degrees.
The break will be short-lived, however. High temperatures are expected to climb back into the upper 90s on Monday, with triple-digit heat returning by Tuesday.
