File / eExtra News

Hot weather is in store this week as summer tries to maintain a strong hold on the region, thanks to the presence of a strong high pressure ridge aloft. Temperatures will be near 10 degrees above normal, especially during the middle part of the week when the hottest conditions are expected. DFW will be close to its record of 99 on Wednesday, while Waco may also get close to its record of 100 on Thursday. It does look like temperatures will return to more seasonable values about a week from now as a cold front pushes through the region. There may be a few showers and isolated storms with the front, but widespread precipitation appears unlikely at this time.
