After a week of slow-moving, isolated thunderstorms dumping rain on the region,<\/a> Dallas’ forecast<\/a> has finally cleared.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the foreseeable forecast period, the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office is predicting temperatures in North Texas will climb as rain chances disappear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saturday’s high is predicted to be 96 degrees, according to the weather service, with a low of 76. The heat index<\/a>, or “feels like” temperature, could hit 101.<\/p>\n

Lingering cloud coverage from the storm system is expected to prevent temperatures from becoming extreme over the weekend, according to the weather service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moderate humidity and a slight breeze with wind gusts up to 18 miles per hour\u00a0will accompany Saturday’s warmer weather and continue through the rest of the forecast period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sunday, temperatures are expected to climb to 98 degrees, with a heat index of 104.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Triple-digit heat is expected to return to the region as soon as Monday, according to the weather service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, work week temperatures could rise enough to warrant a heat advisory<\/a> with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday’s heat indexes are all currently predicted to exceed 105.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In extreme heat, the CDC recommends<\/a> drinking water, seeking shade when possible, applying sunscreen, wearing a hat and knowing the symptoms of dehydration and heat exhaustion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
