Heat Wave Hits Dallas: Triple-Digit Temperatures Expected This Week
DALLAS – An early Texas heat wave is set to sweep across the region this week, with predictions for triple-digit temperatures by midweek and potential record highs likely to be shattered by Wednesday.
Monday Forecast
As we kick off the week, Dallas residents can expect a warm and dry day. Clouds and cooler air will dissipate, making way for sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s. Light winds will accompany the pleasant weather, providing a brief respite before the heat intensifies.
Tuesday Forecast
Tuesday is anticipated to start mild, but upper-level winds are expected to raise temperatures swiftly. Highs may reach the 90s, closing in on the record of 95 degrees for May 13. Whether the record is tied or broken depends largely on cloud cover throughout the day.
Wednesday Forecast
By Wednesday, temperatures in regions west of Fort Worth are projected to surpass 100 degrees. Much of the Dallas-Fort Worth area will also experience sweltering highs in the upper 90s. If the skies clear as forecasted, this day could mark the first triple-digit day of 2025 for the region, with the record high for May 14 being 95 degrees.
Looking Ahead: 7-Day Forecast
On Thursday, residents should expect a continuation of the heat with highs remaining in the 90s, albeit with increased cloud cover and humidity. A slight chance for severe storms emerges on Friday, particularly in northern areas, with potential threats including wind and hail damage. As the weekend approaches, temperatures are expected to normalize to the muggy warmth typical for May.
