Cozy Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day weekend will feel A LOT like summer. Highs will be in the 90s with a heat index in the 100s on Saturday. Temperatures will be nearly five degrees warmer than normal. Although most remain dry, there is a risk of thunderstorms this afternoon. Sunday’s storms will be even rarer and will likely stay to the northeast. Have a way to receive warnings!
Did you see Sunday? Actual temperatures are closer to triple digits. A front will arrive late Sunday into Monday. This will help drop temperatures into the 90s with slightly lower humidity.
Sunday storms
The severe weather threat is much lower Sunday for North Texas. Storm coverage will also be low. Most won’t see storms.
If storms develop, hail up to quarter size will be the main concern in northeastern North Texas.
Three digits what?
Yes, the heat index could reach 100 this afternoon. High humidity will be a big factor in making it uncomfortable outside. The actual temperature climbs into the 90s on Sunday, with the heat index remaining near 102 through the afternoon.
A cold front arrives in time to lower humidity for Memorial Day Monday. Maximum temperatures will still be warmer than normal, but at least the heat index will stay out of 100.
