High temperatures have been predicted for North Texas until next week, with a heat advisory in effect till Wednesday night.

The forecast for September 6 will see near-record highs of 103 degrees, with feels-like temperatures ranging between 105 and 110 degrees.

Amid these sizzling conditions, experts recommend staying hydrated and taking periodic breaks if conducting activities outdoors.

With nearly consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures since June, many North Texas residents are well aware of heat safety measures by now.

Nonetheless, the smothering weather conditions have caused increased heat-related hospitalizations, deaths, and infrastructure issues, as previously reported in The Dallas Express.

While the outlook for Wednesday is predominantly sunny and dry across the region, there is a slight chance of showers and storms, particularly near the Red River. Lows will hover near the 80s, with Thursday and Friday expected to be more days of high heat.

In fact, if the work week comes to a close with the forecasted highs of 106 and 107 degrees on Thursday and Friday, respectively, past records might be broken.

The hottest temperature registered for September 7 was 104 degrees in 2012, and for September 8, it was 100 degrees in 1998.

Yet things will take a much-anticipated turn on Saturday, with a weak cold front expected to come in, which will knock temperatures down into the upper 90s.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth even referred to this shift as possibly indicating that “early fall is on the horizon.”

With these cooling temperatures, projected to last into next week, will come some chances for rain.

They will remain very slight until Monday afternoon and evening when the higher chance of rainy weather might see North Texas literally drenched in some much-needed relief.

Yet until things cool down and maybe even dampen up, counties across North Texas continue to have burn bans in place and elevated fire risks remain.

As indicated by the NWS in Fort Worth, the wildfire risk will be highest along and west of I-35.

High temperatures, low humidity, and wind spell the likelihood of any unintended blaze spreading quickly; thus, caution is advised.
