Happening now: Limit time outdoors — near-record highs today. An extreme heat warning is in effect from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with heat index values up to 110.
What's next? An extreme heat watch for Tuesday. One might be issued Wednesday. Dangerous heat is expected to hang on through midweek, feeling like 110-115 due to oppressive humidity.
Today's daily digit — 1/10: A dangerous heat and humidity combo making it feel as hot as 110 degrees today deserves one of our lowest grades on the scale. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Monday): Triple digit heat for the first time this year? Highs aim for upper 90s to low 100s. Skies are a bit hazy, but it's overall sunny. Any stray shower or storm would be very brief. Adding in dew points around 70 to 75, it may feel like 105 to 115 degrees to our skin as sweat evaporation can no longer cool us. Minimize outdoor time, avoid strenuous activity, hydrate and use sunblock. Confidence: High
Tonight: Continued toasty with evening 90s only 'cooling' into the upper 70s to low 80s by dawn. With high humidity (dew points 70-plus) it may feel near 90 or above much of the night. Confidence: High
Tomorrow (Tuesday): A heat dome sits overhead, making it feel as hot as 115. Temperatures shoot for 100, plus or minus a few degrees. Oppressive humidity comes from dew points near the mid-70s at times. Only a few clouds and some haze, but otherwise sunshine reigns. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Mainly clear and very warm. Lows only dip into the upper 70s and low 80s. Confidence: Medium-High
A look ahead
Hopefully the last day of oppressive, potentially dangerous heat Wednesday with highs around 100 and humidity making it feel between 105 and 115 degrees. Afternoon clouds may bubble up with thunderstorms slightly possible from midafternoon into the evening hours. Overnight lows again may only fall near 80. Confidence: Medium-High
Less heat and sun come with some afternoon and evening thunderstorms Thursday and Friday. Highs Thursday around 95, and Friday it's nearer 90. Stay tuned as we get closer, since being at the edge of an eroding dome of high pressure can add a few forecast detail question marks, including the chance for organized clusters of severe storms. Confidence: Medium
Average heat and humidity return for the weekend, but a storm is possible during afternoon and evening hours. Highs both days should get to within a few degrees of 90. Overnight lows attempt to get a bit more seasonable, back to a range of 70 to mid-70s. Confidence: Low-Medium

Temperatures across Colorado's Front Range remain cool on Sunday ahead of workweek warmup
Get outside and enjoy the Colorado weather on Sunday. Temperatures will be near normal for the Front Range before Mother Nature cranks up the heat for the workweek. A ridge of high pressure has temperatures climbing near triple-digit heat starting Tuesday. It's not until next Saturday that temperatures cool to the upper 80s and low 90s. There is just enough instability in the atmosphere that the eastern plains could see some severe storms. The metro area and mountains, however, will likely remain dry. While we need rain showers for the drought, it looks like we are going to have to wait a bit for relief.

Dallas weather: Parts of North Texas under a Level 2 slight risk for severe weather
The Brief Afternoon temperatures will reach the low to mid-90s, but the heat index could feel closer to 100 degrees due to high humidity. There is a slight chance of isolated showers and storms west of I-35W and north of I-30 this afternoon. A second round of storms is expected late tonight, primarily west of I-35, with a Level 2 "slight risk" for severe weather due to potential gusty winds. DALLAS - North Texas residents are starting the day under a muggy blanket of air, with temperatures similar to Sunday morning's, hovering in the mid- to upper-70s. Sunday Forecast What we know A few spots in outlying areas and along the Red River are slightly cooler, dipping into the low 70s and even upper 60s in some western and southwestern locations. As the day progresses, afternoon high temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-90s. With dew points remaining in the low 70s, the heat index could climb into the upper 90s, making it feel even hotter outside. A complex of storms is approaching the Wichita Falls area and moving southeast, though we've seen a slight weakening of the system. While severe thunderstorm warnings along the leading edge have expired, isolated showers and storms could still survive the trip to areas west of Interstate 35W and north of Interstate 30. There is a 20 to 30% chance of rain for those areas. North Texas Live Radar What's next Another storm system is expected to arrive late tonight after midnight, primarily impacting areas west of I-35. The National Weather Service has placed part of North Texas under a Level 2 slight risk for severe weather, noting the initial storms could produce gusty winds. The storm activity is expected to be short-lived, with high pressure returning after the weekend. That system will likely bring a return to triple-digit temperatures and dry conditions early next week. 7-Day Forecast The Source Information in this article is from the FOX 4 News Weather Team.
