Heads up: New bridge work at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport will impact traffic for 90 days
Travelers flying through Dallas Fort Worth International Airport between now and October should expect detours, delays and the need to plan ahead due to a major construction project underway on airport roads. This week marks the start of phase one of the International Parkway Project, which includes three phases in total, each lasting 90 days. The first phase focuses on building a new bridge into Terminal B. The new bridge is being constructed before the old one is demolished. Airport officials say the method being used cuts down on build time by about 30% compared to traditional construction. Still, for travelers, that means disruptions. DFW Airport is urging domestic flyers to arrive at least two hours early and international passengers to arrive at least three hours early. For the next 90 days, detours will impact three key routes: "We want to make sure any disruption is kept to the bare minimum," said Mohammed Charkas with DFW Airport Infrastructure & Development. The airport plans to complete most of the bridge work by 2026, just in time for DFW to host World Cup events. "We want to make sure that our guests who are arriving here at DFW for those games have a pleasant journey," Charkas said. Also starting Aug. 6, a portion of the South Service Road will be closed for 52 hours as crews begin demolishing part of the old bridge. Officials say plenty of signage will be in place during demolition and throughout the 90-day construction period.

Heat continues to build across Dallas-Fort Worth with plenty of sunshine
Tuesday had a much quieter start with no storms, just a few high clouds and temperatures in the 70s. Yesterday morning, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport experienced its strongest wind gust on record when a microburst produced an 89 mph wind gust. No significant rain chances are in the forecast for the next several days as high pressure strengthens and shifts back into the area. Today begins a warming trend with highs in the mid-90s, which are still below average for this time of year. Light winds, sunny skies and hot temperatures are all a recipe for another air quality alert today. It will be unhealthy outside for sensitive groups; those with asthma and upper respiratory issues should minimize their time outdoors. As temperatures climb back to near 100 degrees this week, so do "feels-like" temperatures. Heat advisories are likely Thursday into Friday as heat index values climb to 107 degrees.

Hot seasonable week on tap for North Texas with temperatures expected in the 100s
Another hot yet seasonable July day is on tap. Expect partly cloudy skies with the high temperature reaching the mid-90s and winds from the south gusting up to 20 mph. There is still a moderate amount of moisture in the atmosphere, causing the feel-like temperatures to climb into the triple-digits. However, the dew points will be lower than Saturday, so heat index values won't reach the heat advisory criteria. Daytime heating will allow for a few pop-up showers during the late afternoon and evening. The potential for a 10 to 20% chance of rain will encompass cities to the south of I-20 and east of I-35. Most of North Texas will be dry. Monday, the heat dome begins to build across the Central United States. A ridge of high pressure will gradually dominate the weather pattern this next week. Compressional heating from the sinking, dry air will clear the skies and increase temperatures. It has been 338 days since DFW Airport recorded a triple-digit day. The streak looks to end this week. By next weekend, the ridge weakens, bringing temperatures down a few degrees and increasing the rain chances.

Heat advisory again Saturday, feels-like temps as high as 108°, isolated storm chances Saturday
Friday marked our hottest day of the year so far, with a high temperature of 99° at DFW Airport. Parts of North Texas reached triple-digit temperatures, though, including Fort Worth. Feels-like temperatures were even hotter, ranging from 100 ° to 107° across North Texas. We will see the return of our heat advisory again Saturday afternoon, even as air temperatures drop back into the middle 90s. It will be a very humid weekend in North Texas, so even with the drop in temperatures, our heat indices will still be as high as 108°, which puts us back into heat advisory criteria. Dew points will rise by as much as 10° this weekend, thanks to a plume of tropical moisture coming in from the Gulf. This moisture will bring additional cloud coverage, as well as isolated storm chances Saturday afternoon. Better chances will be along and east of I-35. That rise in dew points will give us a very muggy feel all weekend, keeping those feels-like temps well into the triple digits. As we head into next week, sunshine is back in full force; fortunately, dew points start to drop, but temperatures remain in the upper 90s to near-100 as a ridge of high pressure settles in over the Southern Plains. Stay hydrated, and limit outdoor time for you, your kids, and your pets. Stay cool!
