Sunday is expected to be the hottest day of the year and Monday could be even hotter.
Luckily, there is a dip in sight!Sunday and Monday will be sunny with excessive heat warnings expected to stay in effect.The high pressure to our west will continue to dominate and dry the ground and the air. The drier air and increased sunshine will push temperatures to 105 or higher on Sunday and Monday. Our previous high for the year was 103.Slightly lower dewpoints will add to the heat index, but it shouldn't be any worse than in previous days.
Our high pressure retreats back into New Mexico starting Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing an unseasonably strong jet stream in the eastern US to push a front westward through Texas. It's called a "back door" front because it moves from east to west, whereas most fronts normally move from west to east.That front will bring 90s to areas east of Dallas on Tuesday as easterly winds develop. Unfortunately, areas from Fort Worth to the west won't get the front until late in the day.
