Juneteenth in North Texas starts with thick humidity and temperatures already pushing into the upper 70s.
Thursday won’t hold back. Highs will surge into the mid-90s, but it won’t feel that low. The heat index will drive “feels-like” temps past 100—oppressive, unavoidable.
Anyone attending Juneteenth events should hydrate relentlessly. This heat punishes the unprepared.
There’s a slim chance of a stray shower today, but don’t count on it. Most will see the sun, wide, blazing, and unfiltered.
High pressure will tighten its grip by Friday. That means hotter air, brighter skies, and no room for relief. Expect another notch or two added to the thermostat.
Mornings are expected to be muggy, while the afternoon may be roasting.
Friday also marks the summer solstice. The year’s longest day arrives, and it’s coming in blazing.
