Hot and humid weather forecast for Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday morning started off cloudy with sunshine returning by late morning. Afternoon highs will reach the low 90s with a ton of humidity. There's a very slight chance of a late-day storm northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Slightly drier air will sneak into the area on Sunday and that will allow temperatures to heat up to the mid to upper 90s. Ninety-nine degrees is the record high for the day.

Memorial Day looks decent with a cold front arriving before the end of the day. It looks like any storm chances will be south of DFW, but that is subject to change depending on the speed of the front. Afternoon highs will reach the low to mid-90s ahead of the front.

Tuesday looks nice with slightly drier air in place — plenty of sunshine with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Storm chances return Wednesday and Thursday, mainly during the late night and early morning hours. Storms will form during the late afternoon and hours across eastern Colorado and western Kansas and move into North Texas overnight. Afternoon highs both days will be in the upper 80s.
