Heat and lots of sunshine persists in North Texas
If temperatures hit 97 degrees today, that will only be the second time this year it has been so hot. "Feels-like" temperatures will once again reach into the 100s.
Next week will only get hotter as high pressure dominates the weather.
As of this writing, temperatures could reach up to 99 degrees, but it is very possible that the first 100-degree day of the year will arrive next week.
There's a disturbance in the Gulf that is still very disorganized, so it won't strengthen into named storm Dexter before it heads into Louisiana today.
Heavy rain and flooding are still a threat to the north-central Gulf coast. DFW won't get rain from the disturbance, but a few more clouds will move into the area.
An isolated storm is possible in the southeast counties Friday and Saturday afternoons.

3 people are still missing from deadly July 4 floods in Texas county, down from nearly 100
KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Officials in a Texas hill country community pummeled by deadly flooding July 4 said Saturday that just three people remain missing, down from nearly 100, after people who had previously been reported missing have since been accounted for. The reduction in the number of people on the missing list came as the search for victims entered its third week. It was a significant drop from the more than 160 people officials previously said were unaccounted for in Kerr County alone. 'This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time,' Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice in a statement. The death toll in Kerr County, 107, held steady for much of this week even as the intensive search continued. The Flash floods killed at least 135 people in Texas over the holiday weekend, with most deaths along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of San Antonio. Just before daybreak on July 4, the destructive, fast-moving waters rose 26 feet (8 meters) on the Guadalupe, washing away homes and vehicles. The floods laid waste to the Hill Country, a popular tourist destination where campers seek out spots along the river amid the rolling landscape. It is naturally prone to flash flooding because its dry, dirt-packed soil cannot soak up heavy rain. Vacation cabins, youth camps campgrounds fill the riverbanks and hills of Kerr County, including Camp Mystic, a century-old Christian summer camp for girls. Located in a low-lying area of a region known as 'flash flood alley,' Camp Mystic lost at least 27 campers and counselors. The flooding was far more severe than the 100-year event envisioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, experts said, and it moved so quickly in the middle of the night that it caught many off guard in a county that lacked a warning system. In Kerrville, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Austin, local officials have come under scrutiny over whether residents were adequately warned about the rising waters. President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have pushed back aggressively against questions about how well local authorities responded to forecasts of heavy rain and the first reports of flash flooding. Crews have been searching for victims using helicopters, boats and drones. Earlier efforts were hampered by rain forecasts, leading some crews to hold off or stop because of worries about more flooding.

Number of missing from devastating Kerr County flash floods drops to just 3
Texas officials now say that just three people remain missing in the devastating floods that struck the state's Kerr County, killing at least 135 people. The new total of those still missing in the county from the shocking July 4 weekend flooding was revised down from 97 people on Saturday. 'Through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from the list,' the City of Kerrville said in a statement. The massive loss of life took place when the deadly floods took place in Texas Hill Country, with most of the deaths taking place along the Guadalupe River, around 60 miles north of San Antonio. The torrential rain saw the river swell from 3ft to 30ft in just 45 minutes, with many cabins in the area swept away.
