Worth knowing today

Dallas should top out at 92 this afternoon, nearly 11 degrees above the 81.2 average for the date, with the Air Quality Alert holding until 5:45 this evening. The record of 96.1 from 2017 stays out of reach (records since 1948).
heat · air quality
Thursday's 90 ran hot against every call made days ahead: Monday's runs centered near 83, and the gauge finished at the 95th percentile of them. Today's 92 is up 4 from yesterday's call of 88 to match that pattern.
receipt · revision
Nights stay comfortable this weekend, around 66 tonight under clear skies, before southerly winds push Monday night's low up to 75.
nights · weekend
Next Thursday splits wide, anywhere from 68 to 92 with the middle near 86. It all depends on how quickly a trough digging into the Desert Southwest shoves the ridge aside and lets showers spread east.
