Pattern change to bring the heat

By News 9 Meteorologist Nick Bender

Showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible through Sunday morning across the southern half of the state. Storms will begin to gradually diminish early this afternoon, though a stray storm or two may redevelop near the Red River Valley before dusk.

High pressure building eastward into the Central and Southern Plains will assure a sunny, hot and humid work week, with little or no chance for rain. Daytime highs are expected to climb into the middle 90s and lower 100s Tuesday through Friday.
