There is a heat advisory until 7 p.m. on Monday, but the high temperatures will continue to hang around despite the chance of rain.
There is a less than 20% chance of isolated showers on Monday evening and into Tuesday. Any rainfall is not expected to cool the area down since highs will be in the low 100s and heat index values up to 105, according to the NWS.
A slight break from the summer heat will happen on Wednesday when temperatures dip into the high 90s, but it's back up to the three digit temperatures on Thursday to Saturday.
North Texas residents are being advised to limit their time outside and to drink plenty of water this week to stay cool. Branches of the Dallas Public Library and Dallas Parks and Recreation facilities will be open during regular business hours to give people a place to cool down, according to NBC DFW.
