Chance of triple-digit weather drops for Friday in North Texas before steamy weekend
It looks like North Texas will go another week without hitting 100 degrees. While it comes as a pleasant surprise, it may leave some Texans wondering if, or when, the other shoe will drop.

The end of the workweek is likely to just barely miss the triple-digit milestone — the region registered 99 degrees Thursday at multiple locations, and has a high of 99 again in the forecast Friday.
