On a more serious note, the type of pattern for this coming weekend could result in southwest-moving thunderstorms across east/southeast TX. Such storms often become severe with large hail and strong winds. Tornadoes are rare, though. Saturday afternoon/evening looks like a prime time for such storms. Sunday, too, perhaps.
GFS doesn't indicate any cool temps, except that it isn't forecasting any 95F+ temps through 10 days.

Found it - it was a tweet from a guy named Anthony Sagliani. Check out the 8am observation. Oh, and the 3 mile visibility in blowing dust was the icing on the cake:

That is dangerous heat! Not for me for sure.

Re: Texas Summer-2015
Fortunately, my body can tolerate high temperatures only in the low 90s quite well. And I think that with proper training my body should be able to withstand a morning low in the low 70s here this weekend.
The front may drop morning lows into the upper 60s in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area - briefly. Back to the mid 90s early next week with lows in the mid 70s.

Hey wxman57 I hear Seattle and Portland is lovely this time of year
From a Joe Bastardi tweet
In fact a large swath of the Pacific Northwest is under excessive heat watches, 100s for them is not common.

I have never heard of such heat!! At first I thought that was a fluke or misprint. Dewpoint of 91?? May as well go into a sauna.

I'm having trouble acclimating this year; maybe it's being 44 now. Even with proper hydration, I'm struggling to get 3.5-4 miles out of my running. I'm going to try and switch to mornings and see if that helps. And add more biking.

That is what I have done. Ease back on the pace. It will come. Trust me. Add the biking. That will help.

Re: Texas Summer-2015
This summer will be longer than most. I'm looking forward to that extra time next week:

If I'm not mistaken I don't think we have hit 100F so far this Spring/Summer.........Saturday forecast high calls for 99F so we shall see!

Bob Rose has an interesting video blog about LCRA teaming up with NASA to track soil moisture beneath the surface.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Hard to see from the road across the dam, but if you look closely, you can just see the top of it and the disturbance on the water's surface.
It's kind of funny to me how much national exposure it's gotten over the last day or two. As indicated, it's currently happening, it happened it a couple of weeks ago, it happened back in 2007 and it happened back in 1990. And I would suppose that it happened back in 1957 too.
When they (Corps) throw the floodgates at Denison Dam wide open (and that's happened several times when the spillway wasn't overtopped), there's a LOT of water being sucked down through them and that's what causes it.

Re: Texas Summer-2015
I had a loud thunderstorm last night that seemed to last forever... numerous building shaking booms(I was at work), and the power even flickered once... then it just kept lightly raining once the noise ended... I just moved and almost didn't put the rain gauge out for this(given the forecast wasn't sure it'd rain), but I'm glad I did... an inch and a half of rain!
and yes those 60s sound spectacular.

Re: Texas Summer-2015
It dumped down here on the southside, last check of the rain gauge had 0.40 and it was still raining hard. Haven't checked yet but I'd say it's probably closer to 3 quarters of an inch now. Currently not raining but it's just to the south and east of here.

in other news, Boise Idaho hit 110 today. Many areas in eastern Washington and western Idaho were 110+! Oh how lucky we are, that ridge could easily be sitting over us not this year!
No heat wave is in the foreseeable (2 weeks) future in Texas. Mostly run of the mill average hot, low to mid 90s. Couple of isolated 100 readings, today is in the far NW panhandle, but nothing widespread. DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Texarkana going June with no 100s!
