A heat dome is forming over the southern United States, which will lead to high temperatures in Texas. This weather phenomenon is characterized by a large area of high pressure in the upper atmosphere that prevents hot air from escaping and cooling fronts from entering. As a result, parts of Texas are expected to experience their first 100-degree day of the year.

The heat dome is building across the region this weekend and will bring triple-digit temperatures to much of the state. Further information about the heat dome and its impact on Texas can be found through local news sources, such as FOX 26 Houston.
