Official National Weather Service guidance points to a high near 101°F in Dallas on August 8 under sunny skies and light south winds, aligning with the market’s heaviest volume on the 98–101°F bins. Persistent high pressure and dry air mass across North Texas have produced a multi-day stretch of 98–102°F readings, consistent with climatological norms for early August when daytime maxima average 96–99°F. Short-range model consensus shows limited spread, with only modest afternoon mixing or slight boundary-layer moisture potentially trimming or adding a degree or two. Traders appear to be weighting the official forecast and recent observed temperatures while discounting outliers above 103°F given the stable steering pattern and absence of frontal passages before resolution.
