(CBSDFW.COM) - Looking at the hottest stretch of weather, so far, for 2020 in North Texas, a Heat Advisory is in place through at least Sunday evening.
The advisory includes all of North Texas and a good portion of the state of Texas as a whole.
Forecasted high temperatures will range from 100 to 104 degrees this weekend, with dew points in the 70s. The combination will lead to feels-like temperatures ranging from 105 to 100+ degrees.
While this weather is typical for mid-July in the southern plains, that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous.
