North Texas under excessive heat warning until Saturday night

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The National Weather Service of Fort Worth has issued an excessive heat warning for North Texas until 9 p.m. Saturday. This includes north central, northeast and south central Texas.

There will be dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 105 degrees and heat index values up to 110 degrees and higher this weekend.

The high on Saturday is forecasted to be 105 degrees and the high on Sunday is forecasted to be 102. The minor cold front coming through North Texas on Saturday drops the humidity, meaning heat index values won't be so high.

With extreme heat, the National Weather Service said heat and humidity will significantly increase potential for heat-related illnesses, especially when working or participating in outdoor activities.
