A heat advisory goes into effect at noon Monday and remains in effect until 7 p.m. Tuesday. This includes the metroplex counties but not all of North Texas.  Feels like temperatures could reach as high as 107°. Heat precautions need to be in place. Take breaks in the shade, drink plenty of water, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing.

The mornings in North Texas are also getting warmer and not providing much relief from the stifling heat.

By Tuesday and Wednesday morning, we wake up still feeling like the mid to upper 80s.
