First Alert Weather: North Texas Heat Advisory extended through Wednesday night
NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) – Get ready for more triple-digit heat!
A Heat Advisory is in effect for parts of North Texas, including the DFW Metroplex, until 9 p.m. Wednesday. High temperatures will be between 103 and 107 degrees.
Remember to take breaks while outdoors, drink plenty of water and look before you lock your car so that you're not leaving your kids and/or pets behind in this dangerous heat.
We'll see plenty of sunshine in the forecast Tuesday but no rain, meaning our Elevated Fire Threat will continue, especially for areas along and west of I-35.
The combination of low relative humidity values, gusty winds and hot temperatures could help grass fires spread quickly. Please avoid outdoor burning.
Tuesday is also an Ozone Action Day for sensitive groups. Those who have asthma or other breathing problems should limit time outdoors, and we should all try to carpool if possible.
On Wednesday, even more heat is on the way. Highs will be around 102 by the afternoon, with feels-like temperatures of 104.
As we head into Thursday and the weekend, we'll have more dry weather which will keep our Elevated Fire Threat into early next week. High temperatures will be in the triple digits from Thursday through next Monday.
Stay weather aware today and every day by visiting our weather page or watching us live on our 24/7 stream.
