... Heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday...
Upper level high pressure will remain anchored over North Texas
this weekend. As a result... high temperatures will range from 99
to 108 degrees Friday through Sunday. With the humidity...
afternoon heat index values will exceed 105 degrees. Peak heat
index values will be near 110 degrees in some locations. The heat
will not abate at night... with overnight lows in the upper 70s to
lower 80s.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during
hot weather when the inside of vehicles can reach lethal
temperatures in a matter of minutes... despite cracking windows or
previously having used air-conditioning.
Persons involved in vigorous outdoor activities are urged to take
frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. Wear loose fitting and
light-colored clothing. Be sure to check on persons with health
problems and the elderly... as they are the most susceptible to
heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
