Weather warning issued for dangerous heat conditions in North Texas this week

NORTH TEXAS — By the middle of the week, high pressure will keep the region warmer. As humidity increases, the heat index values ​​will also rise.

A weather warning has been issued for Monday and Tuesday due to dangerous heat.

A heat advisory goes into effect Monday at noon and will remain in effect until 7 p.m. Tuesday. This applies to the metroplex counties, but not all of North Texas. Feels like temperatures could reach 105 degrees. Precautions must be taken against the heat. Take breaks in the shade, drink plenty of water, and wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.

Mornings are also getting warmer in North Texas, offering little relief from the oppressive heat.

On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings we wake up with temperatures still between 30 and 40 degrees.

While isolated showers are possible on Wednesday, especially in East Texas, it will remain dry and very hot in much of the region.

Continue to take heat safety precautions this week due to the risk of heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
