Monday and Tuesday will be hot, with highs in the 90s to 100s. Heat index values will be well above 100 on both days. Take precautions to BEAT THE HEAT! Drink plenty of water, limit time outside until evening, wear light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks in the shade. Last but not least, know the symptoms of heat illness and CALL 911 if you suspect heat stroke! It could save your or someone else’s life!

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect until 8:00 pm Tuesday with heat index values of 110-120 degrees. This heat is dangerous, and you should take precautions. Drink plenty of water, avoid extended time outdoors, and know the signs of heat-related illness!

There is a 20% chance of isolated storms again this afternoon and tonight. Some may be severe. The main threats would be damaging wind gusts and large hail. The best time for thunderstorms is between 2:00 and 4:00 pm across Western Central Texas. Overnight storms are possible across northeast Texas after 3:00 am. Large hail would be the primary concern with this activity.

The heat and humidity continue through most of the week. Slightly cooler temps are forecast for Thursday and Friday but will be short-lived as the intense heat returns next weekend. Make sure to continue to practice heat safety.

With this persisting heat, practice heat safety wherever you are! Know the signs of heat illness, and check on the more vulnerable populations. Drink plenty of water, avoid extended time outdoors during the day’s heat, and look before you lock!
