Heat Wave to Hit Texas: What You Need to Know
Introduction to the Heat Wave
By now, you’ve probably heard — a heat wave moving across Texas is expected to peak tomorrow with a high of 101 degrees for Dallas-Fort Worth. The day is expected to start relatively pleasantly, with the high in the low 70s at 7 a.m., according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office. By 11 a.m. the high is expected to have shot up, reaching 90 degrees. The climb from 90 to 100 is expected to be more gradual, with triple digits descending by 3 p.m.
The weather service’s projections show the high tomorrow will peak at 101 degrees at about 5 p.m. Temperatures won’t fall back down significantly until the sun starts to set around 8 p.m.
Heat Wave Comparison
While it’s certainly notable that North Texas is forecast to get its first 100-degree day of the year, and earlier than normal, other parts of Texas are expected to get even hotter tomorrow. San Antonio could hit 106 and the high for Laredo is projected to be 111, according to forecast data.
Much of South and Central Texas are under heat advisories or extreme heat warnings as a result. The risk of heat-related illness is highest in these areas.
