Today - Hot and Hazy

Heat Wave

Heat Safety

Another hot day is in store for North and Central Texas with temperatures in the upper 90s to around 101. Today will also become increasingly hazy as dust that originated in the Sahara Desert of Africa returns to the region. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible near the Red River this afternoon. Gusty winds may accompany any storms that do develop.
