Recognize the Heat Related Illness Symptoms

Summer heat continues with highs near or slightly above normal across North and Central Texas. A very weak disturbance may bring a stray shower or thunderstorm Friday afternoon/evening, but the vast majority of us will continue to remain dry. Stay cool at there!

High pressure across the region will continue to promote hot and sunny weather with temperatures in the upper-90s and lower-100s each afternoon the next couple of days.

We're looking at above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall conditions to continue through the second week of August. Extended models are highlighting that we stay in this fairly dry weather pattern with only some occasional rounds of isolated to scattered rain/storms.

With the triple digit heat returning to the region, don't forget to recognize the heat related illness symptoms. Here are some of the signs you need to look for when spending a prolonged time outdoors without taking the necessary precautions. Stay cool!
