Heat Safety

Temperatures near 110-112 degrees across the South Plains will potentially break old records and will require considerable caution if outdoors. Excessive heat warnings are for when temperatures are forecast to be at or above 110 degrees for much of the afternoon, an rare occurrence across the area.

Another day of very hot temperatures expected with near record readings in some spots. A Heat Advisory is in effect for the southern Texas Panhandle and the Rolling Plains.

High temperatures could match or break records across the region this afternoon once again. Isolated thunderstorms could move into the western South Plains but little cooling or rainfall is expected.

Another mild night is expected tonight heading into Wednesday morning.

Excessive heat is expected to continue for the next several days. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and stroke. Take frequent breaks if working outside and drink plenty of fluids. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun if possible.

Local Weather History For July 14th...

1961: One farm home, two vehicles and several outbuildings were heavily damaged by a tornado late this evening near
Parnell in Hall County. The tornado bounced along the ground for about five miles. Several other storms late this evening
and early night produced damaging hail that in some cases wiped out thousands of acres of crops throughout Hall, Floyd,
Swisher, Hale, and Hockley Counties.
