Rain chance this weekend in North Texas may be spotty

The heat advisory has been extended through Wednesday evening for most of North Texas. Wednesday and Thursday will remain dry and hot with highs of 100 to 102.

A weak frontal boundary will provide the area with a 20% chance of thunderstorms Friday and Saturday, but any storms will be spotty in coverage. As far as any heat relief with the front, that hope appears to be fading. High temperatures may dip briefly below 100 degrees Saturday, but next week will be hotter with highs of 101 to 104.

HEAT SAFETY TIPS

With heat like this, you’ll want to take precautions and be prepared.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors to make sure they are staying cool.

Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. According to the National Safety Council, if it’s 95 degrees outside the internal temperature of a car could climb to 129 degrees in 30 minutes. After just 10 minutes, temperatures inside could reach 114 degrees.

A child’s body temperature heats up three to five times faster than an adult and heatstroke can begin when a person’s core body temperature reaches 104 degrees. A core temperature of 107 degrees is lethal, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
