Sunny Skies Give Way To Dangerous Afternoon Heat
Light north or northeast winds will accompany temperatures as they rise through the day. The hottest stretch arrives during the afternoon, when outdoor errands, exercise and yardwork will feel more taxing despite the breeze. Anyone spending time outside should take breaks, drink water and avoid the peak heat when possible.
Ozone Pollution Guidance for Dallas-Fort Worth
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality recommends reducing activities that contribute to ozone pollution, including unnecessary driving and idling. Carpooling can also help limit emissions.
Heat Hangs On Through The Workweek
The National Weather Service Fort Worth office forecasts another high near 97 degrees Wednesday. The workweek will remain hot, followed by a partly sunny Friday near 95. Overnight lows will finally ease into the low to mid-70s.
