The National Weather Service has put North and East Texas under the first Heat Advisory of the season, effective noon to 9 pm today, as temperatures flirt with 97–102°F and humidity drives the heat index as high as 107°F.
Expect the mercury to climb even higher tomorrow before a front brings us a return to typical late‑July warmth and scattered weekend storms.
💧 HOW TO BEAT THIS HEAT
Here’s your AT‑HOME survival guide:
Hydrate early & often: Drink water even if you're not thirsty—heat illnesses don’t wait for cues.
Time outdoor activity smarter: Stay indoors during peak sun - schedule chores or workouts early or late.
Dress for survival: Think loose, light, breathable clothing and wide‑brimmed hats; light colors reflect, dark absorb.
Know the signs: Heat cramps, exhaustion, and stroke can creep up quickly - dizziness, nausea, confusion are warning signs - cool off, hydrate, and call 911 if needed.
Look out for others: Check on folks who might struggle to cool off - kids, seniors, pets - especially in cars or heat‑trapped indoor spaces.
🌩️ WHAT’S NEXT?
A weak tropical feature could spark isolated storms Friday into the weekend, offering relief in some spots.
But don’t get too comfy - the heat ridge returns, keeping temps in the upper 90s to low 100s into early next week.
BOTTOM LINE
This is dangerous heat, not just uncomfortable. Stay cool, stay safe, and make smart choices. And remember: drink water, avoid midday sun, and check on neighbors.
