US · Published Jul 20, 2026
North Texas is experiencing mostly dry and sunny weather this Sunday, with only a 10% chance of isolated showers or storms north of I-20 due to a low-pressure system in the Permian Basin (CBS News Texas).
Temperatures are climbing rapidly, reaching the 90s by midday and peaking at 98°F (36.7°C) by 5 p.m.

Impact & Risks

The heat index values ranging from 100°F to 115°F (37.8°C to 46.1°C) could pose health risks, especially for those spending extended periods outdoors. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions, are at higher risk of heat-related illnesses. The dry streak may also increase fire risks in the region, though no specific warnings have been issued yet.
