| An early-season heat wave is headed our way, with record or near-record high temperatures expected Wednesday through Friday across much of Texas. 🔥 Here’s what to expect: - Today and Thursday, we could see temps soar into the mid to upper 90s, and even low 100s in areas west of the Brazos River.
- Heat index values—what it feels like—will likely range from 100° to 106° through the end of the week. That’s just below the official Heat Advisory threshold of 108°.
- While these numbers may not seem unusual for summer, early-season heat like this—especially following a mild May—can be more dangerous and lead to more heat-related illnesses.
📊 Studies show that early heat waves often catch people off guard. So now’s the time to take precautions: ✅ Limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours (12 PM – 6 PM) ✅ Stay hydrated—drink plenty of water ✅ Wear light, loose-fitting clothing ✅ Take breaks in air conditioning when possible ✅ Never leave children or pets unattended in a car—even for a moment Let’s stay safe and take care of one another during this stretch of extreme heat. Keep an eye on neighbors who may be vulnerable, especially seniors and those with health concerns. |
