Record Breaking Heat Returns Big Country: Temps could reach triple digits today, tomorrow
Temperatures across the Big Country are climbing once again, with triple digits possible today and lingering into tomorrow. Without a doubt, most people reading this are no stranger to the heat, but this early-season blast is bringing more than just sweat. It's also bringing health risks and near-record highs.
Forecast highs for much of the region are expected to rise into the upper 90s, with tomorrow being the exception for another triple digit day. Expect the hottest part of the day to take place during those afternoon hours.
There is also a high expectance for us to break records today, with temperatures quickly rising. The record set for today, May 13, was 100 degrees in 2022.
Tomorrow, there is still a chance for records to be beat; however, they are not as likely. The record for May 14 was 105 degrees in 1960.
Currently, no Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat Warnings are in effect for today or tomorrow within our viewing counties. However, it would not be surprising to see this change in the upcoming hours.
As always, stay cool when you can. Be sure to drink plenty of water and know your limits when dealing with extreme heat.
In addition, don't expect much relief from the sky. Rain chances remain slim across the region this weekend, with only a stray afternoon shower or two currently in the forecast.
