Severe storm threat increased Thursday, high heat remains a concern amid ongoing Heat Advisory
Shortly before noon most of North Texas was put under an Enhanced Risk while counties along the Red River were put under a Moderate Risk.
Storms could once again produce large hail and damaging winds and a tornado can't be ruled out. The timing would be during the late afternoon through the early part of the night Thursday. At this time we do not expect storm development on Friday, but Saturday does offer another chance with a Marginal and Slight risk for severe storms across North Texas. Storms that do develop would be capable of producing heavy rain and large hail.
A heat advisory is also in effect for parts of the area. The advisory runs through 8 p.m. Friday but it is likely going to be extended into the weekend. The heat index will range from 105-112 for portions of north-central and northeast Texas. Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat in the days to come. In conditions like this heat exhaustion/ heat stroke can happen quickly, especially for those playing or working outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
