...RECORD HEAT TO CONTINUE TODAY...

AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER
WEST TEXAS WILL BRING RECORD HEAT TO NORTH TEXAS AGAIN TODAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES
ACROSS TEXAS...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING 105 DEGREES.  THESE
FORECASTED TEMPERATURES SHOULD BREAK THE DAILY RECORDS FOR BOTH
DALLAS FORT WORTH AND WACO.

BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE OF HOT WEATHER THIS YEAR...
RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REDUCE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES...DRINK LOTS OF
WATER OR OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES...WEAR LIGHT COLORED/LIGHT
WEIGHT CLOTHING...AND IF POSSIBLE SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR CONDITIONED
OR WELL VENTILATED AREAS.

REMEMBER THAT CHILDREN...THE ELDERLY...AND PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC
AILMENTS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT
EXHAUSTION...CRAMPS...OR IN EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE CONDITIONS.  FRIENDS...RELATIVES...OR
NEIGHBORS SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON PEOPLE WHO MAY BE AT RISK SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SLIGHTLY INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S ON
MONDAY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WEAKENS.
