Dallas weather: August 18 Morning Forecast
FOX 4’s Kylie Capps takes a look at the heat this morning and the potential for more records to fall later this week.
Thursday was the hottest day of the year and broke a record, but today things will be even hotter!
Even though temperatures are supposed to reach 110 degrees today, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it reached 111.
Our record for August 18 is 112 degrees, which was set in 1909.
We have only seen temperatures reach 110 degrees once in the last 23 years. That was in 2011.
An Excessive Heat Warning for North Texas was extended through Sunday evening, and it will likely be extended through Monday evening.
Though we may fall short of a record on Friday, we are expected to shatter the records on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
