Forest Hill, Texas

... Fourth of July heat will be felt across much of North Texas today...

Overnight lows have remained in the lower 80s for all urban
locations within North Texas. Mostly sunny skies are expected to
bring afternoon temperatures at or above the century mark today
while afternoon relative humidity values remain at or above 30
percent. The combination of heat and humidity will bring heat
indices up to 105 degrees during the peak heating hours
today... especially across the metroplex and around Waco. With many
people outdoors enjoying Independence day festivities... the
potential for heat stress to affect many people is greater than on
most Summer days. A cold front is expected to move slowly south
through North Texas overnight bringing some relief from the heat
as temperatures are expected to fall into the middle 70s.

If outdoors this Independence day... remember to drink plenty of
non alcoholic beverages to remain hydrated to avoid the effects of
heat stress. When possible take a break from the heat and get out
of the sun. The effects of heat stress are felt much faster by
children and by the elderly.
