North Texas heat prompts splash pad cool off at park
FOX 4’s Alex Boyer talked to a couple of moms at Klyde Warren Park who opted to take their kids to the splash pad to cool off.
DALLAS - North Texas was expected to have its first triple-digit day of the year, but that is no longer the case.
Wednesday Forecast: Triple Digits?
A dry line approached the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and now looks to be retreating westward.
Temperatures went from 94 back down to 90 degrees at DFW Airport between 1 and 2pm.
So, the odds are there will be no century mark for DFW today as expected. The 95-degree record high for this date may not even fall.
Areas west of the metroplex could still see temps near or at 100.
Tonight, temperatures will still be warm with lows in the low 70s. Humidity will increase again overnight, making the air feel thick and sticky.

Firefighters prepare for heat with mobile rehab units
First responders are gearing up for an unusually hot day in May. Here's an inside look at the Arlington Fire Department's mobile rehab units.
As temperatures climb, firefighting crews in Arlington are preparing for the worst with mobile rehab units. These are specially equipped vehicles that support firefighters during extended calls.
These units are stocked with cold towels, electrolytes and water to help first responders stay safe in the extreme heat.
Thursday Forecast
Thursday will feel more like early June than mid-May, with muggy air and highs in the 90s. The increased moisture means there’s a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm, with more cloud cover than usual.
7-Day Forecast
The unseasonably hot and humid weather continues into Friday. Isolated storms are possible during the afternoon and evening, with a low-end risk of hail and gusty winds. Most of the storms are expected to fizzle out by the evening.
The weekend will bring a mix of clouds and sun, with temperatures in the low 90s on Saturday and Sunday. Scattered storms are possible, and while the risk for tornadoes is low, some areas in North Texas could see hail and damaging winds. Most of the storm activity is expected to stay north of Texas.
