Dallas Weather: July 23 morning forecast
Meteorologist Ali Turiano talks about very slightly lower temperatures in the forecast over the next few days.
DALLAS - We’ll get the Texas summer version of relief on Thursday. Temperatures may be right at or below 100 degrees for most of the day.
Thursday Forecast
On Thursday, breezy east-northeast winds will help lower the afternoon highs ranging from the mid 90s to 100.
According to the National Weather Service, there is only a heat advisory and no excessive heat warning in effect for North Texas on Thursday.
But don’t let that fool you. It will still be hot. The heat index could reach between 105 and 109.
Friday Forecast
As Bertha's remnants stay to our south, more moisture and the air and cloud cover will hold North Texas in the mid to upper 90s for Friday.
Again, it will still be hot with triple-digit heat index values.
7-Day Forecast
High pressure remains our dominant weather feature, keeping us hot and in the triple digits through next week.
If you have outdoor plans over the weekend, you’ll want to continue taking steps to avoid heat-related illnesses.
There are no chances of rain in the forecast in the near future.
Symptoms of Heat-Related Illness
Temperatures this week can be dangerous, especially if you don’t know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
The symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness.
People experiencing heat exhaustion should move to a cooler area, loosen their clothing, sip cool water, and seek medical help if symptoms don’t improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke.
The symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and loss of consciousness.
Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately if you suspect someone is experiencing a heat stroke. Heat stroke can be deadly if not treated as an emergency.
