Anytime you are near or setting a record high in July or August in North Texas – it’s a big deal. Today is a big deal. The record high is 106 and the forecasted high is also 106. By the way, today is not the hottest day of your work week.
A scorcher is on the way today in the DFW Metroplex with a high temperature around 106.
