Early May heatwave coming || Content sponsored by Whitaker’s Towing

File / eExtra News

The upcoming weekend will be sunny, very breezy, and hot with high temperatures pushing near-record levels in some areas. Highs will heat up into the 90s in most areas with a few areas across the Big Country and western Central Texas reaching between 100 to 105 degrees. Areas, where highs are a little cooler further east, will see enough humidity for afternoon heat index values reaching around 100 degrees. Gusty southerly winds of 15 to 25 mph may bring a little relief, but prepare accordingly if you plan on spending extended time outdoors this weekend into early next week. Elevated fire weather conditions are possible from Eastland south through Comanche and to Lampasas. Isolated storms are possible across these same areas late Monday as well.
