Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – The National Weather Service in Fort Worth says a Heat Advisory iwill remain in effect for all North and Central Texas counties until 9:00 PM, then for areas along and south of Highway 380 through 9:00 PM Saturday. Highway 380 runs east and west across the state north of the Metroplex. With temperatures ranging from the mid 90s to around 105, and for many areas east of US 281, heat indices between 105 and 112 degrees will make the heat feel stifling and very uncomfortable outdoors, even for very short periods of time. Continue to practice heat safety to limit yourself from heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Drink plenty of water or water-based drinks with electrolytes, avoid extended time outdoors, especially during the daytime hours, wear light-colored and lightweight clothing, and remember to ALWAYS check the back seat before leaving your vehicle. It could be a matter of life and death!
