North Texas Sizzles Under Unexpected May Heatwave

North Texas braces for record-breaking heatwave. Dallas-Fort Worth is experiencing unusually high temperatures for May, with forecasts predicting record highs and potential triple-digit heat for Tuesday and Wednesday. This early heatwave has caught many off guard, as the average first 100° day is typically July 1st. "Some places back towards West Texas can definitely experience some triple-digit heat," said Ryann Jones, a meteorologist with NBC 5. The unexpected heat is prompting concerns about the potential strain on the power grid and the need for residents to take precautions to stay safe. The National Weather Service is urging residents to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day. While the heat is expected to subside by the weekend, this early heatwave serves as a reminder of the intense summer weather to come.
