National Weather Service Forecast Extreme Heat for Memorial Day Weekend

A “heat dome” is currently enveloping parts of the southern U.S., leading to extreme temperatures in several states. Parts of Texas are under a heat advisory, with temperatures near the Rio Grande forecasted to reach 111 degrees. This heat dome is predicted to persist for the coming week.

The National Weather Service advises caution during outdoor activities or exercise in the heat, especially over the holiday weekend. They have also introduced a new tool for heat awareness, effective May 23, 2024, to May 26, 2024, providing valuable daily updates. A link to this tool is included below.

The link gives you access to the map and the ability to check future heat predictions and heat forecasts by very specific locations on the map. The website is currently “experimental” and could be modified in the future. However, it appears to be a valuable tool for precautions during extreme Texas heat.
