Arlington

Here are cooling locations open to the public in Arlington

The heat wave continues across North Texas with highs once again climbing above 100 this weekend. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect through 8 p.m. Saturday evening and will likely be extended into Sunday.

Along with the intense heat, the fire danger will remain elevated, especially for areas west of I-35. Red flag warnings are posted for parts of North Texas as breezy south winds combine with low relative humidity and ongoing drought.

Here are some places offering air conditioning and shade.
