Brutally hot temperatures are gripping North Texas with daily high temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. The high heat combined with low humidity and breezy conditions will create increased fire danger across North Texas, especially for areas west of I-35.

Burn bans are now out for 113 counties across the state, including some in North Texas.

Drought conditions continue to expand with many locations now dealing with moderate to severe drought.
