heat advisory<\/a> issued by the National Weather Service that extends through 9 p.m. Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\nTemperatures are expected to reach as high as 98 degrees Thursday, but high humidity will bring the heat index, or \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature, as high as 110, according to the National Weather Service\u2019s Fort Worth office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The heat advisory was issued because the heat index was projected to be at least 105 for two consecutive days, Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
The weather service recommends postponing outdoor activities and staying hydrated in light of the advisory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is a slight, 34% chance of thunderstorms Thursday evening. This slight chance will persist Friday before showers and storms become increasingly likely Saturday, according to the weather service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to KXAS-TV (NBC5), this heat can be attributed to a tropical system moving away towards the south and a cold front moving in from the north. The front is expected to bring rain later in the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
