Temperatures in the upper-80s to upper-90s are expected today through Saturday across the Panhandles. Although these temperatures are common through the late spring and summer, it's still only March! That means we have not been exposed to these temperatures in months which makes it potentially hazardous for those susceptible to being affected by heat.
Heat Risk takes into account factors such as how much warmer the temperatures are compared to normal, seasonal acclimation, and duration of heat. Considering these factors, Heat Risk is showing a minor Heat Risk for the Panhandles from Thursday through Saturday, with localized areas such as Palo Duro Canyon showing a moderate Heat Risk.
