Summary
Most of North Texas remains under an Extreme Heat Warning until 8 p.m. Tuesday, with highs expected to reach 106 degrees.
Gusty winds, low humidity and dry vegetation are keeping fire danger very high across the region, while scattered showers east of Dallas-Fort Worth offer little relief for wildfires west of Fort Worth.
A weak front arriving Wednesday should trim temperatures closer to 100 later in the week, though only low rain chances are expected through Thursday.
Triple-digit heat is forecast to persist into the weekend, and officials say residents should follow burn-ban precautions even in counties without active restrictions.
