Veteran NWS meteorologist explains why this heat is unique
North Texas is under an excessive heat warning through 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The National Weather Service anticipates the heat index temperature to top 110 degrees!
National Weather Service, Fort Worth, Senior Meteorologist Eric Martello says he's only seen this kind of heat/humidity combo a few times in his 30 years. "Even though the temperatures themselves are fairly normal for this time of year," Martello says."It's this near-record humidity that we've only seen probably three, four or five times in the last 50 to 60 years that's causing the problem."
So Martello encourages Texans to drink plenty of water, limit time outdoors, get in the shade, and wear light-colored, breathable clothing.

Cracked off its base, the buried marker bears the name of a former Kentucky slave, John Eubanks set free by his owners after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. His somewhat Forrest Gump-like career in a Kentucky Black infantry unit was memorialized in a 17-volume “Slave Narratives” collection produced during the Great Depression by the Federal Writers Project, which provided work for unemployed writers.
