Another record-setting day of high temperatures hit the Dallas/Fort Worth area before a slight cooling trend moves into the area, according to the US National Weather Service, as heat warnings stretch from the Gulf Coast to the Southeastern US and upper Mid-South.
Temperatures in the area reached 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius), breaking by four degrees the previous record for this date that was set in 2011, according to the US National Weather Service.
The heat dome that has been over the state since June is expected to move out of the area soon.
Excessive heat warnings were in effect for much of eastern Texas, most of both Louisiana and Mississippi and portions of Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois and the Florida Panhandle
