Heat records continue to fall in Dallas as scorching summer continues in the United States

Another record-setting day of high temperatures is forecast in the Dallas/Fort Worth area before a slight cooling trend moves into the area. The National Weather Service issued heat warnings Saturday stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Southeastern U.S. and upper Mid-South. Excessive heat warnings are 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. The high in Dallas is forecast to reach 107, topping the 2011 record of 106. National Weather Service meteorologist Ted Ryan says a heat dome over Texas is expected to move starting Sunday with near normal highs in the mid-90s starting Monday.
