Triple digit heat hits Texas earlier than usual
Blistering temperatures are forecast across Texas with Lubbock near record highs Saturday and Sunday and Dallas Fort Worth about 10 degrees above normal. Humidity will make it feel hotter in the north. El Paso also faces 103 plus through Tuesday while Houston and San Antonio stay cooler. A potential cooling front could bring relief to Lubbock Sunday, but little rain is expected for 10 days. Cotton growers say planting 3.5 million acres should endure current heat with minimal damage.
