Heat wave stretches across Texas with scattered storms
Record heat grips cities from Laredo to Waco while Texarkana reports .15 inch of rain and Tyler .03 inch. Thunderstorms drifted from north of Clovis to near Levelland with small, weak cells moving east southeast. A USDA linked grass fire response followed a Paducah area disturbance as a Byrd Ranch fire burned at midnight. Tree damage from the storm piles up at Berglund’s site, where elm and other mature shade trees are felled to clear a log yard, and the Karper Grove’s historic Chinese elms show the toll of winds.
