Dangerous heat today and tomorrow. An Excessive Heat Warning goes in effect at noon today through Tuesday evening. Heat index values could approach 120°. DFW close to 115°. It already feels like 100 in DFW and it is not even midday yet.

A problem at a Texas nuclear power plant Friday caused a sudden dip in electricity supply, forcing ERCOT to tap a brand new reserve system to stabilize the grid. https://t.co/28KASp7yH2

Have you thought, "I don't ever remember it being this humid!" Well... you're right. We tied a maximum dew point today at DFW. Dew point is the true measure of moisture in the air. We've only hit levels this high 5 other times on record. #wfaaweather

Texans were told to prepare for a "new reality" Wednesday after energy experts announced demand for power this summer will likely outweigh the supply. https://t.co/IHSQhpP0OY

Final severe weather forecast update before storms fire ~2pm. The greatest severe threat is the area south of I-20 along the I-35 corridor where baseball size hail, wind damage, and a couple tornadoes are expected. Across the DFW Metro, mainly a large hail threat. #dfwwx #ctxwx

@wfaa These would be a nice feature in Cedar Hill at the State Park or one of the preserves.

The entire state of Texas as photographed by NASA from space, 2018. This is a fascinating image to look at if you're at all familiar with Texas geography. Not only can you see all of the major cities but even towns like Temple-Killeen, Midland-Odessa ... even small towns like Monahans, Alpine, Marfa etc.. The Eagle Ford can also clearly be seen. But what blows me away is the lights in the area around Pecos. Those lights aren't quite as intense as they are in Midland-Odessa (immediately to the east of Pecos) but the area is at least as big, perhaps bigger. Amazing. Fortunately, with the exception of Presidio, the Big Bend remains dark. May it ever be so!

@TPWDnews I never knew that the State doesn't own the State Parks land.

Most people stay inside during a winter storm, but a group of Jeep drivers says they’re needed out in the thick of it along I-20 in Duncanville to tow 18-wheelers stuck on the frozen highway. https://t.co/Tfc5NVC2Jr
