By Monday, we're back to strong winds and temperatures in the 80s. Red flag warnings were just south of us on Saturday. We could easily see these warnings return by Tuesday or Wednesday.  What we need is rain.

After a brief cooldown, heat and high winds are expected to return to North Texas. Residents should prepare for increased fire danger this coming week.

High winds in North Texas are causing power outages and dangerous conditions. Warnings are in effect until 9 p.m., with gusts up to 89 mph. Residents are advised to avoid activities that could spark fires and to keep generators away from homes to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
