Be sure to stay hydrated out there and take breaks in the shade. The heat dome remains over Texas, therefore, the heat wave will continue. Expect more days of 100° weather. As a matter of fact, we could see a record of the highest consecutive day of temps at 100 or greater for us in Amarillo. The number to break is 8.
