A heat advisory was expected to remain in effect for Texas on Friday as the stifling summer heat continues across the state, according to the National Weather Service.
The advisory area extended eastward from the Interstate 35 corridor to the Texas-Louisiana border and south from East Texas and portions of the Dallas-Fort Worth area to the Gulf of Mexico.
Triple digit temperatures were likely throughout the state.
In North Texas, a heat advisory was in effect through Saturday evening. Highs near 102 and 103 were possible on Friday in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Temperatures could feel as high as 107 when heat index values are considered.
Southeast Texas was also under a heat advisory heading into the weekend. Heat index values topped 108 degrees there this week and could reach that mark again on Friday.
Mostly sunny skies were forecast around Houston and Galveston. Highs near 100 were possible around Houston and could be in the lower 90s around Galveston. Temperatures could feel as warm as 107 around Houston and 103 along the coast.
Forecasters expect overnight lows will not fall below the upper 70s while the advisories are in effect.
Heat index values could reach 107 around Austin and 104 near San Antonio.
A 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms was possible in West Texas with highs near 100 expected throughout.
