The National Weather Service in Fort Worth is again expecting highs in the the Dallas-Fort Worth area to remain in the 100s this week.
NWS Fort Worth notifies the public of air quality alerts at the request of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Allison Prater, a meteorologist for the weather service, said air quality is affected by hot weather and low winds.
“When we have lighter winds, ozone pollution is more favorable during this time, especially when there is less wind,” Prater said. “After a few days, air quality can really tank.”Prater said highs for most of this week will be above 100, with the hottest air temperatures and the heat index expected Tuesday and Wednesday.
