Brace Yourselves: North Texas Might Break Heat Records This Weekend

Remember when the Farmers' Almanac said we'd have "warmer-than-average" temperatures this fall? Well, they weren't kidding. North Texas is about to get lit—literally.

After already sweating through above-average temps this week, this weekend is going to crank up the heat even more. We might even break some records. Who needs a pumpkin spice latte when you can have a pumpkin spice sauna?

CBS News Texas meteorologists are predicting highs of 95℉ on Saturday and 96℉ on Sunday, both just a hair below the record highs of 97℉. Saturday's record was set in 1979, while Sunday's dates back to 1910. Who says history can't repeat itself?

Get ready, Breckenridge, because you're about to become the new hotspot. AccuWeather is calling for a high of 96℉ on Friday, 98℉ on Saturday, and a blistering 101℉ on Sunday. Time to break out the sunscreen and AC units!
