Ozone Action Day Declared for North Texas Amid High Heat and Humidity
North Texas is experiencing elevated heat and humidity levels, prompting an ozone action day on Thursday. According to CBS News, temperatures are hovering near 90°F (32°C) as the region heads into the weekend. The combination of high temperatures and stagnant air conditions has led to increased ozone levels, which can pose health risks, particularly for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. While the heat persists, there is some relief on the horizon as storm chances are expected to return to the forecast in the coming days.
