Showers possible in North Texas on Wednesday, dropping temperatures slightly
North Texans could see a few showers or storms in Wednesday afternoon as a disturbance tracks northwestward through the area.
It won't be widespread; just a lucky few will get some rain and a brief drop in temperatures with the additional cloud cover from the disturbance keeping afternoon highs a little cooler.

Some areas will top out in the upper 80s, and Dallas-Fort Worth will likely reach into the lower 90s. Keep an eye on the sky and listen for any thunder if you are hanging out at the pool.
An isolated shower is possible once again on Thursday with highs near 93 degrees.
Then on Friday and into the weekend, high pressure builds in overhead and temperatures will once again warm up.
Triple-digit high temperatures aren't expected, but some areas will reach the upper 90s.

Outdoor graduation ceremony becomes 'mass casualty incident' as over 150 people fall ill to extreme heat: 'I couldn't breathe'
Several high school graduations in New Jersey were postponed after excessive heat during a two-part ceremony Monday caused what the Paterson city fire chief declared a "mass casualty incident," according to the Guardian. A "heat dome" began to descend on vast swaths of the Northeast and Midwest on Sunday, and over 100 million Americans endured a days-long extreme heat warning as dangerous temperatures blanketed Boston, New York City, and Baltimore. Over 150 people were sickened in Paterson, New Jersey, on Monday during a pair of high school graduation ceremonies, the Guardian reported. According to NBC News, the Paterson Fire Division initially responded to the first of the two events. During the morning ceremony, around 50 people fell ill because of the excess heat. A second ceremony, held in the afternoon, proceeded as scheduled, and another 100 attendees required medical attention. Of those sickened, nine were hospitalized. Paterson Mayor André Sayegh subsequently canceled all "recreational activities," declaring a state of emergency as the heat index approached 110 degrees. The heat index, or "apparent temperature," is what outside temperatures feel like when accounting for humidity. CBS News' coverage of the events underscored the insidious nature of high temperatures, showing how quickly heat-related illness can endanger anyone. Excess heat is a form of extreme weather, and over the past three decades, it has resulted in more annual deaths on average than hurricanes, tornadoes, and lightning strikes combined. Rising average global temperatures and warming seas have been likened to "steroids" when it comes to extreme weather. Heat waves, hurricanes, wildfires, and severe storms have always been part of weather patterns — but as the planet overheats, they've become far deadlier, costlier, and occur much more frequently.

Extreme heat poses risks even to the young and healthy, and in Paterson, graduates and spectators alike fell ill. "It was exhausting. I couldn't breathe, like my chest hurts," Rosa Parks High School graduate Ciarra Bailey told News12 New Jersey. Another attendee witnessed "people fainting around us." Existing climate models are "likely understating the relationship between climate change and persistent summer weather extremes today," climate researcher Michael Mann told CNN. The city of Paterson issued a heat warning on its website ahead of the ceremonies. Nevertheless, more than 150 people became seriously ill. In Paterson and on much of the East Coast, local municipalities opened cooling centers for residents without access to a climate-controlled environment. The incidents at Paterson's graduation ceremonies occurred early in the season, with the typically hotter months yet to come. As extreme heat waves become stronger and more frequent, awareness of the impact of climate on weather is important — particularly because heat-related illnesses are fast-moving and extremely dangerous. During a heat wave, staying hydrated and avoiding unnecessary exertion are two key ways to stay safe.

Hot forecast for Pride Parade has Chicago officials urging crowds to stay hydrated
City leaders are pleading with the public to stay cool for the second weekend in a row. A heat wave last weekend triggered warnings across the Chicago area, and with Pride Parade on Sunday, another scorching forecast is a big worry. Temperatures are expected to hit the 90s, with a heat index close to 100. Roscoe's Tavern, right in the middle of the parade route in Lakeview, will be ready. Drinks will be flowing all weekend. With the heat, that hopefully includes a lot of orders for water. The bar is reminding people on its social media pages: "stay hydrated." "Gotta remind people every year. I'd say about an hour in, at some point, we'll have someone like, 'Oh, someone's passed out somewhere, we need to get water to them,'" manager Shawn Hazen said. Wall-to-wall crowds are expected all along Halsted Street on Sunday. "You can't move. It's crazy out here," Hazen said. City leaders are also concerned about the safety of the big crowds in that heat. Police plan to have officers and medical tents stationed along the route to help in the event of an emergency. "You're talking about conditions where people can become dehydrated, pass out," Police Supt. Larry Snelling said. Snelling worries the combination of packed crowds and hot weather will put a lot of heat on first responders. So the Chicago Police Department created temporary black and white signs posted along the parade route for anyone calling into 911. "There are markers along the parade route where they can look up and they give an exact location of where they are," he said. Another concern: after-party shenanigans that turn criminal. Police arrested more than 50 people following last year's Pride Parade, recovering several guns in the process. "We've been collaborating extensively with local businesses, bars, and agencies to help manage crowds and prevent unauthorized gatherings," said Ald. Bennett Lawson (44th). The alderman, whose ward is home to the Pride Parade, thanked residents for their patience this weekend, because road closures for the parade will stay overnight in some locations. Parking is also restricted until Monday morning in several spots. Only the good kind of headaches are expected back at Roscoe's. It's one of their busiest weekends of the year. "Lots of rainbows and lots of people out to have a good time," Hazen said. Organizers estimate spectator attendance at 800,000 people for the parade.
