Austin weather: Triple-digit streak record to be tied Thursday

Austin weather: Hot with no rain in sight

The hot, dry weather, along with an afternoon breeze, will increase the wildfire risk here in Central Texas. Zack Shields has details in his full forecast.

AUSTIN, Texas - The heat and fire danger will remain at extreme levels today. 

We will tie the record streak for triple-digit days as we head for 106°. 

Most of Central Texas will be under a Heat Advisory from noon to 9 p.m. 

The lack of moisture, dry ground and gusty winds will lead the way for another Red Flag Warning. Please no outdoor burning because the fire danger is way too high.

We are tracking the heat dome to see if it can move far enough away to bring the temps down and enter rain chances to the forecast coming up on FOX 7 Good Day Austin.
