Beating the Heat with Heavy Hits and Hamilton
The Metroplex is heading into a Good weekend for entertainment, even if the thermometer is working overtime. With high-signal indoor events like Hamilton and Rangers baseball dominating the schedule, there is no reason to sweat the summer slump. Stay hydrated and stay indoors while you take in the best the city has to offer.
Expect intense triple-digit heat this weekend with Sunday peaking at a blistering 106 degrees. Skies will remain clear to overcast with virtually no chance of rain, making late Friday afternoon the only reasonable window for brief outdoor activity.
