Scorching heat will continue into next week across Texas and neighboring areas, including the western Gulf Coast region. By early next week, high temperatures could reach 110 to 115°F or higher in parts of western and southern Texas. Heat will also spread northward across the nation’s mid-section, with temperatures possibly reaching 100°F by Monday as far north as South Dakota. Heat in the western Corn Belt could significantly increase stress on corn and soybeans, especially where drought exists.
