North Texans can expect much of the recent heat to continue through this weekend and into the beginning of next week.

The extreme heat is dangerous to be outside for an extended period, which is why the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for most of North Texas until 8 p.m. Saturday. It's important to take precautions over the next several days and weeks as some of the hottest days of the year come to an end.

Another heat advisory is in the forecast for the week of Aug. 17 across North Texas. Some scattered storms and rain will move through the area mid-week.
