Forecasters warns of near-record heat over North Texas this weekend. High temperatures will likely peak Sunday, ahead of next week's cold front.

As of 10 a.m. Wednesday, Hurricane Milton remains a Category 4 storm but has weakened slightly. The winds are around 145 mph with gusts to 175 mph. Milton is forecast to weaken a bit more through the day but will make landfall as a major hurricane later on Wednesday very close to the Tampa Bay Area or slightly south of the center of circulation.

North Texans are in for a scorching weekend with high temperatures soaring to 95 degrees, followed by a much-needed cool down early next week.
