NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) - We're watching a critical fire threat as excessive heat continues before a slight break in the heat early next week.

The high Friday was 106° and we're forecasting it to be even hotter Saturday.

While 106° wasn't a record, the morning low of 84° was a new record for the highest minimum temperature.  

 Saturday's forecast would tie the current record. Sunday's forecast would be a new record.   

Our weather alerts go through Monday. A weak front will hopefully knock temps down for Tuesday. At the very least, it will hopefully drop our lows back into the 70s for a couple of days.
